INSPIRATIONAL 2010 NIKE AD

22 July 2010 64 views 25 Comments

This was originally a Versus advert aired in 2009 however after many requests to remove the bull riding and hunting and make it…well…MORE inspirational, I decided to take it upon myself and get creative by putting a Nike spin on it. Of course I can’t take credit for the music or speech choice, that was put together by Radical Media…but I would love to hear your thoughts on what you think. Please rate and comment if you enjoy. For the fans as requested. Footage courtesy of Versus and Radical Media (thanks Pab), Wieden and Kennedy and Nike, Voice over courtesy of John Doman, Music courtesy of Explosions in the Sky.
Video Rating: 4 / 5

    They might be the favourite, they might be stronger, but when they’re competing against the American Olympic committee it means nothing…

    i’m a runner for life! this is what i think about when i run, whenever i play volleyball whenever i play any kind of sport. There’s more to it than a volleyball net, more to it than basketball, tennis racquet or anything like that. It’s about determination, it’s in our blood and in our hearts. When body is weary and ready to give up, i think of this. Thank you Nike!

    What a BS commercial. Those who will win are the most gifted naturally or are taking the most PEDS.

    slow mo knee to the head with pulver smiling afterwards should not have been taken out of it…nike athlete or not. bit ironic making a video about sports endurance, guts, and glory, and then editing an athlete out because he is not associated with a brand. great video otherwise.
