Hot Shots: Nimisha Sharma of Joint Studio Designs an Expansive Sneaker Store in Delhi, India

Red sandstone flooring reminiscent of Delhi’s forts, terra-cotta hued textured-plaster walls and ceilings, and amphitheater-like terraces under concentric rings of LEDs create a monumental yet sporty look for Superkicks, a 2,200-square-foot, two-level sneaker store. “We took inspiration from our own backyard, our own rich heritage and culture, to give the project a unique identity,” explains Nimisha Sharma, who has a master’s in interior design from the University of Florence, Italy, and founded her firm in 2016. Giant shoelaces, CNC-carved from wood and painted white, festoon the walls, tying up the concept with a witty flourish. jointstudio.in
