Just Do It


i love all Nike commercials because they really touch me, and in many ways they remind me of the important men in my life. my dad and brother are both really big Yankee fans and every time Derek Jeter appears in one, it reminds me of my family. i love how they have both celebrity athletes and children who are in the commercials.
the commercials really inspire me and motivate me to work harder and push myself to the limit. every time i see a Nike commercial i always get chills. they do a great job of displaying the athlete's heart and soul, even without saying any words. the actions and movements of the athlete say it all. like sports, the commercials are universal and everyone can relate to them. i love them and every time a commercial comes on i make sure to turn it up and watch closely!

i love nike commercials too - i think practically anyone who has ever competed in any sport can relate to the commercials. what do you think of the set of nike commercials targetted specifically to women?

I really like the new set of ads. I had not seen any until you showed them in class today, but I think they are "real", and women can relate to them. They are kind of like the dove commercials... saying how it's OK to have a woman's body. Not only are the models in the ads women, but they use feminine colors. I would stop to read the ads if I were flipping through a magazine; normally I wouldn't look at a Nike ad.
