Calvin Johnson (AKA “Calvin”) Handles Football. Diddy (AKA “Johnson”) Handles the Rest
Calvin Johnson is a superhuman wide receiver. His dedication to the game is trumped only by his relentless focus on getting faster. With every yard gained and every shattered record comes more fame, more distractions, and more demands. The spotlight is unavoidable.
Nike Football’s new “Calvin & Johnson” campaign brings Calvin Johnson’s personality to life by creating an alter ego that shoulders the demands allowing Calvin to stay focused. The films feature Calvin Johnson as “Calvin”, juxtaposed alongside his alter ego, “Johnson” played by music and entertainment icon Sean “Diddy” Combs.
“The concept is a lot of fun because I get to play myself – tunnel-visioned, focused and handling my business while ‘Johnson’ deals with everything else,” said Calvin Johnson.
Diddy, also at the top of his own career, appropriately plays Calvin’s far-fetched “alternate personality,” taking on the role of Johnson.
“My role as Johnson is to play Calvin’s alter-ego, handling all of his distractions so that he can focus on getting faster, scoring touchdowns and winning,” said Diddy.
The first film in the series, entitled “Calvin & Johnson,” debuted Tuesday, Sept. 3, 2013. The second film, “Speed Unleashed,” debuts Sunday, Sept. 8. The story will continue through an integrated digital and broadcast series including additional vignettes released throughout the season. The second spot features cameos by other NFL athletes including Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, Denver Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas, and Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson.
“This campaign is about removing the excess from the athlete’s mind and life so they can perform at a higher level,” said film director Stacy Wall from Imperial Woodpecker. “Calvin’s an amazing athlete but also extremely focused, and very humble. It’s easy to see why he performs at such a high level because he’s committed to what matters. This storyline brings that truth to life in a fun way.”
The creative campaign was developed in partnership with Portland-based independent advertising agency, Wieden+Kennedy.

New Nike Trail Footwear Designed To Provide Natural Motion Feel and Cross-Country Toughness
Inspiration for Nike’s fall 2013 trail collection came from our own backyard – the trails and terrain of Eastern Oregon. The birthplace of Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman, this rough and rugged landscape once served as the training ground for Bowerman’s University of Oregon Cross Country camps. Combining inspiration from this diverse landscape with insights gathered from years of work with these cross country athletes, Nike’s fall 2013 collection is a rebirth of trail footwear.
For the urban runner who usually pounds the pavement, the trail offers an adventure from the norm – a run that’s tough, beautiful, and unexplored. Nike’s fall 2013 collection features three new shoes that embody the thrill of the trail and equip the runner with the traction, natural motion and lightweight performance suited for any adventure.
NIKE FREE HYPERFEEL RUN TRAIL
The new Nike Free Hyperfeel Run Trail is created to intuitively move with the foot and is inspired by Nike’s “Nature Amplified” design ethos — an approach focused on the body in motion and informed by scientific data and athlete insights. The Nike Free Hyperfeel Run Trail delivers an ideal blend of natural motion flexibility and plush, responsive Lunarlon cushioning for unique ground awareness for a barefoot-like ride. The shoe’s distinctive shape wraps the foot, allowing it to bend and move with the natural terrain, adapting and gently deflecting the elements.
Nike Free-inspired articulated Lunarlon foam in the drop-in midsole enhances flexibility while providing lightweight resilient cushioning. This Lunarlon, combined with the thin rubber outsole, allows to toes to feel the ground, move naturally and grip the ground while remaining protected from the elements.
Thin web rubber in a trail-specific Waffle outsole is designed for increased flexibility, lightweight durability and excellent traction for a variety of surfaces. Outsole lugs are placed in an ascending pattern at the front of the shoe and a descending pattern at the back to improve grip when running up and downhill respectively. A pressure map on the Free Hyperfeel Run Trail illustrates areas where the outsole lugs are heavier for the high pressure areas.
A dynamic Nike Flyknit compression ankle collar provides a unique custom fit and allows the shoe to move with the runner as they traverse the uneven terrain of the trail. The collar also prevents rocks and debris from getting inside the shoe. Nike Flywire technology provides a secure midfoot lockdown, and a breathable mesh upper is rubberized in high-wear areas to protect the foot.
NIKE ZOOM TERRA KIGER
Named after the Kiger Mustang horse, known for its stamina, agility and sure-footedness, the Nike Zoom Terra Kiger is designed to fit like a track spike but perform like a trail shoe. The shoe features an anatomically rounded heel and low-profile, super-responsive Nike Zoom cushioning.
The shoe’s midsole is designed with a lower offset (4mm) – the amount the cushioning drops from heel to toe – which promotes a more natural range of motion and optimal stride. A co-molded midsole foam adds more protection and snap off the trail
The Zoom Terra Kiger has cross-country-inspired lugs that grip the ground for exceptional traction and durability on multiple surfaces. Sticky rubber on the center forefoot enhances traction in wet conditions. The shoe’s upper consists of engineered mesh for a lightweight single layer of durability and breathability. Dynamic Flywire technology integrate with the laces to tighten or loosen with the foot’s movements, offering an adaptive fit and added support.
NIKE ZOOM TERRA WILDHORSE
The Nike Zoom Terra Wildhorse was designed with lightweight comfort and stability allowing runners to tackle any trail. Nike Zoom air cushioning in the midsole delivers a responsive ride and added comfort through the miles, and Dynamic Fit technology provides low-profile impact protection and an adaptive fit on any surface.
The Nike Zoom Terra Wildhorse features a rounded heel and low-offset midsole to optimize the natural stride. A single layer mono mesh upper provides enhanced durability while the internal notched bootie system stretches to provide added comfort and support. Reflective elements stand out in low-light conditions.

Converse x Maison Martin Margiela Collection
Today, Converse Inc. announces its all-new collection with avant-garde French fashion house Maison Martin Margiela. The first-time Converse Maison Martin Margiela collaboration features the Chuck Taylor All Star and the Jack Purcell sneakers, each completely hand-painted in Maison Martin Margiela’s iconic white paint. Covering all canvas, eyelets, laces and soles, they naturally crack and shed their outer coat of paint to reveal the original colors beneath.
“Converse is thrilled to partner with Maison Martin Margiela. The collection perfectly embodies each brand’s spirit of individuality and self-expression unifying Converse and Margiela’s conviction of unleashing creativity,” says Matt Sleep, Converse Senior First String Designer.
Founded in 1988, Maison Martin Margiela is a fashion house which has always followed its own path, often outside the conventional fashion framework. Maison Martin Margiela’s collections are known for reinventing volumes, modifying shapes, and changing the original use and movement of garments, derailing the classic notions of fashion. Through recycling, transformation and reinterpretation, their identity aligns perfectly with Converse‘s philosophy of being a platform for creativity.
The personality of the Converse Maison Martin Margiela 1970s Chuck Taylor All Star and Jack Purcell sneakers is discovered through an evolving dialogue between the bold colored canvas and clean paint. The more the sneakers are worn, the more their personality and color is revealed. “The Maison has always been obsessed with white; it is used as a layer to give an incognito feeling. A sort of poetry, with the passage of time, the shoe asserts itself,” says Maison Martin Margiela.
The styles are available in four color ways based on heritage colors from the Converse archives: red, black, navy, and Margiela-exclusive vintage yellow, and are lined in premium off-white leather.
Converse First String is a limited-edition collection that celebrates craftsmanship, authenticity and collaboration at the highest level. The Converse Maison Martin Margiela sneakers will be available for purchase globally in September at Margiela stores, and at select Converse First String retailers for a suggested retail is $200USD/200€.
