Consumer Journey
 In 2012, a Queens man posted a Craigslist ad offering to trade his Chevy Cavalier—full tank of gas included—for a pair of Nike Air Foamposite One “Galaxy” sneakers. That out-of-this-world move got us thinking: What would you be willing to trade for a pair of Galaxy Foamposites?

We teamed up with TAKOUT in the Bronx, NY, to create a one-day trading post where consumers could swap (almost) anything for a pair of Foams.

Guerilla flyers, strategically plastered across the city, ignited buzz that quickly spread, gaining organic traction from word-of-mouth to streetwear media outlets. The hype was real; people stood out in the snow, waiting for their turn to trade. Now that’s commitment.
