Nike Basketball Players Let Out Their Artistic Side in Colorful Ads

Basketball players let out their artistic side in these three ads from the advertising agency McCann Worldgroup in Hong Kong. The three images are all posters which were handmade by Nike Basketball League players. The posters also state that they are “one of 350 and no two are the same,” and that “each is a record of competitions among the players, each a paper battlefield.”

Take a look at the gallery above to witness the paper battlefield for yourself. In the words of Nike, “Just do it.”
