I think it is fantastic that when the names change on the back of the shirt it ends with a change from Cruyff to Martens.

My favorite is Busquet’s turn synced with a skateboard turn

This is lit, but I wouldn't expect a Nike ad to be shit.

Love how the squarish video style matches the architecture of Barcelona from above

This was a nice celebration of the city; the squared lay-out, Francino doing the narration, Rosalía singing, that famous skateboarder... lots of nice touches.

Nike is literally the world standard of high quality marketing. Their art direction and creatives are some of the best in the world.

Yup. But nowadays it's just repetitive boring trash imo :(

United's kit is probably the best this season, with that collar...

There is a beautiful shot at 0:46 where you can see at the same time Sant Jordi killing the dragon, part of the blaugrana shirt, the Senyera and in the middle of it all a rose opening its petals inside the crest.

Damn never seen Messi in a Nike clip before.. even if it’s just a quick glimpse I think this is the first time

It’s probably a body double, i think he’s contractually obligated not to appear in their ads but correct me if i’m wrong.

Yeah after rewatching I think so too

Its very cool, i like the way its edited. Dont know how to describe it but i really like the way the squares change and interact with the others, like the busquets scene with the skateboard thing.

I am a big fan of Nike ads, but that ad just gave me a headache big time.
