"I'm absolutely thrilled to join the LØCI family as an owner," Nicki expresses. "Their mission resonates with mine. Sneakers have undeniably played a transformative role in shaping my unique style, allowing me to boldly express my true self. I wanted to ensure that the culture I grew up with, one of never giving up, was mirrored in my collection. It’s more than just fashion; it’s a lifestyle. I’ll never put out a single pair that I don’t wear. My fans know that about me. It’ll always be 'Nicki Approved'."

LØCI CEO, Emmanuel Eribo adds, “LØCI is all about working with people who believe in our mission and see the world in the way we do. Having Nicki Minaj place her faith in us as an owner and her determination to elevate our brand on a global scale is a testament to our shared vision of challenging conventions and making a meaningful impact."
