As one of Nike&#8217;s primary sneaker boutique locations, 21 Mercer was the go-to spot for Swoosh block parties, brand activations, and launches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being that Nike SoHo opened nearby in 2016, the 21 Mercer location became second choice for Nike shoppers, ultimately losing its dominant popularity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While few details about the closure have been made public, it&#8217;s been reported that the closure coincides with Nike&#8217;s lease expiration for 21 Mercer. Future activations and parties will continue to pop-up around New York City. Nike is encouraging all of the 21 Mercer employees to stay on staff by applying for other roles at Nike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more <a href=\"\/news\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sneaker news<\/a> and <a href=\"\/sneaker-release-dates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">release dates<\/a>, follow <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nicekicks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@NiceKicks<\/a> on Twitter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Lead image by Billy Farrell\/Patrick Mcmullan\/Getty Images) It&#8217;s the end of an era for NikeLab 21 Mercer in New York&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":328355,"featured_media":1156554,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,1224791],"tags":[],"cultivate_rss":[],"class_list":{"2":"type-post"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.0 (Yoast SEO v24.0) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>NikeLab 21 Mercer To Close | Snkrs Day<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The NikeLab 21 Mercer in NYC&#039;s SoHo is closing.
