1.Nike "Boom"Ad
Nike has made some of the most epic sports related ads there are. Love the one above just for it's visual appeal.
Lance Armstrong battled back from cancer to be the most legendary sports figure of our time. Perhaps we don't realize how tough one who is plagued with a medical condition has to work to get back to their original form after going through extensive chemotherapy, radiation, and/or intensive open surgery. Lance Armstrong was given a negative prognosis at first after having testicular cancer that eventually spread to his abdomen, lungs, and brain. Not only did he beat the critics to survive, but he won the Tour De France 3 years after his surgery and continued to win from 1999 to 2005. Lance Armstrong is the absolute leader of today's modern sports era and we should all pay tribute to this man for a very long time for what he did out there on the road and to the millions of people that he inspired through leading by example.
3. Charles Barkley "I am not a role model" Nike Air Commercial
Further Barkley gem: "I don’t believe professional athletes should be role models. I believe parents should be role models…. It’s not like it was when I was growing up. My mom and my grandmother told me how it was going to be. If I didn’t like it, they said, “Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on your way out.” Parents have to take better control."
4. Nike Women - Body by dance
This ad makes fun of lipo-suction. No matter how perfect you think someone is, there is something they are insecure about. The ad is aimed at South American girls who are taking recourse to plastic surgery to achieve "perfection", whatever that is. It is indeed very well done. The music is "Suda El Jamon" by Debi Nova.
5. Sharapova Ad "She's so pretty"
Brilliant ad featuring Sharapova. Being pretty ain't got nothing to do with them titles.
6. American Legend Steve Prefontaine
The Steve Prefontaine story was what fired Nike's ad imagery in it's early days. This is one of my favourites.
Will put up more in another post later on when I get more time :)
