Projects: Nike Flagship Store, Gang-nam, Seoul December 4, 2014 by Super User Nike almost always does a nice job with its use of in-store digital, and there were some things in the apparel giant’s flagship store on the Gang-nam shopping street in Seoul that I’ve not seen before and liked.

Where’s Dave???
