NIKE+ TRIAL ZONE


The world's first interactive, true-to-sport, trialling experience.






While professional athletes have access to unparalleled training, performance assessment and supportive innovation, people trying on shoes are limited to a bench and few feet to jump in. To help consumers make the right decision on their performance wear, select Nike stores were equipped with treadmills and basketball courts, powered by a digital platform, motion sensors and cameras. Every product loaded bespoke drills and interactive games that enabled consumers to test the shoe against key performance indicators.

In a world where more and more customers buy online, Nike has provided a legitimate reason to come in store.

SPACE JAM: DEFY ALL MONSTARS 

An example of a product-specific experience. For the 20th anniversary of Space Jam, Air Jordan dropped a limited edition AJ XXXI inspired by the most awesomest basketball game in the history of space-time — Tune Squad vs Monstars. We surprised Trial Zone users with a screen takeover from the infamous Monstars, which challenged customers to a cosmic rematch. Customers had the chance to try the shoe while immersed in a gloomy, alien-contaminated court environment, where they could finally take the buzzer beater to defy the Monstars once and for all.

Launched alongside the new Nike store in Soho, Nike+ Trial Zone has been scaled across several stores around the world - including Beijing, Paris, Miami - making sure, for the very first time ever, that consumers are in the right shoe before purchase.
