New Balance & Foot Locker to Open 90’s Experiential Pop-Up in L.A.; To Feature 'Double Dare' Photo Op and SNICK Lounge

In celebration of the global launch of the New Balance X-90 Knit, a sneaker that combines the best of the 90s with 2018 street style, Foot Locker and New Balance have announce their plans to open a “Rewind to the 90s” Pop-Up Shop in Los Angeles, California. The experiential Foot Locker store, located at 939 Studio, will be free and open to the public daily from 12-7 p.m. from Aug. 10-14, 2018.


Designed by Stadium Status Group to be a fully immersive experience, the pop-up will take its visitors back in time to interact with decade-relevant products, music, TV and fashion. The series of themed spaces include a Nickelodeon Double Dare photo opportunity, a SNICK Lounge, a Koosh ball pit, and a throwback bedroom. Visitors of the 90’s pop up will have the unique opportunity to step inside a capture studio and be transformed into holograms. Upon exiting the room, each guest will be able to view their 90’s themed hologram projected into custom-designed holographic displays.

“New Balance’s newest model, the X-90, is a great opportunity for Foot Locker to nostalgically immerse our LA consumers into the decade,” said Patrick Walsh, VP of Marketing for Foot Locker North America. “The pop-up is not only a store but an experiential space, reminiscent of 90s youth culture.”

The featured New Balance X-90 Knit ($100) was inspired by the classic 99x series and fuses sport with style, making it disruptive and yet true to New Balance’s classic look. The pop-up will also offer a variety of other New Balance products, including an exclusive, early-release of the X-90 Recon ($110), in advance of the Sept. 1 global release date.

“We saw the X-90 launch as a huge opportunity to not only showcase New Balance’s authentic heritage through a new silhouette, but tap into a cultural phenomenon with a strong, global partner,” said Chris Davis, VP Global Marketing, New Balance. “Foot Locker helped bring the ‘Rewind to the 90’s’ experience to life with their unique point-of-view, pulse on culture, and strong brand identity.”

Kira Kosarin Talks Growing Up After 'The Thundermans' on Instagram

Kira Kosarin has spent much of her life growing up in front of the camera. However, she wants fans to remember that she's no longer the same person she was when they first tuned into The Thundermans five years ago — and that she needs space to establish her identity as an individual.


On Friday, August 3, the Nickelodeon star addressed some of the hurtful and disrespectful social media comments that she has received. "A lot of people have expressed concern about me posting more mature material, given the influence I have with young children," she captioned an Instagram selfie. "Honestly, I’m not mad about it. I love that you guys care enough to see me as a role model and want me to continue to carry that title. I do, however, feel the need to explain myself."

She continued, reminding others that The Thundermans has finished production, stressing the importance that she deserves room to grow as a person. "As a young woman living in 2018, I’m passionate about embracing my confidence, sexuality, and power, and encouraging young [people] to do the same," she wrote. "Sure, there will always be new young people finding the show, which is great. But I’m also lucky enough to have fans who have grown up with me, and are ready for a more mature outlook on life. I still preach the importance of supporting and raising up those around you, approaching the world with kindness and understanding, being driven and passionate about any and every endeavor, being loving and accepting of every minority group, being educated and active in issues of systemic oppression, and attempting to bring a little light to the word whenever possible."



Kira closed the post with an important question for fans to consider, writing: "Does doing this in shorts and heels make me any less of a role model?"

The post has clearly resonated with fans, many of whom have left their words of support. "We all change, we all grow older and more mature," one follower commented on her Instagram. Others shared their appreciation for the comments on Twitter, writing, "Very well said. Can’t wait to see what the future brings you," and: "You're still a great role model to people like me just keep doing what you do best and we'll continue to support you on everything you do no matter what."

The comments from Kira definitely raise a valid point regarding sexuality and growing up. Celebrities may live their life in a very public eye, but fans have to remember that their favorite stars are people, too. And even though Kira started out her career at a much younger age, she still deserves space to grow and establish her identity — just like all the rest of us, too.

