Nike’s new store in New York City is loaded with tech

Sean Madden, senior director of service and experiences for Nike’s direct-to-consumer division, says the tech inside the store isn’t meant to be the main attraction.

That being said, the idea is obviously that you’ll use that area to try on shoes you’re interested in.
