Nike and Skype have launched new activations revolving around human faces. The online ‘Free Face’ game, which was kicked off by Nike in Japan, is designed to promote Nike iD, the brand’s branch which is focused on customization and adjusting to consumers’ preferences. The new digital Flash platform, developed by Wieden+Kennedy Tokyo, invites fans to give their faces a workout and (with the help of the web camera) put them next to Nike ID’s sneakers, which can easily mimic the facial expressions thanks to their flexible soles.
Nike has launched a new extension on its epic running story, which is revolving around jogging and people for whom is an essential part of their life. Following the series of spots with and about Alice, who is running all the time, the brand has released a 2:30 spot titled ‘I Would Run To You,’ a romantic story about two people in love, who live in different cities—she lives in California, he lives in New York—and run hundreds of miles to meet each other. The Nike Free Run+ 3 sneakers help make the run less stressful for the feet.
