Nike Unpack Your City

Insight

Nike has released a limited-edition shoe that celebrates the spirit of Shanghai’s architectural “golden age,” paying homage to multiple generations of the city.

The honour to the city even extends to the packaging, in a way that truly lives the ‘Just Do It’ message and gets people moving at the moment of unboxing.


A man takes a photo of a framed map on a wall display with his phone. The wall features other framed items, a QR code, Chinese text, and a vintage camera on a tripod.
A person holds a smartphone displaying an augmented reality map with Chinese text, featuring colorful graphics and navigational elements overlaid on a city grid.

Idea

The tissue paper new shoes are wrapped in is transformed into an interactive, reusable map of Shanghai.

The printed map triggers a unique Augmented Reality experience, unlocked via a WeChat Mini-program. The app grants access to workshops, community runs and activities, across the neighbourhoods of Shanghai.



Impact

Thousands of people access the new AR world.

Through a simple mobile booking mechanism, owners sign up to various experiences to put their new shoes to use across the city.
