adidas has launched “Create your own game”, a commercial connecting the sports brand sponsorship of soccer stars with the emergence of amateur football. While everyone else is content with simply idolizing their sport heroes, the next wave of creators are busy creating their own game. Adidas empowers athletes to take their heroes off the pedestal and do their own thing.
Leo Messi’s brilliance and curling free kicks. Gareth Bale’s dribbling and unstoppable speed. Thomas Müller’s finishing and killer touch. James Rodríguez’s control and golden technique. Mesut Özil’s vision and perfect pass. That’s their game, but what’s yours? The game played on streets, pitches and parks across the world is about making your own impact, about seeing what you want and taking it. Learn how to play like your heroes, but then go out and create something new.
