Nike x Brazil new stunning - and nostalgic - World Cup commercial
Inspired by the 1998 classic spot Nike's spot "Aeroporto"
June 4th, 2018
There's no tradition quite like Nike's Brazil World Cup commercial that comes out before a summer of competition. Nike Football kept the tradition alive for Russia 2018 with the new commercial Vai na Brasileiragem. The commercial that features Neymar, Willian, Coutinho and Thiago Silva refers to the Brazilian flair and style of play, with also the sense of revenge from the last World Cup when the Seleçao was humiliated by Germany in infamous Mineirazo.
The whole short movie was heavily inspired by the notorious commercial made by Nike for 1998 World Cup when a bored Seleçao - with Romario, Ronaldo and Roberto Carlos - decides to play street football in the Airport: the Ronaldo's cameo kicking a fake penalty during the queue is the clearest reference to it.
