Kicking off an unprecedented festival in basketball culture, the adidas 747 Warehouse St. opens its gates to Los Angeles on February 16th and 17th, bringing together basketball fans and those who are passionate about sport, music, design, innovation and sneakers.
747 Warehouse St. embodies adidas’ belief that basketball is never just a game. It’s much more. It’s creativity, innovation, music, community, sport and style – all of which will be showcased in one space within 747 Warehouse St., where attendees will discover how adidas creates in basketball.
Over the course of two days, 747 Warehouse St. will feature unforgettable live music performances by the most electrifying acts in music, appearances from some of the biggest names in basketball; speaker panels (TLKS); product customization; exclusive product releases; and more. 747 Warehouse St. will offer three distinct experiences: an evaluation of performance in the Test Center, building the future of footwear on the Production Line, and driving culture and creation in the Engine Room.
