A new partnership brings Barrett<\/a>\u2019s fulfillment expertise to one of the most buzzworthy names in performance and streetwear footwear.<\/p>\n

FRANKLIN, Mass., August 15, 2025<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Barrett Distribution Centers<\/a>\u00a0has\u00a0entered into a strategic partnership with\u00a0FCTRY LAb<\/a>, an emerging Los Angeles-based footwear disruptor recognized for its bold design, rapid technological<\/span> development, and culture-shifting collaborations. Barrett will now handle warehousing, fulfillment, and transportation for FCTRY Lab<\/a>\u2019s direct-to-consumer (D2C) business, supporting rapid growth and a dynamic product roadmap.<\/p>\n

Elevating the Future of Footwear<\/strong><\/h3>\n

FCTRY LAb<\/a> was co-founded by industry leaders\u00a0Omar Bailey<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Abhi Som<\/a>, with a vision to break the mold of traditional footwear. Their output has already made waves\u2014especially with game-changing drops like the\u00a0Duckboot<\/a>, a collaboration with rapper NLE Choppa<\/a>, and the\u00a0Stomper<\/a>, a powerful motorcycle-inspired model seen on WWE\u2019s Seth Rollins<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With products ranging from the\u00a0Knight RNR<\/a>\u00a0(a sleek foam recovery slip-on) to the\u00a0MOCC for Men<\/a>\u00a0&\u00a0MOCC for Women<\/a>\u00a0(combining moccasin comfort and futuristic materials) and rugged\u00a0RUFL Boots<\/a>\u00a0spotted on New York runways, FCTRY LAb\u2019s fresh approach is resonating across athletic, streetwear, and performance communities.<\/p>\n

Bailey<\/a>\u2014a designer trusted by MLB<\/a> and NBA<\/a> superstars\u2014also provided custom Super Bowl cleats for Jalen Ramsey<\/a>, earning top NFL honors, and now crafts shoes for NFL star Trent Williams, international cricketers, and tennis pros.<\/p>\n

Why Barrett? The Power of Scale and Speed<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As FCTRY LAb<\/a> faces the end of its current warehouse lease, the need for a nimble, scalable logistics partner became clear. Enter Barrett<\/a>: a seasoned 3PL with deep roots in apparel and footwear fulfillment, offering proximity to FCTRY LAb\u2019s LA base and the infrastructure to keep up with D2C surges and new launches.<\/p>\n

Ravi Bhaskaran, Chief Operating Officer at FCTRY LAb<\/strong>\u00a0said<\/a>, “Barrett checked every box, from their proximity to our HQ and deep footwear experience to their ability to meet fast-paced scaling needs and high order volumes. With the lease ending at our current facility, FCTRY LAb<\/a> turned to Barrett for a quick and flexible solution, and they delivered. Partnering with Barrett sets us up for success as we enter this next growth phase.”<\/p>\n

Harrison Smith, Director of 3PL Pricing at Barrett<\/strong>\u00a0added<\/a>, “Led by a visionary team, there’s no doubt FCTRY LAb<\/a> is poised for remarkable growth. We can’t wait to be a part of the game-changing future they’re building\u2014and to provide the fulfillment and transportation support that helps them get there faster.”<\/p>\n

Ready to Disrupt, Ready to Grow<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Barrett<\/a>\u2019s Montebello, California, facility now houses FCTRY LAb<\/a>\u2019s operations, providing access to scalable infrastructure and proven fulfillment processes as the sneaker brand prepares for its next chapter.<\/p>\n

With a shared focus on speed, excellence, and performance-driven results, this partnership is built to deliver more than just boxes\u2014it\u2019s a foundation for future innovation in one of the fastest-moving segments of fashion and footwear.<\/p>\n
