Andre Agassi Special

Everybody knows Andre Agassi. I really admire that guy, he was one of the best in his sports. He had special style. I mean:
- style of playing
- style of outfits (he loved neon colours- as you can see)
- especially his hairstyling (haha)

He was Nike from 1988 to 2005 (nowadays he is Adidas).
In his book "Open"(2009) he revealed his drugs period of life. In 1997 he was taking hard drugs like crystal meth (speed):

“There is a moment of regret, followed by vast sadness. Then comes a tidal wave of euphoria that sweeps away every negative thought in my head. I’ve never felt so alive, so hopeful — and I’ve never felt such energy.

“I’m seized by a desperate desire to clean. I go tearing around my house, cleaning it from top to bottom. I dust the furniture. I scour the tub. I make the beds.”

Nike and the Women

I read couple of articles about this topic and I was really surprised, how fascinating the whole story from problem to solution (not just campaign or campaigns) really was.

Background:

'Nike is for men, not women'

At the beginning Nike wasn’t focused on the female at all. For most of its history the company has been all about men. In 1990 the women's sub-brand was launched and the really huge market was openned.

What is more, I call it „Nike spirit“ (practise- sweat-n-blood makes fun) was in general absolutely anti-female-thinking.

They dropped aggression and conflict as the main appeal and focused on equality and pure sport spirit.

Art of storytelling supported by new role models:

young, active, attractive women, which are frustrated by underestimating

(“Dance is NOT sport” said Male)

mainly un-known newcomers ( no using just famous celebrities, by whose is segment over feeded)
sport activities: dance, fitness, box, soccer, running, tennis

Hyperdunk campaign

One of my favourite campaigns from last year.
Controversial with clear message.

Controversial:
The problem was: “Are these Nike ads homophobic?”
Maybe, but I don’t know, I am hetero and I think these are ok, but if I was a homosexual… dunno.

Clear message:
It is about abasement in basketball "the athletic feat of dunking on the opposition."
With new Nike Hyperdunk you will dunk and humble your opponent easier.
And that’s it!

But these have been pulled, whatever and enjoy!

Agency:
Wieden Kennedy, 2008
