Presentedby, a London-based luxury sneaker and streetwear retailer, has announced the opening of a new flagship boutique in Qatar's Doha Design District. The new store has been launched in partnership with Msheireb Properties and is representative of the retailer's broader Middle Eastern strategy.
According to the company, the Doha District location will focus on selling limited-edition sneakers and streetwear from celebrated brands such as Supreme, Yeezy, and Nike. In addition, the store will offer several highly coveted collab pieces, including Jordan x Dior, Supreme x Louis Vuitton, Gucci x The North Face, and Nike x Off-White.
Presentedby intends for the store to be a highly immersive shopping experience. The retailer borrowed various elements from its sandy surrounding environment to inform the store's design. "Here in Doha, we came up with the idea of making a digital landscape reminiscent of the dune formations of the Qatari desert. We generate this kind of emotional landscape through which you can discover the products," said Carmelo Zappulla, Chief Creative Officer at Presentedby.
