It has come to our attention that the Tamil language text on one of the tee designs we originally featured in this article is an inaccurate translation of “just do it”. According to some Facebook comments, the design has since been revised and the Nike store at Jewel Changi Airport is now selling an updated version of the design in question. We are unable to confirm this, but have removed the original image from our article to prevent further confusion. We will update this article should we receive the corrected design from Nike.

The complex offers shopping, dining, a hotel and facilities that support airport operations. The integration of nature with engineering marvels housed under a striking glass and steel dome has made headlines all over the world.
