There are many ways the leading sports brand has made an impact around the world and these examples of global Nike locations show just a handful of them. Speaking to its consumers (and potential customers) on a variety of levels, the American brand has embarked on its own projects and teamed up with other artists, designers and brands to reach new audiences and demographics.
From art to sporting events and even innovative retail experiences in general, these examples of global Nike locations are eye-opening and influential. Although people are mainly interested in the quality products the brands puts forth every year, they can be just as intrigued by how such designs and sport technology can be applied in different and compelling ways.
