Niketown New York City
NikeTown New York opened its doors to the New York City marketplace in November of 1996. The store was located in Midtown Manhattan, at the prime location of 57th Street and 5th Avenue. The five-story global flagship was a must see for sports fanatics, athletes, and sneakerheads from near and far. The global flagship was home to a Nike ID Studio, Rooftop Training Sessions, Nike+ Run Club, Athlete Appearances, and more exciting events to energize the NYC consumer around sports and sneakers over the years.
