Feetures Launches Limited-Edition Sock to Support the Running Industry Diversity Coalition

June 4, 2025

$10 from every purchase to be donated to RIDC in celebration of inclusion in the running community

Charlotte, N.C. (June 4, 2025) /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – In celebration of Global Running Day, Feetures, America’s #1 running sock, is launching a limited-edition sock on Sunday, June 8 that represents more than just performance; it supports progress. For every pair sold on Feetures.com, the brand will donate $10 directly to the Running Industry Diversity Coalition (RIDC), a nonprofit dedicated to creating a more equitable and inclusive running industry for Black, Indigenous and People of Color.

RIDC unites leaders and brands across the industry to improve representation and accessibility in the sport. This partnership is deeply personal for Feetures: Song Anh Nguyen, the brand’s vice president of product, also serves as president of RIDC, having joined the organization in 2021, becoming a board member in 2023, and stepping into her role as president in 2025.

“When RIDC launched, we were immediately drawn to its mission of transforming the running space to be more inclusive,” said Song Anh Nguyen, vice president of product, Feetures. “Feetures has always empowered employees to bring their full selves to work, and RIDC gave me the chance to connect my passion for community and product into something meaningful.”

The limited-edition sock will feature design elements inspired by RIDC’s work and ethos, showcasing the shared vision between the organization and Feetures. With every purchase, customers can directly contribute to RIDC’s initiatives supporting training, education and programs that promote diversity in the running world.
