Welcome to Optimism

new work from the Wieden + Kennedy network

Some new work from around the W+K network.

JORDAN BRAND | MELO (From W+K New York)

To celebrate the launch of Carmelo Anthony's M8 NYC Flight, we wanted to showcase Melo's explosive game in his NYC home as an epic nighttime show on the Hudson River's Pier 54.

EA | BATTLEFIELD 3 (Portland)

Battlefield 3, the number one competitor to Call of Duty, is the biggest game launch in the history of Electronic Arts.

JORDAN BRAND | LOVE THE GAME (New York)
A lack of professional league play can’t keep Dwyane Wade, Chris Paul and Carmelo Anthony from getting in a run. They’re always down to find a way to play – anytime, anywhere, no matter what.

NIKE | SOME TIME TOGETHER (Sao Paulo + Portland)
Ultra-comfortable shoes mean longer runs. Really longer runs. But that doesn’t mean you have to miss any quality time with friends and family.

flux capacitor…fluxing!

Nike Back to the Future Shoe

Some more info, via cool-hunting site If It's Hip, It's Here, on Wieden + Kennedy Portland's 'Back for the Future' campaign with Nike for the Michael J. Fox Parkinson's Disease Foundation, as previously blogged about here.

To raise funds for Michael J. Fox's Foundation for Parkinson's Research, Nike designed 1500 pairs of shoes based on the kicks worn by Fox's character Marty McFly in the original movie, "Back To The Future" to be auctioned off on eBay and at select Niketown stores.

All of the shoes have now been auctioned off, but the two minute film featuring Bill Hader with Christopher Lloyd reprising his role as Dr. Emmett Brown is currently top of the viral charts, with nearly five million views so far.

I love these poster designs for the auction event, by Kate Gibb, Brent Rollins, La Boca and Will Sweeney.

Here's that short film again.

And here's a message from Michael J. Fox.
