NikeDubai Tees, Vol. 2

The tee is the hero. The city is where it lives.

The problem

A city tee whose graphic carries the whole idea. Most city campaigns turn the city into a postcard and the product into a prop.

What I did · Creative direction

Dubai as co-star, never as backdrop.

The result

A city collection told from the inside, with the product readable in every frame.

The challenge

A city tee whose graphic carries the whole idea. Most city campaigns turn the city into a postcard and the product into a prop.

The thinking
Insight

The Dubai people recognise as home is the old town and the corniche, not the skyline on the postcard.

Strategic choice

Old Dubai, not new. The graphic on the chest leads every frame.

The idea

Dubai as co-star, never as backdrop.

The output

A cast from the city. Natural light by day, on-camera flash at night. Every frame works as a lifestyle image and as a product shot.
