Nike partnered with TAIT to bring to life a three-story, pop-up arena featuring a fully interactive, regulation-sized LED court with customized content and training programs. The Zoom Genealogy Room highlighted 20 years of Nike Zoom innovation, while a kinetic lighting structure enhanced the display of iconic shoes. In the Council of Zoom area, the brand's story was narrated through Nike Zoom Elites like LeBron James, Kyrie Irving, and Kobe Bryant. Visitors enjoyed photo ops and a hi-tech basketball experience in Zoom City legends. The retail area, showcasing the latest Zoom shoes and the unreleased Apple iPhone, allowed fans to purchase gear directly courtside and the New York High School Playoff series kept attendees engaged with live competitive play.
