Wayne Rooney Plays Golf to Debut Nike’s New Soccer Ball
Posted in: Uncategorized
Adidas recently debuted its official FIFA World Cup 2014 ball with much fanfare, and now Nike presents its own brightly colored orb, the Ordem Football, in this charming film starring Wayne Rooney, one of the soccer pros who starred in the brand’s much-celebrated 2010 World Cup campaign “Write the Future.” Created in-house at Nike and produced out of Great Guns, the spot shows Mr. Rooney stepping out onto new turf — a golf course — and going head to head with pro golfer Rory McIlroy. For unfamiliar ground, the soccer athlete seemingly has impressive skills, even skipping the ball over a water trap.
Throughout, both players are pretty neck and neck — until the final shot is made — by none other than Brazilian soccer legend Ronaldo. Frank Sinatra’s classic “Straight Down the Middle” track adds even more lighthearted fun to the film.
