Nike is proposing a 31,500-square foot new store in Miami with a rooftop basketball court
Nike is trying to make a radical addition to shoe retail stores.
According to Curbed Miami, Nike has proposed a 31,500-square foot, three-story retail store in Miami that will have a rooftop basketball court and jogging track.
Customers trying on sneakers will no longer have to walk in small spaces to test the feel — they can put them to action by playing basketball or going for a run.
The plans for the building sound grandiose. The first two levels will be entirely stocked with retail with 17-feet high ceilings, and the total height of the building (including the sports deck) will be 51 feet.
Here's a look at the current space and the proposed designs for the building.
