Nike's "The Pulse Of London" Campaign Celebrates the City's Creative Disruption
Ten visionaries capture what the model means to them.
Nike continues championing UK creative talent across country-wide borders, using the Air Max Pulse as its canvas. The footwear titan recently enlisted rising London-based musicians Jeshi and Nia Archives for its debut. Now, Nike taps ten local visionaries to star in its “The Pulse Of London” campaign.
British innovators tour London’s busy neighborhoods and demonstrate the city’s influence on their craft, rocking the new silhouette which similarly breaks boundaries. The campaign spotlights the next generation of Air enthusiasts through immersive shots that reflect their cultural postcodes.
From Hackney to Brixton, they were tasked to create visual representations of the Nike Air Max Pulse and do so through artistic lenses.
