Eastbay was a long-running US retailer of athletic shoes, apparel and team sports gear, known for its catalog and later its website. It belonged to Foot Locker, which merged Eastbay into the Foot Locker brand, and the separate Eastbay store no longer exists. People still type eastbay.com, and the test on this page sends a request to the old address from an outside server to show what happens: the status, the response time and every redirect along the way.
Where eastbay.com goes today
In a check from the US server on November 6, 2026, a request to eastbay.com redirected to www.eastbay.com and then to www.champssports.com, the site of Champs Sports, another chain owned by Foot Locker. The Champs Sports page answered normally. In other words, eastbay.com forwards into Foot Locker’s family of stores, and the exact final stop can change whenever Foot Locker updates the redirect, which is why the live result above is the best guide.
What the verdict means for a closed store
For an active shop, an unreachable verdict is bad news. For Eastbay, the verdict says less. If the chain ends on a Foot Locker page that refuses automated checks, the test reports a block even though the redirect is working as intended. The useful parts of the result here are the first steps: whether eastbay.com answers at all and which Foot Locker address it points to.
Getting what you came for
- Read the redirect chain above
It shows which Foot Locker-owned store eastbay.com currently points to.
- Go to the store directly
For the US, type footlocker.com or champssports.com in your browser; in other regions, use your local Foot Locker site.
- Sign in or create a Foot Locker account
Eastbay accounts are not used for new orders.
- Bring order details for old purchases
Foot Locker’s customer service needs the order number and the email address used at the time.
- Turn off any VPN
Foot Locker sends visitors to a regional store, and a VPN can land you on the wrong one.
Eastbay names and where they live now
| What you are looking for | Where it is now |

| Eastbay catalog | No longer published |
If you were looking for team gear
Eastbay was a common source of team uniforms, school sports equipment and coaches’ orders. With the Eastbay store gone, those buyers need a new route. Foot Locker sells athletic footwear and clothing, but a full team ordering service like the old Eastbay team catalog should not be assumed to exist under the Foot Locker name. If a school or club still has an Eastbay order form, ask the coach or supplier which store the team uses now.
How the redirect chain reads
Each hop in the chain above has a status code. A 301 tells browsers and search engines that the move is permanent, while a 302 or 307 marks a temporary forward that the owner may change later; the guide to HTTP status codes explains the difference. For eastbay.com, the type of redirect hints at how settled the arrangement is. A permanent redirect into a Foot Locker-owned store suggests the destination is meant to last. A temporary one can change without notice.
Browsers remember permanent redirects. If you visited eastbay.com months ago and your browser lands somewhere other than the destination the check shows today, it may be replaying the old answer. A private window asks the server fresh.
Old emails, promo codes and gift cards
Shoppers who still have Eastbay order confirmations or shipping emails can use the order number and email address with Foot Locker’s customer service. Links in those emails, such as tracking or account links, usually run into the same redirect and will not open the original order page. Eastbay promo codes belonged to a store that no longer takes orders, so treat them as expired unless Foot Locker says otherwise. For an Eastbay gift card with a balance left on it, ask Foot Locker’s customer service directly before assuming it is lost or that it still works.
Why the name still appears
Many shoppers remember Eastbay from its print catalog and its team sports pages, and old bookmarks, school team order sheets and saved links still point to eastbay.com. Since Foot Locker owns the domain, those visits are forwarded instead of failing. Since September 2025, Foot Locker itself is part of DICK’S Sporting Goods, but it still operates under its own name and website.

Questions about Eastbay
Is Eastbay still in business?
Not as a separate store. Foot Locker, which owned Eastbay, folded it into the Foot Locker brand, and eastbay.com no longer runs its own shop. The address now redirects into Foot Locker's systems, and shopping, orders and accounts are handled by Foot Locker.
Why does eastbay.com not open a shop?
Because the Eastbay store has closed. The domain only forwards visitors. Where you land depends on the redirect Foot Locker sets up for your location, so the result can look different from one country to another. The redirect lines in the check above show exactly where it goes from the server.
Where do I go for an old Eastbay order or return?
Contact Foot Locker's customer service, since Foot Locker took over the Eastbay business. Have your order number and the email address you used ready. Very old orders are likely to be outside any return window.
Do my old Eastbay account and rewards still work?
Eastbay accounts are no longer used for shopping. If you shop with Foot Locker, create or sign in to a Foot Locker account. Rewards rules are set by Foot Locker's own program, and old Eastbay points should not be assumed to carry over.
Can a redirect make the check say unreachable?
Yes. The check follows each redirect to the end. If the final page refuses automated requests, or sends the server to a regional site that blocks it, the verdict can be unreachable or blocked even though the redirect itself works. Read the redirect chain rather than only the verdict.
