Niketown in Atlanta, GA
Niketown stores have sprung up all over America in the last few years and the one in Atlanta can be found close to the Phipps Plaza in the northeast of the city. The store is described as being a mixture of sports shop and sports museum where visitors can read about the many big sporting stars formally and currently sponsored by Nike, for example Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods.
With regards to shopping, the Niketown store offers the brand's latest sneakers and clothing options along with everything that can be classed as athletic, such as basketballs, baseballs, catching mitts and American footballs. Many of the sneakers and clothing options are not available in other retail outlets and so if you are looking for something relatively rare with the Nike logo then this is the place to shop.
In addition to being a retail store exclusively for Nike products and a tribute to sporting legends, the Niketown store also works with the local community by organizing charity runs for both adults and children. These runs happen all over the country and benefit the local area, a fact that makes them very popular from year to year. The Niketown staff also holds a weekly running club on Wednesday evenings for all who want to join in and get fit. Runners and walkers of all abilities are welcome and are encouraged to take part in a 3, 5 or 7 mile course. The running club is free to join and may inspire you shop at Niketown even more!
