College Lacrosse NILs

The Swoosh Has Spoken

Plan a shoot for the biggest names from the biggest schools wearing the biggest brand? No problem. Nike Lacrosse was rolling out a string of new products and wanted to showcase them in a brand appropriate way—by marrying performance and lifestyle with an unmistakably Nike aesthetic. The strictly organic posting strategy intended to create more authentic connections between the brand and lax community. In short, it had to feel real. It had to BE real.

Keeping It Real

Over the course of several on-location and in-studio photo shoots, we captured Nike athletes in their element. The result was a collection of dynamic creative assets that simultaneously felt premium and raw. Short clips of on-field moves, crisp stills in front of vibrant backdrops, and in-the-wild photography hit Nike’s Instagram grid and were met quickly with praise and plenty of 🔥 emojis.
