Pro:Direct and Nike are transforming 21 Mercer Street into a football-focused space in New York ahead of the 2026 World Cup. This marks the Swoosh’s return to one of its most storied downtown addresses after 21 years, reimagining the location through international football, community, and product innovation.
A Historic Address Returns
21 Mercer Street once served as one of Nike’s most important downtown hubs in the footwear culture scene. Now, the space is being reimagined as a physical home for football energy as the World Cup lands in North America. Early images show windows wrapped in archival-style Nike Football graphics, nodding to past eras while pointing toward what’s next.


What the Space Will Feature
The takeover brings together Nike’s latest Mercurial silo, a wider World Cup universe built through multiple collaborations, Cryoshots, and cultural moments. The space is designed to show how football lives not only on grass but in cities, shops, shoes, shirts, and the little cultural pockets that gather around the game.


More Than a Pop-Up
This is not a simple temporary activation. It is a reminder of how Nike moves when football, product, and place all align. 21 Mercer Street provides a fitting stage for the convergence of football culture and footwear heritage in the heart of New York.
