Jakob and Sha'Carri make Nike's newest ad - You like it or not?

yeah of course I like it, why make the hobbyjoggers feel any more smug about themselves?

Kipchoge's at 1:21

Why did they have to go woke though with a ton of clips of wheelchair WNBA?

Not that great of an ad.

A lot of big stars in it as well as ones very few people would know.

Makes me happy I have Peacock without commercials so I don't have to watch this cr@p hundreds of times during the Olympics.

Jakob was arguably the cheekiest bugger in there.

Love to see it.

The excessive AI stresses me out

Well, it’s the perfect add to feature Jakob.

On one hand, I like how it’s addressing the way that certain “personality flaws” are common among top athletes—because these “flaws” can be beneficial in reaching the top. At the same time, I find the narrator’s refrain “Am I a bad person? Tell me, am I?” pretty dang annoying.

Man, what makes me the most sad about this admittedly well done add is that for a large percentage of society (across cultures) this will not be seen as the tongue-in-cheek celebration of Nike's statement of domination over the top tier of sport, but as a literal egotistical anthem encouraging the actual worst unspoken attitude of sport (and life) degenerates. we can all picture the athlete/coach from our past that i'm referring to.

Side note, notable choices of sports and athletes, and/or notable ABSENCE of sports and athletes. eg. golf, current tennis players, baseball, etc.

Liked it especially the clip of Jakob giving the stare down running past an opponent. I would've added Warholm and his antics of pumping his chest at the start line. It seems fitting and entertaining.

Warholm wouldn't be in a Nike commercial seeing as he's sponsored by Puma.

He runs for Puma

Nike ads have gone down hill, they used to be really good like this one:

I didn’t like the use of Kobe, as he obviously didn’t sign off on this and Lebron hasn’t won in a while.

I didn’t like the slogan either.
A holes are winners?

The Eric Cantina ad from the 2006 World Cup was the best ad Nike produced in their entire history. I highly doubt we'll ever see anything that could again. The Lance Armstrong eggs were pretty awesome but due to his elephant Grace I can no longer consider those great ads because I think Nike knew the whole time.

Even those slightly above mediocre Michael Jordan Nike ads don't come close.

Sure, nike rep, I'll go watch your ad for you.

Too many close-ups. Can't see the sports. Boring.

I think it comes off as someone whining about being an azhole in life and people noticing. I do not think that these athletes are that (largely) so the message feels off. They sacrifice a lot for their sport and there are many ways to spell that out without sounding like a douche. And the commercial is so repetitive I want to beat the guy to deth with his own arm.

That's obnoxious.

Beethoven would not approve
