Summary

Nike a récemment ouvert une cantine traditionnelle à Guangzhou, conçue comme un point de rencontre pour les runners de la ville. Ce lieu modeste offre des soupes préparées avec des ingrédients locaux, tout en intégrant subtilement la marque à travers des cuillères en forme de Swoosh. En collaborant avec le sprinteur olympique Su Bingtian et en s’inscrivant dans la culture cantonaise, Nike crée une expérience authentique pour les jeunes sportifs. Cette initiative reflète un changement stratégique dans la manière dont Nike aborde le marché chinois, mettant l’accent sur le respect des traditions locales et sur l’engagement communautaire plutôt que sur la vente directe. Cette opération illustre la capacité de Nike à s’ancrer dans la vie quotidienne des consommateurs sans tomber dans la caricature, favorisant un sentiment d’appartenance.
