Project: Behind the Design: Sabrina 2
Client: Nike
Agency: In-house
As part of the rollout for each new signature shoe, Nike releases “Behind the Design“ content that breaks down the technical features of the shoe and the inspiration behind them. For the launch of the Sabrina 2, we enlisted the internet’s favorite comedian Druski as the unoffical “Sabrina expert” and paired him up with the real-life Nike shoe designer Ben Nethongkome. Together, they brainstormed some innovative new features for the shoe. You can decide who did all the work.
We cut a couple short teasers to promote the film.
