KD in the house
Nike invited Vehicle to help launch the KD11 at Nike San Francisco. Tasked with creating a memorable, unrivaled retail experience for Kevin Durant’s signature footwear release in the Golden State Warriors' own backyard, we chose a path of total domination.
Our retail design team embraced the “Built For a Plush and Bouncy Ride” tagline as a springboard and inspiration for the entire consumer experience. We outfitted the exterior windows with a mountain of custom-made basketball pillows, bouncy trampolines, and eye-popping graphics.

Turning it up to 11
We went for maximum impact inside the store by blanketing the entire entryway with full court coverage of the KD11 on large-scale lightboxes and interior-facing window graphics.

Double takes on the Sixth floor
Shoppers arriving on the 6th floor escalator landing were greeted by a surreal KD11 video created by Nike, playing on our wheat-pasted 3 x 3 video wall. We flanked the wall with two pedestal vitrines to continue the theme from the exterior windows.
