This spring, sportswear brand On opened the doors to a unique pop-up experience called The Monster Den. This location focused on “community, connection and a joy of running,” and it offered an engaging way for fans and newcomers to the brand to familiarize themselves with the brand’s offerings.
On-site, visitors got to explore performance running shoes from the brand like the Cloudsurfer, the Cloudgo, the Cloudrunner and the Cloudstratus, and see their supportive designs mirrored in the plush styling of the pop-up.
The playful spirit of The Monster Den also showcased a selection of Spring/Summer 2023 apparel, and in partnership with local running clubs and groups, On presented yoga, coffee clubs and live DJ performances.
