During Hispanic Heritage Month, recognized from Sept. 15-Oct. 15, companies are acknowledging the pivotal contributions of Hispanic and Latinx Americans with special initiatives, particularly in footwear and fashion. These brands created collections of sneakers, apparel and accessories that not only celebrate Hispanic culture, but also educate and engage the wider community through meaningful designs. Each piece typically incorporates elements that are culturally significant, helping to highlight the rich heritage and ongoing influence of Hispanic communities in shaping American society.

In addition to product releases, some brands and retailers are celebrating through campaigns and philanthropy.

This list will be updated as more details and updates on specific releases and involved brands are announced throughout the months.
