Nike turns old church into "Just Do It Headquarters."

The Church of the Epiphany in Chicago, located on the 200 block of South Ashland, recently got a full transformation courtesy of Nike. The church, which has been around since 1855, shut down in 2011 but The Swoosh recently stepped in to renovate the space into a fully functional training facility open to local high school hoops teams throughout the month of August.

Now dubbed the “Just Do It HQ at The Church,” the incredible facility is decked out with custom stained glass windows, locker rooms, and weight rooms, as well as a full length basketball court. According to ABC7 Chicago, Chicago Bulls legend Scottie Pippen recently stopped by and shared some words of wisdom with athletes in attendance at the Just Do It HQ.

If you're in the Chicago area, you can register to hoop at the Just Do It HQ here.

Take a look inside the venue in the videos embedded below.
