experiences into a personal shopping destination.
Running
In the Nike+ Running Trial Zone on the first floor,
consumers start by consulting with Nike certified running athletes on
the best choices for footwear. They can then test out shoes on a
treadmill surrounded by two cameras capturing data from their run and a

trial zone, allowing for the simulation of an actual game or practice
environment.
