For me, THIS is the BEST nike commercial ever...it symbolizes unity among other things and the music takes my breath away...wish it were available to buy...
This commercial is a very well done piece, the two things that always bug me is the guy dribbling, they devote 9 whole seconds to his acrobatic dribbling, if you dont believe me count it. Also i'm surprised that they didnt include handicapped/special olympic athletes or competitors. But i still adore this commercial. :D
I 100% agree with the special olympics ... what were they thinking? did I mention they won an Emmy for this?
The 9 secs for the guy dribbling could perhaps be due to basketball being a more popular sport than the other featured sports (at least here in the U.S.). Soccer had 6 secs, perhaps a reminded that it's less popular than basketball in the U.S.
Being an angry asshole over a commercial. Class. I will remember always to bow down to you and your superior intelligence and taste. Forgive my ignorance and inability to see what terrible videos I have been watching. You have changed my life tunariii. Forever will I remember your lessons of douchebaggery. I realize now that I am over it, tunariii. Thank you... thank you.
I don't think I said "this commercial sucks, 16:moments is better." I was just saying that they are similar. Plus, I didn't view those as moments to remember (getting a shot, kicking a ball, etc.) they're just moments of life. Reading a whiny, mine-is-better, angsty youtube comment is now one moment that can be checked off my list.
This commercial has always been so beautiful to me. It literally gives me chills. This is just pure talent whoever was the marketing genius behind it.
this is from 2002??!!!!! i thought this was from like 2008ish? guess they did replay it? or possibly stuck in my head for this long! this commerical is AMAZING!!! love you for posting it on here alanzob!!! :)
i love how at 1:29 the baby falls back onto cushions,just after the athlete falls back on the long jump, and at that instant the music transitions so the strings become more audible. It's beautiful work. I hand't seen this in 5 years and I still remembered it! It's that memorable, really.
Fuck!! Im getting out of here to ride my bike right NOW....!!!

Try the new Levi's commercial with Whitman's poetry. It's the same advertising company, though. Repeat awards?

i don't think it would be in poor taste or in poor business for Nike to run this again at the next olympics. It's absolutely mesmerizing.
