For 75 years, FN has documented the triumphs and trials of the shoe business.
Few designers have the longevity of Manolo Blahnik, who has been a fixture in the pages of FN since the early 1970s.
Rihanna (a 2016 FNAA honoree) paved the way for women to have a larger voice in the sneaker market.
When major events like 9/11 have disrupted the normal state of business, FN has helped to guide the industry through change.
As footwear has grown into a global operation, FN has expanded its coverage as well with new teammembers and overseas partners.
