LOS ANGELES -- To celebrate the launch of the Jordan Rivals footwear and apparel collection, Foot Locker has put its own twist on rivalries by opening a pop-up restaurant inside its LA flagship at Hollywood & Highland. Dubbed "Rivals Café," the store will open a pick-up window serving iconic sandwiches and hot dogs from the storied culinary histories of Los Angeles and Chicago. Rivals Café, powered by FOODBEAST, will be available to Foot Locker customers purchasing pieces from the Jordan Rivals line – a collection inspired by Michael Jordan's most notable basketball rivals featuring bold colorways and a retro style.
