Nike have just released the third installment of their #RiskEverything campaign, a five-minute animated short film that puts superstars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar Jr, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Franck Ribery, Andres Iniesta, David Luiz and a chunky Wayne Rooney (aka ‘The Originals’) up against a suave-scientist and a bunch of super efficient football clone kill-bots (aka ‘The Clones’).
“The idea behind ‘The Last Game’ is to show the world that Nike, like any true lover of football, believes that the game should be brilliant, daring and bold. Having the confidence to take risks is absolutely vital in football. Imagine a world without the brilliance of Cristiano Ronaldo, the acrobatics of Zlatan or the wizardry of Neymar.” said Nike’s Chief Marketing Officer, Davide Grasso.
So two of my favourite things in this world – animation and football have been put together into this amazing Pixar-esque short film and I absolutely love it! It’s as though ‘The Swoosh’ can do no wrong at the moment – bring on the World Cup, bring on all the fanfare and hyperbole, bring on the ridiculously late nights of watching matches from the UAE. Thanks Nike, I’m now pumped for what is set to be an amazing tournament!
