Experience the Force of the league’s most dominating players. The concept of this feature was that each player’s powers come from a mind-body connection. This connection creates a larger-than-life Force of Nature controlling the wind, rain and other elements, with the potential to destroy anything in their path. Each player’s interactive poster features three interdependent components: MIND: How they infuse the Force-style into their mental game. BODY: Dominating on-court. SOLE: Elemental product features.

Nike Basketball: Vince Carter & the Shox VCIV
January 15th, 2005
The Nike Shox VC IV feature on Nikebasketball.com acts as an extension of the print advertisement, showcasing Vince Carter as Captain Carter, a pilot with Nike Flight airlines. Using the travel aesthetic, we created a virtual airport with Vince’s new shoe, the Nike Shox VC IV, as a featured aircraft. The airport was a perfect fit because it is easily expandable for later use with future Nike Flight footwear. For the VC IV feature we collaborated with Honest to create a pre-flight safety video with Vince playfully narrating the features of his shoe. The video was so successful that the Nike retail network began showing it in Niketown stores and it was also used in displays at Foot Action stores. The Nike Shox VC IV feature brings the potential of the existing Vince Carter print ad to life, expanding upon its concepts and building upon it in a versatile virtual setting.

Nike Basketball: LeBron James in Chamber of Fear
November 1st, 2004
Television commercials and print ads show LeBron James traveling through the Chamber of Fear attempting to overcome five of his greatest fears. For the feature on Nikebasketball.com, we created a full digital version of the Chamber, both inside and out, integrating the print advertisements as downloadable wallpapers. Inside the Chamber, visitors were able to watch the five television commercials as well as the complete 90 second spot. We also created an interactive game with players assuming the role of LeBron’s character, The Chosen One, and venturing through each level of the Chamber. Upon completion, they register to receive a LeBron prize pack which includes an R/GA-designed poster based on the website’s Chamber of Fear artwork. The feature on Nikebasketball.com served as a central hub for the Chamber of Fear campaign, uniting all of the different forms of media in an immersive, interactive experience.
