Timeless Ideas

Kordell Delivers

Brand: NikeAgency: Wieden+kennedy Portland1999FilmVideo · YouTube

The idea

Treat quarterback Kordell Stewart’s versatility as an impossible delivery service that can answer any situation.

Timeless principle

Turn a player’s distinctive skill into the structure of the joke.

Why it works

The premise exaggerates a real athletic truth until every new task becomes another proof of range. Personality and performance do the selling together. Nike makes product mythology from what the athlete uniquely can do.
