London – Sportswear brand Nike has taken over the Selfridges department store’s multi-functional space, The Ultra Lounge, to launch the Pinnacle range of clothes. The line is based on quintessential British style and is exclusive to Selfridges. The pop-up space will be open throughout the Wimbledon tennis tournament.
‘This is a lifestyle collection we originally made for our top-tier athletes, but we wanted to be able to give that same elite offer to our consumers too,’ says Nike sportswear creative director Phil Dickinson.
The pop-up space will screen tennis matches, and Nike contracted arts directive RART to design an experience in which customers could have a design consultation resulting in a personalised design of one of 200 limited-edition polo shirts.
Selling the new Pinnacle line in a famous luxury department store space with different attractions is a great way to highlight the collection’s message, and to draw customers to the space.
