Los Angeles, Calif. - LA design/production studio Elastic and 180LA (180 / TWBA) partnered to create a new Web spot launched on
http://www.adidasbasketball.com and the Adidas Basketball
YouTube Channel (
http://www.youtube.com/adidasbasketball). For the spot, Adidas brings
together two players known for being among the most stylish and
expressive on the court, Derrick Rose (D. Rose) and Kevin Garnett (KG).
Centered around the Equation -- being touted as the most customizable, expressive shoe on the streets -- "Lesson In Style" gives both NBA stars a forum to talk about how they bring their "game" off the court as well, by presenting a conversation expressing both the attitude of the adidas brand and some light-hearted trash talking, as a more experienced KG schools D. Rose on style.
"Lesson In Style" was created by the same creative team that brought adidas' "It's on Me for We" campaign to life, including Creative Directors Grant Holland and Gavin Milner from 180LA (180 / TWBA), and Elastic, where this time, Andy Hall directed the fully animated spot. Our full credit list appears below.
