adidas Takes Shot At Nike’s “Athlete” Slogan In New Ad

Walk into any Niketown around the world and you’ll most likely be greeted with a quote from Bill Bowerman. It reads: “If you have a body, you are an athlete”. Today, adidas launched “Sport Needs Creators”, which boldly states “if you call yourself an athlete, create something”. This video, which features the brand’s high profile athletes such as Aaron Rodgers, James Harden, Von Miller, and the newly signed Brandon Ingram, may be taking subtle shots at the old Nike saying. Check out the video ahead and judge for yourself.
