Last month saw the opening of Levi’s latest NextGen store concept, this time on Shanghai’s East Nanjing Road. This new store joins existing NextGen stores in Tokyo and Wuhan in Asia, and will be the brand’s pinnacle store in China, as the company states.
The elements of the beacon store combine the latest concepts and designs of the brand’s NextGen store initiative, aiming to transport an omni-channel experience to consumers.
The 670-square-meter, two-floor store was designed around a central skylight feature, creating a spacious and light-filled environment. It features local art on a large staircase wall mural, created in collaboration with Chinese street artist Sheep Chen.
Additionally, a Tailor Shop is located on the store’s second level. There shoppers can revive their preloved vintage pieces or personalize new Levi’s purchases, in addition to the Tailor Shop customizations such as pins, patches, embroidery and painting.
