The athletic-inspired retailer said the new Hibbett Kids site and app have been designed for shoppers to find the latest fashion and footwear styles with an easy-to-navigate, expanded selection of children's footwear, apparel and accessories. More from WWD All the Beauty Retail Expansions of 2025 Boggi Milano Opens Columbus Circle Store JD Sports Opens First Canadian Flagship Store The company added that the new Hibbett Kids experience was 'thoughtfully designed' with families 'front and center,' and was built using the latest state-of-the-art technology to keep pace with busy parents who rely on efficiency, allowing a variety of ways to quickly and easily search and find what they're looking for. Shoppers can filter their searches by new arrivals, gender, size, color, brand, price, clothing or shoe type, trend and much more, the company added. Hibbett Kids offers a wide selection of kid's footwear and apparel for ages 13 and under. The sizing breakdown includes Grade School/Big Kids sizes 3.5 to 7, Preschool/Little Kids sizes 10.5 to 3 and Toddler/Infant sizes 1-10.

'We've built a thriving and successful kids' business and in our next phase with Hibbett Kids, we will continue to engage with parents and caregivers in a more personalized way.' This move comes nearly a year after JD Sports closed the acquisition of Hibbett Sports as part of the UK-based retailer's efforts to dig deeper into the U.S. market. JD Sports said at the time that it planned to acquire 100 percent of Hibbett, which was quoted on the Nasdaq in April 2024, for a price of $87.50 per share, in cash, implying an enterprise value of $1.11 billion. Régis Schultz, chief executive officer of JD Sports Fashion Plc, said in April 2024 that the acquisition is in line with the company's priorities and is 'very important' for its strategic and financial development. This news comes just weeks after JD Sports reported revenue in fiscal 2025 of 11.46 billion pounds, an increase of 10.2 percent from 10.40 billion pounds in 2024. Profit before tax and adjusting items was 923 million pounds, a 4 percent decline from 961 million pounds the prior year.

Hibbett debuts kids-focused app, e-commerce site
This story was originally published on Retail Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Retail Dive newsletter. Hibbett, the Birmingham, Alabama-based athletics apparel and footwear company, has launched an e-commerce website and mobile app dedicated to selling products for kids, the retailer announced Wednesday. The app is available on Android and iOS devices. Hibbett Kids offers apparel and footwear for kids ages 13 and younger from brands like New Balance, Jordan, Nike, Crocs and Adidas, the retailer said. The e-commerce platform features installment payment options, a customer service chat feature, access to its rewards program, new product release notifications and personalized content. The retailer will release new products on a daily basis. Just in time for the back-to-school season, Hibbett Kids presents shoppers with an expanded selection of children's footwear, apparel and accessories. 'We're expanding our digital footprint to better serve today's busy families and offering a more convenient, seamless, curated shopping experience from the nursery years through the teen stage,' Bill Quinn, CIO of Hibbett, said in a statement. 'We've built a thriving and successful kids business and in our next phase with Hibbett Kids, we will continue to engage with parents and caregivers in a more personalized way.' Customers can filter their searches by new arrivals, gender, size, price, color and brand, among other options. Hibbett is executing its digital push with a new owner at its helm. U.K.-based JD Sports bought Hibbett last year for $1.1 billion. Prior to that acquisition, Nike and Hibbett had established a partnership that connected their loyalty programs. In 2023, Nike and Hibbett created a joint rewards membership, allowing shoppers to earn rewards when they buy Nike and Jordan products through the retailer. Nike has a similar deal with JD Sports and Dick's Sporting Goods, among others. Meanwhile in the athletics sector, Dick's Sporting Goods announced in May that it would acquire Foot Locker in a $2.4 billion deal. Foot Locker will act as a stand-alone business and maintain its brands, including Kids Foot Locker. Foot Locker also recently underwent a digital transformation with a revamp of its app, resulting in an uptick in purchases. The app loads faster, features richer content and helps the retailer's loyalty members track and use their points, President Frank Bracken said on a call with analysts at the end of last year.
