Store design | Interiors & VM | Fixtures: The store has more than 100 digital touchpoints with 100 per cent powered by green energy throughout the store. The store design has bespoke innovations into the adidas app, including a ‘Bring It to Me’ feature which uses in-store geolocation tracking for an uninterrupted browsing experience. Shoppers can scan products, check stock, request their size and purchase on the spot as they shop without the need for queues or designated collection spaces.

The store is designed using a large range of sustainable and responsibly sourced materials including recycled plastic, foam and textiles.

Each floor of the store features also original commissions from London artists. The store’s digital innovations are augmented by a range of bespoke services. Consumers can use the adidas app to book a slot with Crep protect at an in-store sneaker cleaning service, arrange a product test in the running lab or secure a bra-fitting appointment with a team of experts. Bespoke ‘LDN’ product has been designed and will be exclusively sold in-store.

Interactive changing room mirrors use RFID technology to recognise products and provide information, with shoppers also able to request different sizes and colours without leaving the space.
