Looking to directly engage consumers at retail locations, three Adidas flagships brought ‘Faster Than’ to life in an immersive treadmill experience. Guests trialed the new SL20 and Ultraboost20 shoes in a 45-second interactive journey on self powered treadmills. The experience featured real-time metrics on speed and distance while taking the user through a visually dynamic branded virtual environment.

The Result

Customers left more confident with their decision after being given the opportunity to test the shoes in a more real-world scenario, while Adidas received valuable user data regarding their new footwear before releasing them to the larger market. By the end of the campaign, Adidas was able to capture hundreds of footwear trials and track direct shoe sales per result.
