SceniCorp Goes to Toronto for the NBA All-Star Game!

As part of NBA All-Star weekend’s festivities, Nike completely transformed a streetcar into the ultimate destination for first access to the newest footwear releases. SceniCorp’s challenge was to build out the interior of the street car in our Brooklyn shop so that it fit perfectly when installed hundreds of miles away in Toronto!

The streetcar is an all grey cable car with the words “Nike SNKRS XPRESS” plastered on the side in white and red letters alongside the classic Nike swish. The streetcar, which travels along Toronto’s Queen Street West, is fittingly dubbed “the ultimate sneaker destination,” by Nike.

Stepping onto to the SNKRS XPRESS is like entering a (high end) wooden spaceship. The interior walls and windows are lined with birch, rose gold and marble paneling while the whole ceiling is covered with mirrors.

Behind The Scenes

Each seat is numbered from one to 15 and named after a NBA player, and is accented with a different sneaker placed in a clear protective glass case. Outside of a few bumps and potholes, it’s easy to forget that you’re on a streetcar. Riders are encouraged to relax, enjoy the ride, and of course, stock up on the exclusive sneakers available on board, including the Horizon PRM Modern Made Jordans and the LeBron XIII Royalty sneakers.

Congratulations to Luis Pinto
