About Us: Why People Who Know Sneakers
and Style Shop Hibbett

This isn’t a corporate “About Us.”
This is why Hibbett is the spot.

For 80 years, Hibbett has been the heartbeat behind hometown heat—bringing big sneaker energy to real communities. What started as a single local store in 1945 grew into a nationwide destination for people who care about what’s on their feet and how they show up.

Our mission is simple and loud:
Create exciting moments by providing access to sport lifestyle trends and experiences to consumers in underserved communities.
If you’re about fresh sneakers, clean fits, and easy wins, you’re already in the right place.
Because Hibbett is where you go when you want the latest sneakers and trending fits without the runaround.

No maze of random gear.
No hype fatigue.
Just the good stuff—must-cop launches, street-ready apparel, and sport-inspired essentials—in one place, online or in your neighborhood.

People shop Hibbett because it’s easy to win here. You come in knowing what you want. You leave with it on your feet.
Hibbett doesn’t try to be everything. It’s locked in on what actually matters.

Sneaker-first mindset: If your priority is shoes, Hibbett is built for you. No filler. No wasted time.
Looking to complete the look? Our assortments are curated in toe-to-head fits, so your sneakers and style hit together.

Local access to real heat: Not everyone lives next to a massive mall or brand flagship store. Hibbett shows up in real communities, bringing legit sneaker culture to places big retailers overlook.

Fresh drops without the chaos: You don’t need to hunt across five sites to find what’s trending. Hibbett stays plugged into what people are wearing right now. Compared to big chains like Foot Locker or Dick’s Sporting Goods, Hibbett hits different: More focused than a mega-store. More accessible than a mall-only sneaker shop.
Yeah. That’s the whole point.
Hibbett is legit because it’s built around:

  • Real brands people actually wear
  • Current styles, not dusty leftovers
  • A simple experience that doesn’t overcomplicate shopping
You’re not here for noise.
You’re here for your next pair.
However you want:

  • Shop online at Hibbett.com when you’re scrolling late at night.
  • Shop in-store at one of our 1000+ retail locations across more than 30 states.
  • Mix both with Buy Online, Pickup Today and fast delivery options, including 2-Business Day Delivery and Same Day Delivery with DoorDash and Uber Eats.
Hibbett lets you move how you move.
No friction. No extra steps.
Yeah—because fresh shouldn’t have to wait.
Hibbett offers flexible payment options so you can get what you want, how you want:

  • Klarna
  • Affirm
  • AfterPay
  • PayPal
More flexibility. Same drip.
Hibbett isn’t just about what’s on your feet.
It’s about who gets access to the culture.

Through our philanthropic efforts, we invest back into the communities we serve—especially young athletes and sneaker-loving kids who deserve a real shot.

First String, our signature community initiative in partnership with Nike, focuses on helping underserved youth get access to sport, mentorship, and opportunity—because talent is everywhere, access isn’t.

Other programs, like Support Her Sole and Hibbett Before Homeroom, also serve as a connection point between the communities Hibbett serves and access to exciting moments with partners like Nike, New Balance, adidas, New Era and more.

This is bigger than retail.
This is about opening doors.
Hibbett is for people who:

  • Care about how their sneakers look and feel
  • Can’t wait to get their hands on new drops from Nike, Jordan, adidas, New Balance, and more
  • Want current styles without the headache
  • Don’t want to drive across town just to find a decent pair
  • Like simple, focused shopping instead of warehouse chaos
If you’re about easy wins, clean fits, and staying current, you’re already the target.
The bottom line: Hibbett is the plug.
Not loud about it. Just consistent.

In 2024, Hibbett joined the global family of JD Sports Fashion—connecting hometown sneaker culture to a worldwide stage while staying rooted in the communities that built us.

It’s where you go when you want to shop smart, move fast, and step out right—without overthinking it.

This isn’t hype.
This is the move.
