German Sportswear Brand adidas has opened it’s flagship concept store in Jakarta at the Pondok Indah Mall 3. The 3,500 sft store mimics a stadium like environment and caters to top sporting and athletic needs of shoppers including running, training, football, basketball among others. The “Stadium Evolution” store as it has been named transforms the place into a refined sports stadium, with the gate entrance taking customers straight into a stadium like store to give a sense of place as well as the experience of shopping in a near-natural like environment. The aesthetics are well complimented with digital displays catering to the Gen Z & the Millennials who prefer playing games off the field and on their devices alike. The athelete’s locker style fitting rooms provide a brand-new experience in sportswear shopping in the country.
