Nike is reintroducing “Just Do It” to a new generation with the launch of its latest campaign, “Why Do It?”
Designed to connect with young athletes where they are, the campaign from Wieden+Kennedy Portland reframes greatness as a choice, not an outcome–handing “Just Do It” to today’s generation and emboldening them to write the next chapter.
Voiced by Tyler, the Creator and helmed by Iconoclast directors Vania & Muggia, this anthem film features a vivid tapestry of athletes, capturing the rhythm of modern ambition: movement shaped by passion, competition reimagined as collaboration and the courage to show up authentically in every moment.
By honoring the past and celebrating today’s untamed spirit, “Why Do It?” empowers young athletes to become part of a legacy–one written by those who answer the call, choose to begin and never stop moving forward.
“‘Just Do It’ isn’t just a slogan — it’s a spirit that lives in every heartbeat of sport. It’s the belief that, together, we can inspire, unite and elevate ourselves beyond what we thought possible,” said Nicole Graham, Nike EVP and chief marketing officer. “With ‘Why Do It?,’ we’re igniting that spark for a new generation, daring them to step forward with courage, trust in their own potential and discover the greatness that unfolds the moment they decide to begin.”
Why risk it? Because you can.

Indie ad agency TDA Boulder has unveiled “No Nonsense Banking,” its debut campaign for new client First Interstate Bank. The rolling launch runs through the end of the year, and spans across 10 states.
The batch of spots includes this one titled “Every Step,” epitomizing a call to end the nonsense. “Every Step” opens on a couple experiencing life’s biggest moments (marriage proposal, first child, a kid learning to drive, and packing up for college). Each meaningful moment, though, has one odd addition: their banker is actually really there, experiencing those moments with them. The unexpected inclusion calls out the cliché that banks love to be with you every step of the way, even in life’s most intimate moments. The spot lands on the twist: First Interstate isn’t promising to be there for every step; just the ones that matter, with a straight answer and a real person on the other end.
