The 40th Annual FNAAs Will Honor Spike Lee, Tory Burch, Jaden Smith, Ronnie Fieg, Adidas’ Record-Breaking Sneaker and More

Throughout its history, the "Shoe Oscars" have brought the best in the shoe world together to celebrate the big wins.

The FN Achievement Awards (FNAAs) — founded in 1986 to recognize the most influential executives, brand architects, retailers, designers, legends and style stars — are marking their 40th anniversary with another stellar lineup of honorees, including Spike Lee, Kith founder Ronnie Fieg, designers Tory Burch and Gianvito Rossi, and breakout talent Jaden Smith.

The footwear business has undergone enormous change over four decades — an evolution that has also been reflected in the growth of the FNAAs.

From its origins as an intimate breakfast gathering, the event has grown into a glamorous red carpet affair and awards show ceremony that unites the worlds of footwear, fashion, retail, sports and entertainment together.

Throughout its history, the FNAAs have been committed to bringing the shoe world together to celebrate the big wins among top brands, designers and retailers, while also shining a light on the young talent paving the way for the future. Expect the same from the latest edition of the event, to be held Dec. 2 at Cipriani 25 in New York.

Here is a look at the full group of honorees for the 2026 FNAAs:

” Ever since the Mars Blackmon character he created appeared in ads for the Air Jordan in the late 1980s, Spike Lee has been one of the most impactful figures in sneaker culture. Whether through his groundbreaking films or his diehard fandom for his beloved New York Knicks, Lee helped redefine the image of the modern urban lifestyle, giving voice to the Black community and bridging the worlds of art, sports and style.
