“Nike NYC is designed to be a dynamic store environment that is just as personal and responsive as digital.”

Nike Direct president Heidi O’Neill said: “Nike NYC is designed to be a dynamic store environment that is just as personal and responsive as digital. This premium destination gives consumers an authentic, immersive and human connection to the Nike Brand.”

In addition, the Nike NYC store uses the Nike App to offer digital services enabling customers to discover, learn and find the products.

Customers can also benefit from the Nike App in-store features such as Nike Shop the Look, Nike Instant Checkout and the Nike Scan to Try allows customers to instantly shop in-store displays, checkout in-store or request to try-on items.

Nike Shop the Look allows customers to scan a QR code on an in-store mannequin to explore every single item on the mannequin for different sizes and colours, and request for select products to be sent to a fitting room.

The entrance to the store, Nike Arena, features the Team Nike Service Desk to support customers in their shopping, as well as a custom-designed installation, Sport Beacon.
