Situated at the heart of the Nike World Headquarters, Shoe Dog Bridge connects the innovative work campus with natural splendor. Exploring East meets West and drawing inspiration from historic covered bridges and traditional Japanese Origami, the bridge and the roof’s structure are crafted from a delicate balance of wood, steel, and concrete. The unique fold is symbolic of a body in motion fostering deeper understanding of quality, craftsmanship, and impact. A portal and a destination, the Bridge is a place to decompress from hustle and bustle of traveling to the tranquil campus, or to pause and delight the senses in a natural oasis. Celebrating human potential, Shoe Dog Bridge captures the essence of the Nike World Headquarters.
