For the 2024 UEFA European Football Championship, Nike explored the minds of the world’s greatest footballers, and the mad lengths they go to for footballing brilliance. From cryochambers to eating cow hearts, obsessing one skill to training sessions that would make us mere mortals shudder, these athletes have unleashed something that lies in all of us waiting to be awoken: a little madness.
In this session, a team of star players will take the stage together to go behind the work: Nike VP Brand Creative Jordi Pont, W+K’s Becca Pottinger, and director Sam Pilling.
