Great commercial. Peterson is so into the game his body mimics the contours and grooves of a football. Could've had better music to it though. Last year Fincher had Ennio Morricone's "Ecstacy of Gold" as a soundtrack, which made for a better commercial.

that looks alike a trailer! and the music isn't as good as "ecsatcy of gold"

His body is mimicking the contours of a football? Nobody in my household really got that. It was a very theatrical looking commercial that made very little sense to us. But whatever… I've never bought shoes based on an ad anyway, so I'm not the target audience.

@AJ: Ya, you know, a football. How it is grooved so it gives us grip. That's what his body is in the end…not a reptile… Am I the only 1 who plays sports here?

@Anonymous' Friend: Actually his body is mimicking the padded outerwear, which is the reason for the ad, not shoes. His body reflects the pads, not a football.

@Brad Brevet: I was not familiar with the outerwear look, but obviously it mimics the look and feel of a football…which is what I was getting at.

@Anonymous' Friend:

Ummm, no. His skin at the end doesn't look like a football, not even close, footballs have small dimples. Nor is it supposed to, I think you are missing the whole point of the commercial. It's an ad for the Nike outwear, so his skin looks the outwear at the end.

Decent commercial, but I liked last year's commercial much better.

Brad is right it's his padding. I played football and it looks just like the hip and knee pads not the football

@The Big L: @Josh: Alright let's settle this once and for all: http://imagineathletes.com/images/american-football-close-up.jpg

If that doesn't look like his skin, then I don't know what does…
