At the heart of the Nike World Headquarters, Shoe Dog Bridge connects iconic campus with natural splendor. Exploring East meets West and drawing inspiration from traditional Japanese Origami, the bridge and the roof’s structure are crafted from a sustainably sourced regional timber. The unique fold is symbolic of a body in motion fostering a delicate balance of quality, craftsmanship, and impact celebrating human potential and capturing the essence of Nike.
