The iconic sportswear brand was celebrated inside a vibrant space that fused optical illusion art and sculptural displays with a series of 90s-inspired products. The FILA pop-up was launched in celebration of the brand's recent Mindblower sneaker rerelease and its accompanying Mindblower-themed clothing line. First launched in 1995, the sneaker also served as a point of inspiration for interior design details within the space. This interactive retail experience brought FILA's heritage to life while highlighting [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puff-life-collection)-friendly design elements that appealed to Gen-Z and Millennial audiences.
