Jimmy Butler in a Jordan Brand campaign

A suite of films built around legacy, competition, and the people who keep Jordan culture moving forward.

The assignment

Turn product history into living culture.

To launch the “Shattered Backboard” colorway, the team produced an original film on location in Milan—uncovering the story behind one of Michael Jordan’s first games overseas and the impact it left on Italian basketball. The work expanded into portraits, archive stories, and athlete-led campaigns across the Jordan world.
