US' Urban Outfitters unveils 'On Rotation' retail concept with Nike
Urban Outfitters introduces On Rotation, a new retail experience created to fuel discovery, inspiration, and authentic connection through a curated mix of today's most exciting brands, all brought to life with Urban's signature creativity. Launching Wednesday, May 14th, with its first partner, Nike, On Rotation will debut in stores featuring dynamic lounge-style installations in five key cities: New York, Washington D.C., Scottsdale, San Diego, and Manhattan Beach, CA. This new concept builds on Urban's strategy to meet the evolving needs of Gen Z and deliver community-driven, memorable retail experiences.
Cyntia Leo, Head of Brand Marketing and Communications at Urban Outfitters , explains the brand's approach to connecting with its audience: "Urban Outfitters has always been a destination for discovery, especially for Gen Z, who are expressive, engaged, and intentional in how they shop and show up. Connecting with this customer requires more than just great product; it demands cultural fluency and inspiring retail moments. That's what On Rotation is all about — transforming product categories into immersive narratives. Nike is the ideal first partner to bring this vision to life. Their cultural credibility is unmatched, and their legacy of innovation continues to set the pace."
Urban Outfitters will launch On Rotation with a cross-divisional assortment of Nike apparel and footwear, styled specifically for the UO consumer. Building on the launch, Urban Outfitters will expand its Nike product assortment across both digital and retail experiences, with over 150 choices. Additionally, to spark buzz and foster community, UO will tap into LA's vibrant running culture by releasing a limited capsule to celebrate the Nike After Dark Tour: Los Angeles 13.1, a race bringing together sport and self-expression this June. The collection – with an exclusive color way of the Nike Vomero 18, a maximum cushioned running shoe – will be available across all LA store locations, including the On Rotation destination. Leading up to the race, UO partnered with more than 20 influencers and college-aged community members on a four-month training journey to generate excitement and highlight Nike's presence at UO.
Urban Outfitters has launched On Rotation, a new retail concept designed to inspire and connect with Gen Z through curated brand experiences, starting with Nike. Featuring lounge-style installations in five US cities, the initiative includes exclusive Nike products and a special LA capsule collection linked to the Nike After Dark Tour: Los Angeles 13.1 event this June.
Brad Desy, Head of Stores and Branch Management at Urban Outfitters , describes On Rotation as a dynamic step forward in experiential store concepts: "On Rotation brings a bold new layer of connection and discovery to our stores. The "rotating" concept serves as a living discovery engine, offering a platform to bring our brands to life- in real time."
Future activations will spotlight new partners across fashion, lifestyle, and design, ensuring On Rotation remains a fresh platform shaped by the brands Gen Z knows and loves.

India is key strategic market for global brands, says Myntra CEO
HighlightsNandita Sinha, Chief Executive Officer of Myntra, emphasized the growing strategic importance of the Indian market, highlighting the launch of Myntra Global in Singapore to serve the Indian diaspora. Since the launch of Myntra Global on May 19, the company has experienced increased engagement, including a notable average order value and a promising percentage of returning customers. Sinha noted that less than 15 percent of the e-fashion market in India is currently penetrated, indicating significant opportunities for growth, particularly among the Gen Z demographic. India is a key strategic market for global brands while domestic brands are strengthening their propositions, Nandita Sinha, CEO of Bengaluru-headquartered Myntra , which launched in Singapore last month, said. "With the launch of Myntra Global in Singapore, we're also laying the foundation for our global foray, with a long-term aspiration to serve the Indian diaspora beyond India," Sinha said on Sunday after attending the NRF 25, an international retail show held here June 3-6. "The new-age insurgent brands are tailoring their value proposition," she said, underlining the growing strategic importance of the Indian market. "With the launch of Myntra Global, starting with Singapore, Myntra is targeting the 6,50,000-strong Indian diaspora in the Lion City. Our home website in India was already witnessing notable organic traffic to the tune of 30,000 users from Singapore," Sinha told PTI. Since the Singapore launch on May 19, Myntra has seen a growing engagement with impressive AOV (average order value) and a promising percentage of returning customers already. "We want to further reinforce our position as India's most loved lifestyle destination, making the best of trendy fashion, beauty and lifestyle accessible to 100 million plus customers in the country," said Sinha, who is leading the Indian fashion e-commerce company of Flipkart. At less than 15 per cent, e-fashion in India is still significantly underpenetrated compared to global benchmarks, presenting a tremendous opportunity, she said. A key focus area for Myntra is Gen Z, a cohort that engages with fashion differently and demands trendy fashion, a more personalised discovery journey and a seamless shopping experience. "The aspirational Indian shopper is trading up across beauty, accessories, and occasion-wear and Myntra as one of India's leading e-lifestyle destinations, is well poised to cater to the aspirational and evolving customer needs," Sinha added.
