The Ask
To create a series that puts fashion and creativity at the forefront.
What We Did
Launched in 2020, Nike Journal is the brand’s first editorial platform for global storytelling. SEE ME served as the primary creative and production partner behind the platform’s Culture vertical, providing creative development for five unique franchises. Among them is Beyond The Fit, which explores how global creatives weave their identities into their personal style. Tapping local teams around the world, we told the stories of individuality, heritage, and self-expression, creating a vibrant tapestry of fashion and creativity.
Our Alchemy
SEE ME cast six highly creative individuals across the globe in Tokyo, Sydney, Mexico City, Lagos, Seoul, and NYC, working closely with talent to style Nike gear alongside their own clothing to create looks reflective of their own style. Collaborating with teams in each region, SEE ME featured locations that were personal to the talent in order to add depth to each feature.
