Nike's Massive 5-Floor SoHo Store Finally Set to Open
The store has been teased for quite awhile, but it finally opens on Nov. 11, according to their site.
SOHO, NY — Even LeBron James would be blown away by the number of shoes in Nike's new SoHo megastore. The store, which opens Friday, Nov. 11, according to its website, is five stories worth of shoes.
The store is located at 529 Broadway — a six-story retail building which will be filled almost entirely by Nike. And to honor the opening, Nike has announced they will release a handful of special shoes — in a limited supply only.
XXL had the details on what the first-come, first-serve shoes will be: LeBron Soldier 10 x John Elliott, AF1 Low NYC, Air Jordan IX Space Jam, Air Jordan IX Kobe and the Air Jordan XII Royal.

XXL also reports there will be an Air Jordan restock featuring the Air Jordan XI “72-10,” Air Jordan I “Banned,” Air Jordan XXX1 “Banned,” Air Jordan I “Black Toe,” Air Jordan I “Pinnacle,” Air Jordan IV “Cement” and the Air Jordan 1 “Shattered Backboard.”
The overhaul of the building has been in the works for literally years. Bowery Boogie wrote about its two-year overrun back in May. Racked reported all the way back in May 2015 that Nike was the likely flagship for the remade landmarked building.
