Nike x Off-White Shop
Spatial design concept
With Nike recently diving into the realm of high fashion, their brand has begun to collaborate with a large number of notorious fashion labels. Off-White, one of the most sought after labels in streetwear, is known for its history with Nike.
With Nike recently diving into the realm of high fashion, their brand has begun to collaborate with a large number of notorious fashion labels. Off-White, one of the most sought after labels in streetwear, is known for its history with Nike; sneakers from this collab can resell up to $1500. Due to the collab's success in the fashion community, and my interest in high fashion, I decided to design a pop-up shop to celebrate it.
Advantages of a Nike pop-up shop
Why is this worth it?
There are 4 main reasons why a pop-up shop would be worthwhile to explore for both the business and the customer: Celebrates specific lines/colorways, it adds exclusivity and “hype” to products, a sense of urgency means increased action, and it's an engaging way to promote the brand.
"Democratisation of fashion has made it possible for more people to participate in an industry that has historically had high barriers to entry”

Exploring the mood
Moodboard
Off-White was started out of irony and satire, essentially mocking high-fashion with the use of the quotations seen throughout the label. Another symbol seen in a lot of Off White’s products are a “Do not cross” line that are also present in crime scenes.
Opening up and making this space accessible to everyone is counterintuitive to the “do not cross line,” playing off of this symbolism and irony to show that his products are meant to be capitalized off of and for everyone to engage with.
Figuring out the floor plan
Coming up with the floor plan was extremely intimidating considering I knew nothing about architecture or interior design. I thought a clever way to play around with the design of the building was to build off of the Off-White logo.
