Much of the buzz in sneakers this week has surrounded Nike's new SoHo store and the highly anticipated releases scheduled for today's grand opening. Unfortunately, the wait to experience the location will be just a little bit longer.
In a statement issued by Nike, the company cites permitting issues in announcing that the SoHo grand opening has been delayed indefinitely. A new date will be communicated in the future, but the wristbands that have already been handed out will still be honored. See below for more information.
"We look forward to bringing New Yorkers the best of Nike at our new Soho store. Due to permitting issues, the store will not open to the general public as planned on Friday, November 11th. We will communicate the new opening date as soon as possible. Scheduled product launches and consumer events are postponed until opening.
UPDATE 11/17: Nike will open Nike Soho on Nov. 18. Read more here.
