Nike makes commercials that show the products, but also make the athlete wearing the products the key point in the commercial. In Nike’s commercial from February, 2017, sports are shown from a different perspective. Nike shows professional athletes as well as everyday people. The commercial says that in between the lines of a field or court one is distinct from his or her actions, not by his or her religion, looks, or where he or she lives.

Nike made the entire commercial in black and white. The main point Nike made was that race does not matter, it is all about how one plays the game.

The Nike commercial starts out in a white and black screen color with an ominous white noise in the background creating a suspenseful feel to the commercial. The lack of colors oddly creates a dynamic experience. The camera is focused on an urban neighborhood while street lights bounce off the sides of houses. As the camera continues to show neighborhoods and run down basketball courts and large scale building’s reaching high into the pitch black night sky, a piano is heard in the background while an image of basketball player is shown in his snow white jersey with USA in cherry red plastered across his chest and above is the American flag.

Nike began as Phil Knight’s semester-long project to develop a small business, which included a marketing plan. This project was part of Phil Knight’s MBA course at Stanford University in the early 1960s. Phil Knight had been a runner at the University of Oregon in the late 1950s.
