2026 NATIONAL BLACK FOOTWEAR FORUM • SEPTEMBER 10–13, 2026 • DETROIT, MI
CommUNITY, is both a mindset and a mandate. It reflects the collective power of Black leaders to shape, build, and move the footwear industry forward together. As culture continues to influence every corner of the industry, this conversation centers the people driving that impact. From students to executives, we are no longer waiting for opportunity, we are creating it, scaling it, and sustaining it through community.
