Nike NYC HQ: New Custom Basketball Court Design & Installation
Nike’s NYC headquarters is more than just an office—it’s a testament to the brand’s relentless pursuit of innovation and excellence. Among its many impressive features, the custom-designed basketball gym stands out as a symbol of Nike’s commitment to creating the ultimate athletic experience. This gym isn’t just a place to play; it’s a place where dreams take flight and legends are born.
The Vision: Bringing A Dream To Life
When Nike envisioned their new headquarters in NYC, they didn’t just want an office. They wanted a space that embodied their spirit and mission, a space where employees could feel the pulse of the brand. Central to this vision was the basketball gym, a sacred ground where performance meets innovation.
The project began with a simple yet powerful idea: to create a basketball court that would inspire and elevate everyone who stepped onto it. Nike knew they needed a partner who could not only meet their high standards but also share their passion for perfection. That’s where J & J Gym Floors came in.
Crafting Excellence: The Design And Build
From the outset, it was clear this was no ordinary gym floor. The design had to reflect Nike’s iconic brand while providing the ultimate playing surface. Our team at J & J Gym Floors collaborated closely with Nike’s designers to create a floor that was both visually stunning and performance-enhancing.
The Design Process
Every detail of the gym was meticulously planned. The floor features sleek lines and modern finishes, with Nike’s branding seamlessly integrated into the design. This wasn’t just about aesthetics; it was about creating a space that felt uniquely Nike. The bold, dynamic patterns on the gym floor echo the brand’s spirit of innovation and excellence.

Choosing The Right Materials
The floor’s foundation had to be as solid as the vision. We selected top-grade hardwood for its durability, performance, and aesthetic appeal. This choice ensures that the floor can withstand the intense wear and tear of constant use while providing the perfect balance of traction and comfort. The result is a surface that supports both amateur enthusiasts and professional athletes alike.
