Objective: Develop adidas Terrex’s first standalone outdoor apparel store concept, to lead the way in sustainable retail design.

Adidas TERREX is the athletic brand made for the outdoors. Capitalising on the record growth in outdoor apparel category, we worked with adidas to launch this sub-brand’s first ever standalone retail concept and European Flagship, in the heart of Munich’s shopping district.

Utilising the latest omni-channel digital technologies, Terrex’s Flagship brand experience offers an unrivalled customer experience which goes beyond the standards for this category. From water refill stations to downloadable trail guides and interactive footwear walls to air purifying planting – every element is designed to be actively explored. Everything, from the retail interior design to the new in-store service destinations, is aimed at equipping and inspiring consumer’s next adventure.

Digital innovation wasn’t enough, we also wanted the interior design to have a positive impact. Our global outdoor apparel store concept was purpose built and designed to set a new standard in sustainable retail design. Developing the spatial identity using biophilic interior design principles, our retail design concept achieved Platinum LEED-certified design status (it’s highest rating) and won the prestigious ‘Best Sustainable Store Design’ at the global retail design show, Euroshop 2023. The end result is a highly-sustainable retail design concept with a dynamic and sensorial brand experience design which mirrors the beauty of nature and the innovativeness of the adidas TERREX brand.

A statement of intent: The store façade and retail interior design is made of local sandstone, real plant vitrines and 3D printed mannequins - making it a sustainable retail design.
The Community & Service Hub: Designed to be the first point of call in-store for all adventurers, consumers can find local trail routes, book in-store events and learn safety tips from in-store experts.
End Plastic Waste: An integrated water refill station sits at the heart of the new global retail design concept, and delivers against adidas’ world-leading sustainability initiative.
Retail destination to outdoor destinations: Find local adventure routes and tours in-store, then save them in the adidas app or to your phone (powered by Outdooractive).
