In the video, there’s an instantly evident orange Nike sneaker box that bursts open to unveil different Air Max styles in diverse colorways while revealing the inspiration behind each shoe. The sportswear giant also dropped hints about launching each pair exclusive to a specific region. Eagle-eyed viewers can also notice a cat’s paw swiping the box right at the end. What does that mean? Well, people familiar with the Shinjuku Cross might be aware of the infamous 3D calico cat, Nya who lives there.
Who is the muse?
The ad that revolves around mind-warping tech is installed on an incredible three-story-high 4K display to grab eyeballs. Created by Nanaka Sakurai, the studio manager and producer of Nike Japan, the 3D billboard project is a creative collaboration between Nike Tokoyo’s in-house brand creative studio.
