Functional Fabric Fair expands to offer footwear

08/07/2022
The autumn edition of Functional Fabric Fair, set to take place in Portland between October 26 and 27, will include a new pavilion dedicated to footwear. 

A spin off from Munich-based sourcing platform Performance Days, the fair welcomed attendees including adidas, Arc’teryx, Under Armour, The North Face, Timberland, Lululemon, Nike, Yeezy and Columbia Sportswear to its most recent session, which took place in April. 

“Footwear already overlaps with many of our attendees, which is a great growth opportunity for all,” organisers commented. 

Functional Fabric Fair is now accepting applications ahead of the October show, with more than 125 exhibitors already confirmed. Those who secure a booth of larger than “standard” size may be eligible for a “special introductory offer”.
