THE STORE Location of a department
The store is located adjacent to H&M and Lifestyle, which drives in a lot of footfall, as well. Though, both these stores have a bigger area and look a little intimidating, as they are fairly priced as compared to Adidas Originals that is a mid-premium brand.
Store layout
The store has a free flow layout with efficient space use that is not very predictable to navigate but is easy to reach and maintain. The natural sight lines lead to the wall where the shoes are showcased and that is the focal point of the store. The free-flow layout is loosely grouped, non-linear and encourages browsing while increasing exposure to another category. There enough room between fixtures to allow traffic to follow smoothly Overhead directional signages are lacking to distinguish each category from other.
Non-Permanent layouts
The layout though movable hasn’t been changed over a month, though the merchandise changes every 1 - 2 week.
Giveaways:
There are funky giveaways of postcards, stickers and artwork consisting caricatures of Ranveer Singh or artwork saying I love Mumbai etc for people to take away from the store for free. These are well designed and help in word of mouth marketing, as well along with acting as souvenirs for people who visit the store.

THEME
Theme of the event: Walk for Water About the theme
The theme of this year’s CSR drive is ‘Walk for Water’ which is a drive under the aegis of annual Adidas Originals CSR drive, ‘Be Responsible’ coupled up with the product launch of our new shoe, ‘Float’. Our theme highlights the immediate situation of global water scarcity and focuses on promoting shoes that ensure water efficiency, quality, accessibility and sustainable materials such as better cotton, recycled polyester and ocean plastic. Adidas in it’s CSR Week would also organise a marathon to cover 6kms distance which people across various parts of the globe walk daily to fetch water, this money would go into charity for the same.

Window 3 The third window brings the concept of interactive window alive by using an LCD screen and sensors to understand touch to create a powerful campaign. The LCD screen would consist of a stop-motion graphic of water flowing continuously and would have a hand sensor circle beside it, which would say, ‘Touch Here’ which on being touched stops the wastage of free-flowing water and hence showcases that everyone is individually capable of stopping water wastage and can add to the movement; ‘Walk for Water.’

The main staircase fixture would be altered with a head stand on the uppermost stratum of the Island Display with a stand that would have a clock that ticks every minute to show that the collection would be out of stock in the mentioned hours and minutes and one can buy the newly released ‘Float’ collection to join the movement of ‘WalkForWater’ under the aegis of ‘BeResponsible’.
