Ground Up Expands PepsiCo Partnership with Cheetos Footwear and Hosiery Collection
New York, NY– January 10, 2026- Ground Up, a leader in licensed footwear, is closing out 2025 by expanding its long-standing relationship with PepsiCo through the addition of another trend-setting brand to its portfolio, Cheetos. The partnership, brokered by PepsiCo’s licensing agent, The Joester Loria Group, marks a major milestone for Ground Up as the company enters the hosiery category for the first time.
This strategic move represents a significant step in Ground Up’s ongoing evolution from a licensed footwear leader into a broader lifestyle brand partner. By introducing hosiery alongside its signature footwear collections, Ground Up strengthens its ability to deliver brand storytelling and deepen consumer engagement across categories.
“This launch is more than a category expansion — it’s a creative leap that lets us tell richer brand stories and connect with fans in new ways,” said Layna Patel, VP of Licensing and Global Partnerships at Ground Up.
