Editorial Review for Niketown – by Meghan McEwen
The Scene
People flock to the store to see the interactive displays, sports memorabilia (including M.J.'s shoes displayed behind glass) and looming images of sports icons on three shopping levels. Aerobic techno music pounds from the speakers, and life-size mountain-biker statues dangle from the ceiling.
The Goods
All the T-shirts, caps, backpacks, basketball jerseys, sweatshirts, golf clubs and caps you can imagine--and all of it swooshed. The first floor carries the men's stuff; the second floor, with women's selections, has been revamped and expanded. The third floor has kids' stuff, golf equipment, video theater (showing shorts on things like women's volleyball and Michael Jordan), and the team sports display, showcasing Nike jerseys and equipment from the NFL and NBA.

Semper Fi of course is the Marine Corps motto which means "always faithful". So it only makes sense for this Marine to call this review Semper Swoosh or Always Swoosh... NIKETOWN Chicago has the most innovative technology when it comes to sports apparel. Whether your a hooper, golfer, runner or weight lifter. They have something for everyone. As Nike, Inc. founder Bill Bowerman once said, " if you have a body, then you're an athlete....".
