The American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai will host an exclusive fireside chat with Robbie Fuller, Creative Director of Footwear at FILA China on Thursday, June 11, from 6:00 pm-8:00 pm at the Chamber's Conference Room.


A self-professed sneakerhead, Robbie went from sketching basketball shoes in school notebooks to becoming one of the most influential American designers working in China's sportswear industry today.


Over the past two decades, Robbie has impacted sneaker culture across Converse, Adidas, Anta, and FILA, designing signature shoes for NBA stars including Derrick Rose, Damian Lillard, Klay Thompson, and Kevin Garnett. Today, his work inside the ANTA Group spans performance innovation, lifestyle design, and creative direction across multiple global brands, with more than 60 patents and a 2025 Red Dot Award to his name.


During the conversation, Ted Hopkins, Vice Chair of the Chamber's Retail Committee and Robbie will explore the rise of China's sportswear industry, how Chinese brands are moving from manufacturing to cultural influence, and why the next era of sneaker culture, performance design, and global sportswear innovation may increasingly be shaped from China outward.

    Creative Director of Footwear at FILA China

    A self-professed sneakerhead, Robbie Fuller grew up in North Carolina, honing his craft at one of Michael Jordan’s first sneaker stores called FLIGHT 23. In fact, he loved shoes so much that his 5th grade report card said, “less athletic shoe drawing might prove beneficial”.

    Since then, Robbie has worked for Converse, Adidas, Anta, and currently is the Creative Director of Footwear for Fila (China). At these brands he has been involved all aspects of the business including innovation (60+ patents and a 2025 RED DOT award), creative direction, category leadership for multiple global sport and lifestyle categories, and also personally designed signature shoes for NBA All stars Derrick Rose, Dwight Howard, T-Mac, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Damian Lillard, and recently Klay Thompson and Gordon Hayward.

    In fact, Complex magazine in the past ranked him as high as 22nd most influential person in sporting goods.

    In the last 3 years with the ANTA group he’s also contributed product designs, direction, and recruiting support for sister brands Arc’teryx, Wilson, and Salomon.
