Connecting Commercial Retail with Social Impact
Sidewalk Athletics began as a creative sneaker and streetwear boutique in Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine neighborhood. As founder Micheal Giddens gained industry experience with Fleet Feet—leading workplace wellness activations and performance footwear fittings—the vision evolved.
What started as a passion for sneakers transformed into a mission to improve community health through movement. Today, Sidewalk Athletics blends retail, coaching, and social impact into a scalable mobile model designed to serve schools, corporations, factories, community events, and neighborhoods across the Midwest.
We are committed to increasing access to quality footwear, movement education, and supportive communities. By combining profit with purpose, we aim to uplift individuals of every age and background—one step at a time.
