Nike continues to shine a spotlight on emerging UK creative talent and the most recent effort is showcased in the form of the Pulse of London campaign. The brand works together with ten local creatives to star in the ad, highlighting the busy neighborhoods of London and the city's influence in their work. Neighborhoods include Hackey to Brixton as the creatives were tasked with the project of creating visual representations of the Nike Air Max Pulse through their lens.

Maddie Sellers displays her sustainable clothing company, and Nasreen and TJ Sawyerr go from north all the way to south London to highlight basketball and streetwear culture, to name a few.
