Robbie Fuller

Fila / creative director

Robbie Fuller, a self-professed sneakerhead, grew up in North Carolina, refining his craft at Michael Jordan’s FLIGHT 23 sneaker store. His passion for shoes was so intense that his 5th-grade report card noted, “less athletic shoe drawing might prove beneficial.”

Robbie has since worked with iconic brands like Converse, Adidas, and is currently the Creative Director of Footwear for Fila (China). With over 60 patents to his name, he has led innovation, creative direction, and category leadership across multiple sports categories. He has personally designed signature shoes for NBA All-Stars, including Derrick Rose, Dwight Howard, T-Mac, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Damian Lillard, Klay Thompson, and Gordon Hayward.

In recognition of his influence, Complex magazine ranked him as high as 22nd most influential person in sporting goods. Over the past three years at ANTA, Robbie has contributed product designs, direction, and support for brands such as Arc’teryx, Wilson, and Salomon.
