Foot Locker launches “12 Days of Greatness”

(New effort from BBDO NY and Footlocker)

Just in time for last night’s Draft, Foot Locker is launched its basketball-inspired holiday shopping experience, “12 Days of Greatness.” The campaign launches with a cheeky spot titled, “The Worst Kept Secret” featuring a noteworthy cast of respected designers and culture-makers celebrating their love of the game.

Collaborating with some of the biggest names in streetwear, sneaker and basketball culture – including Wairare Boswell, Don C, Melody Ehsani, Montrezl Harrell, Kyle Kuzma, Sami Miro, PJ Tucker and Rhuigi Villaseñor – presents a unique set of challenges, as their products and collaborations are highly coveted. “The Worst Kept Secret,” directed by Director X, illustrates the great lengths the designers went through to keep 12 Days of Greatness a covert project…up until now.

The work debuts across Foot Locker’s social channels and was created with agency partner BBDO NY. Watch below:
