Timeless principle

Give local truth the scale and swagger of a global campaign.

The idea

Let young London athletes continually one-up each other with the obstacles they overcome to play.

Why it works

Hyper-specific neighborhoods, jokes and cameos make the film feel owned by London rather than merely set there. Each boast escalates the next, creating relentless momentum. Nike celebrates grit without sanding away the city’s language or attitude.
