This past week, adidas and Concepts officially opened doors to a co-curated retail location that wipes away the conventions of a “pop-up shop” and introduces a collaborative endeavor like never before. Leading up to yesterday morning’s grand opening, adidas and Concepts sent Boston in a frenzy with an epic hunt-like experience that gave away 21 limited edition keys and a limited number of VIP cards. The keys had the potential to unlock some incredible giveaways, while the VIP card holds long term value as it grants access to upcoming footwear releases and experiences at the new store.
After the giveaway wrapped up, adidas and Concepts invited a select number of friends, family, and VIP to experience the store firsthand, and on Friday the shop opened its doors to a line of customers that stretched around the block. This is just the start of the adidas Concepts store, so expect more in the near future as this new retail store takes off.
