Nike Took It To the Next Level
Nike Football. They have seriously outdone themselves. No joke. This is definitely the best commercial I have ever seen in my life. I don’t know how old it is, must be a week old at the most. I first saw it today after the glorious Manchester United win. Wow. I already had tears in my eyes (not kidding) and then this two-minute ad sent shivers all over my body. It’s such a simple idea. Very basic and straight to the point. It’s done so beautifully I just can’t stand it. I bet all the players featured and all the crew had a blast making this piece.
You don’t have to be a football lover to enjoy it. This video is 100% concentrated passion and inspiration. I’m a big fan of the NikeFootball videos and I download them all and watch them on my iPod when I’m out. This one seriously is amazing. I reeeeeeally hope they make a series out of this. They have to!
PLEASE enjoy it in HD. I have provided a download, I know it’s huge but it’s so worth the wait. Seeing it in shiteous quality on YouTube will ruin it for you. Even watching it on NikeFootball.com will be crappy because it will be choppy. So just download the video. You’ll love it.
Still gives me shivers. I wish I was a footballer.

Brilliant! I just love it!
much better than Adidas stupid ads!
Actually, It’s about the new Nike boot called “Nike Laser II”
but also, as you can see, they’re promoting the new national kits.
