Going against the grain, defining one’s own future rather than the future that has been mapped out by the masses. These are the characteristics that mark the next generation of creators as depicted in “Your Future Is Not Mine,” a 75-second film that’s the centerpiece of Johannes Leonardo’s latest adidas Originals campaign which features a new squad of eight upcoming artists and cultural influencers from around the world who are shaping their own path through their craft: Luka Sabbat, Kyu Steed, Aleali May, Ikwa Zhao, Reese Cooper, Design Butler, Yuki Matsuda and Iman Shumpert.
Terence Neale of RSA Films directed the :75 which captures this new generation of creators as they confidently march towards an optimistic tomorrow, dismissing hurdles of the negative future they seem to have inevitably inherited. Underscored by an original track by Los Angeles-born artist Daisy Hamel-Buffa, the protagonists walk to the beat of the chant that defiantly states, “Your future is not mine,” occasionally looking back as if to invite the viewer on the journey. The words of the mesmerizing chant feel like a powerful generational anthem.

Heineken® is bringing a new approach to fan connection this summer. Whether it be music, movies or sport--only the biggest fans keep their old tickets as mementos. Now, Heineken is bringing 23-time Grand Slam champion and Heineken 0.0 Global Ambassador Serena Williams’ biggest fans together by re-activating her past tickets for this year’s U.S. Open.
As an extension of Heineken’s “Fans Have More Friends” campaign and in partnership with the tennis icon, Second Serve Tickets revives tickets from any of Williams’ past U.S. Open tournaments for a chance to score a seat in the exclusive Heineken Suite at Arthur Ashe Stadium at the 2026 US Open.
Fans at the 2026 U.S. Open can also purchase limited-edition Heineken 0.0 cans inspired by the ticket designs from Serena Williams’ six US Open championship wins, available exclusively at the 2026 US Open starting Monday, August 24 (while supplies last) alongside the full Heineken portfolio.
Simon Dolsten of Dolsten & Co. directed this hero spot--from creative agency LePub New York--which meshes live action and animation with Williams in the starring role. Read More
