Nike Rise Seoul is an innovative concept store that offers a look at the future of digital and physical shopping experiences, as well as sustainability in retail. Within the store, there's the Sport Pulse platform for sharing sports updates and popular products, as well as the RFID-enabled digital footwear table, Nike Rise is Inside Track, for comparing product benefits just by placing a shoe on the surface.
Last year, Nike opened the doors to its first Rise retail concept store in Guangzhou and now, this format is being introduced to new areas. With its new store, Nike is furthering its Move to Zero initiatives, since it is among the first of its kind from the brand to secure a LEED Gold certification, and it's also the first in Asia to launch Recycling & Donation service for gently worn apparel and footwear.
