SNIPES Launches “Pay It Forward” Program To Support HBCU’s

SNIPES Launches “Pay It Forward” Program To Support HBCU’s
Posted By: S. Moore on April 20, 2023


Foot Locker might have the sneaker game on smash as far as brick-and-mortar stores go, but SNIPES is looking to establish itself as a big-time player as well and is making moves to make us take notice while also supporting the culture.


This month SNIPES is launching their new “Pay It Forward” initiative which is designed to support HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) while also empowering the next generation of Black students by supporting their education and providing them a platform to address today’s issues that affect our tomorrow.



The Pay It Forward initiative kicked off at Clark Atlanta University this past April 11 in partnership with The Big Homecoming 365 Impact Tour.

During the event, SNIPES committed to providing $50,000 in scholarships to Atlanta students who signed up at their Scholarship Booth to ensure that these students get the help they need to make their dreams come true and hopefully make the kind of change we need in the future going forward

Props to SNIPES for taking such an initiative for Black college students looking to better themselves while trying to better society as well.

Balls are in your court now, Foot Locker and Jimmy Jazz (we kid, we kid, but nah, for real).

What do y’all think of SNIPES “Pay It Forward” initiative? Let us know in the comments section below.
