The store features a variety of displays that have been set up in a way that invites shoppers to venture deeper into the space. In addition, the displays serve to separate the store into [distinct sections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/globus-basel), as they each highlight a different sport. Bulkier items, such as [mountain bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bicycle-store), hang from the store's ceilings, while smaller pieces, like cricket bats and basketballs, have been arranged into sculpture-like designs. As a whole, the space offers customers a clean, spacious, and [playful shopping experience](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-and-nike) that is intended to encourage exploration and experimentation.
