How We
Delivered a
At Chicago Fabrications, we’re no strangers to tight deadlines, and our recent project with Nike for a Foot Locker store in Chicago was no exception.
The Challenge
Nike reached out on July 3rd with a specific request:
-
Build custom display pedestals based on their design specs
-
Have them ready for installation by July 9th
-
Work within their branding vision using client-provided vinyl wraps
-
Deliver flawless craftsmanship with a tight 5-day turnaround
Time was short, expectations were high, and the display needed to be visually sharp for a high-profile product shoot.
Our Approach
We got to work immediately.
-
Our team quickly reviewed the specs, drafted a fabrication plan, and sourced materials the same day.
-
We built the custom pedestal boxes with precision, ensuring clean lines and smooth surfaces ready for vinyl application.
-
Each unit was fabricated to exact measurements, aligned with Nike’s retail aesthetic, and finished to meet professional display standards.
Despite the holiday week and condensed timeline, we delivered everything on schedule, just in time for their visual merchandising team to complete the final wrap and styling.
The Result
✔️ Custom-built pedestals
✔️ Delivered in just 5 days
✔️ Ready for use in a Nike Foot Locker product shoot
This project is a perfect example of what we do best:
-
Custom retail fabrication
-
Quick turnaround without sacrificing quality
-
Collaborative, deadline-driven execution
