In the spot, the cancellation sends shockwaves around the world and stocks plummet as fans go to great lengths to get their hands on the shoes. Directed by Walid Labri through the agency Division, ‘Rules the World’ sees fans cope with the cancellation by searching high and low for the shoes. Even the brand’s founder bids £100,000 for the trainers, while singer Jorja Smith and footballer Phil Foden also make an appearance, the latter recreating the crossbar challenge for the re-launched Joga TV. The real-life drop of the Air Max 95s is set to take place at a currently undisclosed location in London on Saturday, March 4.
