The whole store has been decked out as a locker room, customers can browse T shirts on the wall gallery before selecting the corresponding number, size and color. Staff then wrap the selected shirt in a special Nike shoebox for take out.

I Like Nike!
Selected shirts revolve in the entrance
The gallery opened on Friday the 19th, but Weekender learned that most stock had gone by the following Saturday afternoon!
Don’t worry brand addicts a new batch is due in soon, but Weekender recommends you get there sharpish as Tokyo-ites know a bargain and there is nothing that Japanese consumers appreciate more than the words ‘limited edition’.
