🌱 “Rooted in Greatness” — A Nike Spec Ad Concept
This concept started as a personal exploration. A chance to merge storytelling, symbolism, and visual world building into something that felt alive.
Using Milwaukee as the backdrop was instinctive. It’s not just Giannis’ team, it’s his story. The city and its deer symbolism are part of his identity. 🦌
👟 The Nike Freak 7 becomes more than a basketball shoe here. It speaks to athletes and dreamers who see their own journey reflected in Giannis’ humble beginnings, unstoppable growth, and a legacy built from the ground up.
