My Mom and I took a roadie to Portland yesterday. We took a tour about the Nike Campus where my cousin works.
SO COOL!
My favorite part was the Idea Lab. An incredible library and place for creative inspiration. Whiteboard tables with bins of post-its. A 360 of inspiring books, trophies, shoe-boxes, modern furniture, little figurines.
Nike has an amazing history and still more in the making. I loved seeing the people that work there---such style! It was the ultra-cool for sure. Lots of Nike kicks. I even saw the guy that designed the Air Force 1. Epic.
This picture is of a track (duh) that is part of the Nike Campus. It was gorgeous with all the leaves. I was about to run a few laps myself.
We headed to the Nike employee store. UH OH---it was a score.
Thanks to my girl, Kimberly for recommending Mother's Bistro in downtown Portland.
We walked around downtown Portland. I LOVE this city. Like, I can't wait to go back.
Oops. A little windy.
