        100 PERCENT OF FOOT LOCKER, INC.'S $150 MILLION 5.5% CONVERTIBLE
                  SUBORDINATED NOTES CONVERTED TO COMMON STOCK
        o Will Not Impact Company's Fully Diluted Earnings Per Share
        o Reduces Company's Annual Interest Expense by Approximately $8 Million

NEW YORK, NY, June 4, 2004 - Foot Locker, Inc. (NYSE: FL), the New York-based
specialty athletic retailer, today announced that The Bank of New York, as
Conversion Agent for the Company's $150 million outstanding 5.5% convertible
subordinated notes, has received notice from 100 percent of the holders of the
notes of their election to convert their securities into shares of the Company's
common stock. Effective June 3, 2004, all of the convertible subordinated notes
have been cancelled and approximately 9.5 million new shares of Foot Locker,
Inc. common shares have been issued.

This conversion has no impact on fully diluted earnings per share as the
equivalent number of common shares has already been included in the Company's
fully diluted share count. The Company's annual interest expense will decrease
by approximately $8 million as a result of this conversion.

On April 20, 2004 Foot Locker, Inc. provided notice to The Bank of New York, as
Trustee under the indenture, with notification that it intended to redeem its
entire $150 million outstanding 5.5% convertible subordinated notes, effective
June 4, 2004. The redemption price on June 4, 2004 was equal to 103.1% of the
principal amount of the notes.

As a result of this redemption notification, the Company expected that most
holders would convert their notes into shares of Foot Locker, Inc. common stock,
on or before June 3, 2004 at a conversion price of $15.806 per share. This
expectation was based on Foot Locker, Inc.'s common stock continuing to trade at
a price greater than $16.30 per share, equal to the conversion price of $15.806
multiplied by the redemption price of 103.1% of the principal amount of the
notes.

Foot Locker, Inc. is a specialty athletic retailer that operates approximately
3,900 athletic retail stores in 17 countries in North America, Europe and
Australia. Through its Foot Locker, Footaction, Lady Foot Locker, Kids Foot
Locker and Champs Sports retail stores, as well as its direct-to-customer
channel Footlocker.com/Eastbay, the Company is the leading provider of athletic
footwear and apparel.
