Created by Wieden + Kennedy and directed by Megaforce through Iconoclast, this soulful spot, titled Winning isn’t Comfortable is the second chapter of Nike’s Winning isn’t for Everyone work, extended through the lens of running.
The series will consist of four films - Morning, Joy, Stairs, and Sunshine, which is set to the iconic lullaby You Are My Sunshine by Christina Perri and features college basketball star JuJu Watkins.
The creative is based on true insights into a runner’s experience every time they lace up their shoes, juxtaposed with the feeling of elation as they push themselves beyond what they thought possible.
