Superstylish sportswear Treatment for 5th floor of NikeTown NYC

Sunday, August 10th, 2008


Beijing Olympics have begun with a bang and on this occasion, Nike recently launched its new sportswear range. The latter’s launch has also been conducted in an interesting manner. The company redecorated the NikeTown NYC store. The entire fifth floor (where the store is) was given a Sportswear treatment. The NikeTown 5th floor sports a new architectural look and houses an entirely renovated range of products. The first and perhaps the most impressive thing that meets your eye is the five story chandelier-inspired windrunner installation. It spreads across several floors and is built around one of the most important silhouettes of sportswear-the Windrunner. This installation will be taken down in a month’s time but till then it remains the most spectacular thing found in a sports store anywhere.

This unique installation also includes the symbolic Windrunner of US team model (also worn by the U.S. athletes during the Opening ceremony of Beijing Olympics and will be worn again at the closing ceremony as well!).While everybody cannot be in NYCity to visit the NikeTown NYC store, those from diverse parts of the globe can have a look at the renovated store (as a part of the marketing campaign) here at adcrunch:

Showing Skin is being ‘Green’: Planet Green TV Spot.

Friday, July 25th, 2008

What’s common between PETA and Planet Green TV Network beyond their eco-concerns? It’s “Nudity” in their advertisements! The TV spot titled “Bank” advertising about Planet Green was created by agency Amalgamated (NY). The video shows a naked woman inside a bank striking a conversation with another fellow on electricity consumed (read wasted) in air conditioning our offices & homes because we Homo sapiens prefer to wear clothes. Her rationale is getting naked = going green = being environmentally conscious = saving our planet! HA HA HA :D

Really if that’s what we all should do then there’s no need for architects to design buildings as per LEED? Criticism part, the vid is funny enough in the end, when the security guard declares about his wish to be naked JLT! (Just like that) Ok people, here are the credits:
