The Atlantic Center Mall Nike store operates Monday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM, and Sunday from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Atlantic Center Mall has been part of Downtown Brooklyn’s retail scene for 20 years and benefits from proximity to major subway lines, the Long Island Rail Road, and the Barclays Center, making it accessible to shoppers from across the borough and beyond.

History of the Retail Space

The retail space now occupied by Nike has undergone multiple tenant changes over the past two decades. It was originally leased by OfficeMax, which later closed. H&M subsequently took over the location but operated there only briefly before closing its doors. Most recently, the space was occupied by Roller Wave, a pop-up roller skating venue and entertainment business, until Nike took over the lease.
