Ad of the Day: Nike - Short A Guy
The concept of timeout doesn't apply in this exhilarating ad for Nike. A skate down the street leads one athletic kid to become the extra man for one team sport after another. Lucky to catch his breath, he's kitted up and ready to go in a flash.
It's a pulsating effort from all involved with top editing making this one seamless workout. The ad also wrestles the Trashmen's 'Surfin' Bird' from Peter Griffin's hands to provide the ideal score to this youngster's hectic day.
