Nike launches "Brothers of the World"

Nike knows that football is something greater than just 22 people kicking a ball: it is culture, an obsession and a way to include people in a crew. This narrative is especially true in a city like Milan that is attracting people and communities from all over the country and the world. To celebrate the new vibe of the city Nike is launching the Brothers Of The World campaign, a philosophy that wants to narrate the new vibe of the most dynamic city in Italy in its most active period of the year, Milan Design Week. Nike’s storytelling will deepen on the crossover between football and street culture, all campaign will be articulated in various forms from workshops to exhibitions, short-movies and pick-up games. All these events will be centered on one football’s pivotal element: the jersey, the most iconic symbol of every football fan’s passion for the game, for their team, for their colors.

Brothers of the World video series

In a series of short-movies, Nike has asked some of Milan’s most iconic personalities from the world of sport, music and street culture -- Inter’s captain Mauro Icardi, the rapper Sfera Ebbasta, the Slam Jam’s team--  to interpret the expression “Brothers of the World”. We will publish the short movies on nss magazine, every day until the Design Week. Icardi, Sfera and Slam Jam have joined forces with the Swoosh to create exclusive football jerseys that will be available to the consumer for purchase.

The exhibition aims at celebrating the iconicity and continuous evolution of the Nike Football jersey – symbols not only of a football team but a fundamental parts of history.
