Nike

Nike football took over the fabulous Canning Town Library  for a week back in May of this year to dress the location as a mail distribution centre with X-Ray machines, conveyer belts and filing cabinets filled with footballs for a footballer to show off their skills throughout. This location is fanatically versatile, able to be dressed to fit whatever brief necessary having been a college, a prison visiting room and a hospital amongst other in the past. It is instantly recognisable in the Nike ad and provides the perfect backdrop to this fun-filled ad. Check it out below!