“she’s such a slut now” “what happened to Phoebe” “this isn’t really appropriate for little kids” “doesn’t she know children follow her?” ———————— Hi guys. A lot of people have expressed concern about me posting more mature material, given the influence I have with young children. Honestly, I’m not mad about it. I love that you guys care enough to see me as a role model and want me to continue to carry that title. I do, however, feel the need to explain myself. ———— Yes, I was on a children’s tv show, but I’m not anymore. I’ve spent the last five years trying to be a good role model for little kids and, as amazing as that’s been, I have to let myself grow up, and I have to let myself grow in my career. As a young woman living in 2018, I’m passionate about embracing my confidence, sexuality, and power, and encouraging young girls (and boys!) to do the same. Sure, there will always be new young people finding the show, which is great. But I’m also lucky enough to have fans who have grown up with me, and are ready for a more mature outlook on life. I still preach the importance of supporting and raising up those around you, approaching the world with kindness and understanding, being driven and passionate about any and every endeavor, being loving and accepting of every minority group, being educated and active in issues of systemic oppression, and attempting to bring a little light to the word whenever possible. Does doing this in shorts and heels make me any less of a role model? ————— I love you guys. Thank you for allowing me to grow up. Thank you for coming on this journey with me. Phoebe will always be a part of me, but it’s time for Kira to step up and live her life the way she wants to. ❤️

Although The Thundermans has finished production, Kira won't be off our screens for long. Eagle eyed fans recently spotted the Thundermans star in the background of Sherry Cola‘s Instagram Stories. Kira will be popping up in Freeform’s new series, Good Trouble, when it debuts in 2019. Kira will be playing Aria, a free-spirited young woman who visits a resident at The Coterie. Currently, Kira is only slated for one episode, but we’re hoping it turns into more. Good Trouble centers on Callie (Maia Mitchell) and Mariana (Cierra Ramirez) as they embark on the next phase of their young adult lives in LA.

Below is Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) Italia's official press release announced the exciting news:

PER VIACOM ITALIA GRANDI RISULTATI ESTIVI

DI ASCOLTO E GRADIMENTO

IN ATTESA DELLE NOVITA’ EDITORIALI IN ARRIVO CON L’AUTUNNO


Ottimi ascolti sia sul DTT che sulla pay con

quasi 36 milioni di contatti e 2,6% di share media sul giorno commerciale


Storytellers con Jovanotti su VH1 vola con 1.8 milioni pari all’1,25% di share

Maigret su Paramount Channel sfiora i 4 milioni di contatti pari al 2,26% share

Ottimo debutto di Bellator su Spike con lo 0,72% di share


Viacom conferma il suo trend positivo in termini di ascolti su entrambe le piattaforme di trasmissione, Paramount, Spike, Vh1 sul DTT e MTV, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon su Sky.

Con il suo portfolio di canali proprietari ed in joint-venture, nel mese di luglio 2018 ha contattato quasi 36 milioni di persone ed ha ottenuto una share media del 2,6%, confermandosi sesto editore in Italia nonostante la forte competizione soprattutto legata ai grandi eventi sportivi.

In questa prima metà dell’estate i canali Viacom hanno inaugurato l’estate con la celebrazione delle icone per ciascuno: dal mondo della televisione, del cinema a quello della musica e dei bambini.

In particolare, ottimi sono stati i risultati di luglio per Paramount Channel (canale 27 del dtt), che ha registrato una media di 105mila spettatori e una share superiore all’1% sul totale individui, che sale all’1,53% sul prezioso target delle donne 25-54enni e con una crescita annuale su quest’ultimo target del +22%.

In particolare i quattro episodi di Maigret, mini-serie di film TV inedita che ha come protagonista assoluto e particolarmente apprezzato dalla critica un Rowan Atkinson in vesti completamente inedite, hanno creato un forte legame con gli amanti delle serie e delle storie di Paramount Channel, raggiungendo 3.7 milioni di persone ed ottenuto un ascolto medio con il 2,26% share, del 2,7% di share sulle donne 15+. Grazie a questi risultati Paramount Channel è stato primo canale nativo digitale tematico durante lo slot di messa in onda per questo specifico target.

Su Spike (canale 49 del dtt), il canale a target maschile di Viacom Italia, è andato in onda un evento di forte richiamo per il target di riferimento: alcuni tra i match di ‘Bellator’, il grande show americano di MMA e KICKBOXING andato in scena al Centrale del Foro Italico di Roma e trasmesso in esclusiva nazionale da Spike, hanno creato un vero e proprio appuntamento per gli appassionati dell’MMA, raggiungendo una share dello 0,72%, che sale all’1,24% sugli uomini 25-54enni, con una crescita del +21% rispetto allo slot delle 3 settimane precedenti.

