Our Vision of Impacting the Community of San Jose Was Realized with A Jordan 1 Retro HI Chicago “Lost and Found” Pop-Up Shop at Our Original Store on Bascom Avenue Where It All Started 29 Years Ago.
The “Lost and Found” Event Was an Immersive Experience for The Community. Upon Entering the Installation, Old Film Clips of Michael Jordan Played on Over Thirty Tube TV Monitors, Projection Mapping, And the Nostalgic Ambiance of The Shoe Palace Store That First Opened In 1993. Passing through a marked door our customers stepped into a Turn the Clock Back Bedroom Filled with all Things from the Early 90s.
Epic Moments:
- The first 23 Customers Purchased the Shoe for The Original Price Of $64.99
- Shoe Palace Founder Agob Mersho Came Out of Retirement to Surprise Our Employees
- Took Out a Full-Page Ad in The San Jose Mercury News, To Commemorative the Original Ad
- Over 1500 People Entered the Raffle with The Line Wrapping Around the Block
- Only 2-3 People Entered the Pop-Up at A Time So They Could Enjoy the Full Experience
- Raffle Winners Were “Losing Their Minds” With Excitement Upon Entering the Space
- The Photobooth Installation Created a Moment Where Everyone Wanted to “Just Hang”
- Special Canvas Bags and Other Commemorative Items Were Gifted for This Iconic Launch
There Was a Tremendous Amount of Planning and Work That Went into This Moment Ensuring Our Customers in Every Region Were Able to Obtain This Highly Sought-After Shoe. We’ve Never Witnessed a Launch Where So Many People Immediately Put Their Shoes on In Joy and Disbelief That They Secured This Long-Awaited Retro.
