Nike — Take the Leap

Speculative launch study • Narrative launch

The Moment

This concept explored Nike not as a product brand, but as a catalyst for decision.

The risk wasn’t performance.
It was the moment before action.

The Force

Self-doubt was externalized, fragmented into pursuing silhouettes.

The protagonist remained deliberately vague, allowing viewers to project themselves into the story.

The conflict wasn’t competition.
It was hesitation, the only barrier that matters at scale.

The Launch Expression

This concept treats hesitation as the true antagonist.

The film begins underwater — falling, weightless, disoriented.

The protagonist runs through shifting environments, chased by inner selves.
Intercut sequences show training, strain, repetition.

At the midpoint, motion stops.
A pause. Reflection. A mirror shatters.

The final act cross-cuts decisive moments:

  • a basketball dunk
  • a football strike
  • a leap into open space

The film ends on one line:

Take the leap.
Just Do It.

Why this Mattered

The campaign doesn’t introduce a product.
It introduces a state of mind.

As a launch concept, it reframes Nike around the psychology of choice — establishing belief before instruction.

Every launch chooses what to reveal, and what to withhold.
