adidas | Fast vs Fast | Global

In the spirit of the upcoming FIFA World Cup in South Africa, adidas has launched its initiative titled 'Fast vs. fast' on a global level featuring Argentine footballer Lionel Messi and Spanish representative David Villa.

This is said to be the first commercial in an on-going marketing campaign that is created by 180 Amsterdam and its digital arm 180Riot.

The campaign promotes the footwear line F50 adiZero. French player Zinidine Zidane also plays a part in the commercial that sees him speeding through the opening scene in a vintage car.

The concept ‘Speed meets speed. And the Gods will decide.' is illustrated by pitching World Cup favourites Spain and Argentina against each other in a match for which the outcome can only be decided by the Gods.

The commercial leads to the adidas football Facebook page, which runs a ‘50 days of fast' competition offering participants the chance to win a pair of F50 with Messi’s signature.

Other footballers such as Kaka, De Rossi, Simao, Ballack and Gourcuff also share their insights on how they become faster and better here.

‘Fast vs fast’ is a campaign built on last year’s ‘Every team needs the spark’ also starring Zidane and Messi.
