This summer, Adidas opened a 3,000-square-foot flagship store in Lekki, Lagos, with a bang. The event featured live music, a firework display and work by Nigerian artist Osoranna Mojekwu. Attendees included the deputy governor of Lagos State, Dr. Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, as well as Nigerian influencers and musicians such as Ladipo Eso. For Adidas, it was a statement of intent — signaling the growing opportunity for international brands in Nigeria’s largest city.
