The New Nike Headquarters in New York City is an Architectural Masterpiece

By Jesse Jernigan July 26, 2017

Nike has found an East Coast home in New York City and it can only be described as none other than an architectural masterpiece designed by Studios Architecture and Nike’s very own Workplace Design and Connectivity team.

While the company’s global headquarters will remain in Beaverton, Oregon, Nike believes its East Coast presence will continue to drive the brand’s global vision. The company has had a long-standing relationship with New York City, but is hoping this move will establish its reach within the city.

Located at 855 6th Avenue, Nike’s stunning new headquarters in Manhattan features six floors of floor-to-ceiling windows for an abundance of natural light and enviable city views, an open office environment, conference rooms, and a design studio.

The entrance is formed by a tunnel that will make you instantly feel like an athlete entering the field of play. The artwork and décor lining the walls was designed by local artists and pays homage to the company’s history and historical branding. The one interesting, design centerpiece that is really special to the Swoosh brand is the vintage Volkswagen van that has been transformed into a small meeting room. But, this isn’t just any run-of-the-mill van.

The van’s significance dates back to Nike’s very beginning when co-founder Bill Bowerman used it to distribute company product. You know you must be doing something right if you can turn a Volkswagen van into a worldwide empire.

Nike’s new East Coast headquarters is an impressive 150,000 square feet in size and 4,000 square feet is dedicated to a state-of-the-art, indoor basketball court on the second floor. It’s without a doubt the highlight of the unveiling and will likely be a hit among the employees on their lunch breaks. Nike also plans to make it a multipurpose space hosting events as well as youth league and area high school basketball games.

The rooftop terrace features a giant Swoosh logo planter that makes the headquarters visible from the Empire State building. It too will also serve as an event space and will have an on-site food truck.

The first ‘Apprentice’ footage gives us a glimpse of Sebastian Stan’s Donald Trump

The footage features Trump being coached through an interview by Roy Cohn

Jeremy Strong and Sebastian Stan in The Apprentice

Since Donald Trump burst into the political arena in 2015, everyone has done some sort of impression of him. Some of those impressions have been better than others. The Apprentice, though, will be the first time that we see a feature-length performance of Donald Trump on the big screen. Sebastian Stan is taking on a much younger version of the character as he tries to make a name for himself in New York City.

Now, we've got our first glimpse at Stan's Trump impression courtesy of a one-minute clip from the film. In the clip, Jeremy Strong's Roy Cohn coaching Trump as he speaks on the phone to a reporter. “I intend to acquire the Commodore, and I’m planning on making it the best and the finest building in the city, maybe the country — in the world … it’s going to be the finest building in the world,” Stan says in the clip, showing us how subtle his take on the future president is.

Amy Adams turns into a dog in the first trailer for ‘Nightbitch’

The trailer is a reminder of just how stressful motherhood invariably is.

Amy Adams in Nightbitch

Over the course of her long and famously non-Oscar-winning career, Amy Adams has been a lot of things. She's been a linguist working with aliens, a woman with a fake British accent, and a painter. Now, Adams is checking one more thing off of her list by transforming into a dog.

In the first trailer for Nightbitch, Adams plays a mom who puts her career on pause to stay at home with her kids. Unfortunately, the extreme stress of spending all day with her kids ultimately convinces her that she's turning into a dog. The film is based on a novel by Rachel Yoder, and was adapted for the screen and directed by Marielle Heller, who also directed The Diary of a Teenage Girl and A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, among other movies. In addition to Adams, the film also stars Scoot McNairy and Zoë Chao.
