21 Creative Nike Ads!

I have been thinking of doing this post for sometime. Nike is a pioneer in coming up with the most creative ads. The ads that I’ll be posting are not from the classic video series, rather they are from print and hoarding. I have tried to categorize the ads that I pulled from the net. Also, these are very selective and by no chance a complete collection. Following is what Wikipedia [1. Wikipedia on Nike] talks of Nike.

Nike, Inc. (Pronounced Ny-key)(IPA: /naɪki/) (NYSE: NKE) is a major publicly traded sportswear and equipment supplier based in the United States. The company is headquartered in the Portland metropolitan area of Oregon, near Beaverton. It is the world’s leading supplier of athletic shoes and apparel^[2] and a major manufacturer of sports equipment with revenue in excess of $16 billion USD in 2007. As of 2008, it employed over 30,000 people world-wide. Nike and Precision Castparts are the only Fortune 500 companies headquartered in the state of Oregon.

4. I don’t know what to name this series, let me call it the Gymnast!

I love the whole graphic effect (Won’t be surprised if it’s done using Photoshop). I wasn’t sure of what this series is. If any of you have a clue on this please let me know.

5. Miscellaneous Creative and NFL

As the heading suggests this is a miscellaneous creative work of Nike along with some NFL stuff. If you were to ask me which one is my favorite of all these ads, I’d say it’d be Nike Penis. Also, Nike Pee ad has a great message.

I hope you like the post. Do drop in your comments.
