Nike wanted to revamp their Nike.com platform to accommodate the massive amount of content,
keep a consistent look throughout all Nike brands,
but at the same time enable each brand to convey their own message.
The team dived straight into in-depth competitive research.
We tried to gather the latest trend on web platform design.
We gathered materials, drew insights, created design principles and suggested our design approach.
Our team moved to Portland to run an intensive one-month workshop with the Nike marketing team and come up with the most innovative ideas for the new face of Nike.
I focused on coming up with unconventional ideas to keep the team inspired.
One of the ideas was a concept called Smart Hovercraft, where the user's view hovers over an infinite gridwall of content and when user selects one, the view zooms in and the rest of the content around it shuffles to fit the user's preferences.
Obviously it was a little extreme to be applied to a heavy weight platform, but it was just a fun idea to get the conversation going.
When we got into tackling the issue with flexibility, I suggested that we go for modules.
Each Nike brand will have access to various types of modular blocks, and they can form a page however they want with these modules.
Below are wireframes of different types of modules that I explored.
A. Page layering B. Dropdown C. Full-size block stacking
The full-size block stacking was our most flexible option, so I went into visualizing it with high-fidelity wireframes to get a better feel of it.
Afterwards we went into defining the different type of modules and delivering template pages that would act as a starters kit.
Below is a video presentation on our final outcome:
Below are examples of page templates that we delivered to the Nike brands to utilize:
