A Global Retail Language

Nike’s stores need to bring together product, sport, campaign, and brand expression without pulling attention away from the person at the centre. The work focused on a retail language that could keep that focus clear across very different environments, from large flagship moments to smaller in-store displays.

Beneath the campaign imagery sits a clear design grammar for how image, type, product, and motion meet on screen. Layout grids, typographic hierarchies, motion principles, and sequencing rules shape how each asset enters, sits, moves, and resolves, giving every campaign a consistent visual logic while keeping the creative alive.

The work had to function inside live retail environments, where people move quickly, screen sizes vary, and each building brings its own constraints. Large campaign moments, product-led placements, storefront windows, and in-store displays all needed to feel connected without becoming identical.

At House of Innovation Paris, the gridded storefront windows become a sequence of connected campaign moments, extending the experience from inside the store into the street. Across the wider network, the same language adapts to different screen formats, sightlines, façades, product zones, and store layouts, allowing each location to feel connected to the global system while still belonging to its own context.
