Nike Spec Ad
One player, one ball and an outdoor court still wet from the rain.
01 — The idea
No crowd. No arena.
A spec ad built around Nike's simplest line. Instead of a packed arena, an empty public court after the rain: the blue surface turns into a mirror, and every dribble lands with a splash.
The film stays low and close: laces being pulled tight, a sneaker resting on the ball, footwork in puddles. It ends where the brand always does: Just Do It.
Watch the spot — sound on

02 — Footwork
Ground level
Shot from the height of the ball, so the wet court fills the frame.
Pink socks, white shoes, orange ball
Three warm accents against a cold blue court.

03 — The player
Hood up, head down
Just Do It.
The crossover, wide
Reflections in the rain water
04 — Behind the scenes
A backpack crew
One camera, a gimbal, a tripod and a bench for a base. Small enough to move between showers and catch the court while it was still wet.
05 — Frames
Stills from the spot
Graded cool, with the warm accents left alone.
