COVID-19 was challenging for Foot Locker, which operates primarily in shopping malls and was hurt by pandemic-era lockdowns; revenue for the year fell by almost 6%. But in the first half of 2021, the company had a new spring in its step: The shoe retailer reported net income of $202 million in its first quarter, a big jump from the net loss of $110 million in the year-earlier quarter.
