In an effort to bring the Sport Changes Everything concept to life for the community, Nike will be creating a physical manifestation of this sports “Chicago-style.” The brand will be taking over a local diner to host various activations for young community members to celebrate the power of sports and be inspired by local sports stars and the young community leaders featured in the piece. 

The diner will open to the public starting Saturday, October 26 and will host activities (including Chicago sports viewing parties, meet and greets, pick-up games, etc.) through early November.
