The “Nike 50 Moments” zone brings together Nike’s past, present, and future into one immersive audiovisual experience. Audiences are invited to relive the brand’s major historical milestones and legacies, appreciate Nike’s signature sneakers and ground-breaking advertisements, and cheer on their athletes and the endless possibilities that lie ahead.
“Moon Path” will highlight Nike’s marathon innovation efforts – the Moon Shoe, debuted in 1972, is both a legacy of Nike’s independence year and a symbol of the brand’s ambition. This section of marathon history houses a carefully curated collection of running footwear, each defined by its technology and the desire to better support athletes while also protecting the environment.
The “Feel the Allure of Air” tunnel features Nike Air, the brand’s most iconic offering, that spans new designs and addresses new cushioning concerns. Air was one of Nike’s first and most long-lasting innovations.
Nike’s legacy of sustainable innovation is on display in the “Move To Zero” lounge, including ZVEZDOCHKA, one of the company’s first attempts at closed-loop product, and Pegasus Turbo Next Nature, the newest advancement in performance footwear with the planet’s future in mind.