Ma luglio per Viacom Italia è stato il mese di Jovanotti: il simulcast sui canali free to air del gruppo Viacom (Vh1, Paramount Channel e Spike) di ‘VH1 Storytellers con Jovanotti’, la produzione originale ed unica di Viacom Italia, ha raggiunto 1.8 milioni di persone ed ha ottenuto una share dell’1,25%. Performance ottimizzate sul prezioso target delle donne 25-54enni con il 2% share e lo show secondo programma su reti digitali tematiche per questo specifico target. Il riscontro positivo ha raggiunto una dimensione a 360° gradi anche sui social: oltre 4000 interazioni totali su Facebook, Twitter e Instagram, hanno portato “VH1 Storytellers con Jovanotti’ ad essere il secondo programma più commentato sui social nella serata di domenica 29 luglio (esclusi eventi sportivi). Solo su Vh1 (canale 67 del dtt) lo show ha portato il canale a superare del +75% la share media rispetto ai 4 weekend precedenti.

Molto positivi anche i risultati del canale Super! (canale 47 del dtt) la joint-venture di De Agostini e Viacom Italia A luglio il canale si conferma il primo canale kids del digitale terrestre sul target bambini 4-14 registrando un ascolto di 58 mila bambini e una share del 7,7%, con una crescita del +7,6% rispetto al mese di giugno (pari a oltre mezzo punto di SHR%). Particolarmente rilevante la prova dei prodotti Nickelodeon, tra i quali si segnala ‘I’m Franky’ che ha raggiunto un picco di 136mila bambini 4-14 (12% Share) e ha portato Super! ad essere il #1 canale nazionale su questo specifico target durante lo slot di messa in onda.

Gli ottimi risultati dei brand di Viacom Italia sono arrivati anche dai canali distribuiti in esclusiva su Sky.

MTV (canale 130 di Sky) si conferma il #1 canale tematico di intrattenimento sui social, con una fanbase totale di 4 Milioni su tutti i suoi profili ufficiali (Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Instagram). Il sito di MTV ha raggiunto 4.5 milioni di utenti unici e oltre 11.3 milioni di pagine viste, con un consumo video di 718mila views in crescita del +16% rispetto al mese di giugno.

Comedy Central (canale 128 di Sky) si è riconfermato anche a luglio il primo canale di editori indipendenti all’interno dell’area intrattenimento Sky sul target dei 25-54 pay con una share dello 0,54%, grazie alla variegata offerta comica, che spazia dagli stand up alle serie comedy più iconiche e al Comedy Central Tour 2018, partito sul canale da lunedì 16 luglio e che terrà compagnia tutti i lunedì d’estate.

Infine, l’offerta KIDS targata Nickelodeon si conferma come la più apprezzata dai bambini all’interno del pacchetto kids di SKY, con una share media del 7,4% sui bambini 4-14 pay.

Nick Jr (canale 603 di Sky) rimane leader tra i canali prescolari esclusivi di Sky, con una share del 2,6% sui bambini 4-14 pay e una crescita del +18% rispetto al mese di giugno, mentre Nickelodeon (canale 605 di Sky) ha ottenuto una crescita del +16% rispetto a giugno con una share del 4,8% sui kids pay, grazie anche agli ottimi risultati della live action ‘Henry Danger’ che ha raggiunto una straordinaria performance nella mattinata del 31 Luglio con 36mila bambini pay, attestandosi come primo programma nazionale per i bambini pay durante lo slot di messa in onda.

Questi ottimi risultati confermano, quindi, le ottime scelte editoriali. Tutti i brand stanno ora preparando grandi novità per i propri spettatori in arrivo con l’autunno a cominciare dall’immancabile “back to school” dei canali kids e della programmazione di Paramount Channel con prime tv sul digitale terrestre già dai primi giorni di settembre.

“Siamo davvero molto soddisfatti dei risultati dei nostri brand – Sergio Del Prete, VP Editorial Brand Viacom Italia - Questi successi sono il frutto di strategie e scelte editoriali ben pensate per le diverse piattaforme e i diversi target dei nostri canali che ci permettono di essere sempre in sintonia con i gusti e le richieste del nostro pubblico. Per tutti, abbiamo in serbo delle belle novità per l’autunno!”
