These branded celebrations range from festive sneaker soirees to retrospective magazine parties that commemorate a milestone or brand birthday. While Jordan Brand's recent Shanghai party celebrated the brand's 30th anniversary with star-studded guests and museum-inspired displays, Grazia's immersive art installation was made from past issues of the popular style publication.
In addition to immersive parties, these branded celebrations also include publicity stunts like eBay's birthday cake that was unveiled in London earlier this year. The massive dessert was sent down the River Thames and commemorated the e-retailer's 20th anniversary.
Other standouts include Nike's tennis-honoring street celebration that featured spontaneous matches between athletic icons like Serena Williams, Rafael Nadal and even John McEnroe who won eight Grand Slams during his tennis career.
