Everyday athletes find their inner strength

Nike was increasingly being seen as a brand dominated by professional athletes and their feats of greatness. We wanted to return the brand communication towards the power of the everyday athlete.

From this insight, we created a series of powerful ads inspiring people to push their limits in their respective sport. Working with Finnish photographer Markku Lahdesmaki, each image captures the mindset of the athlete's road to becoming their personal best.
