How High Can You Jump for Adidas?

By Advergize Staff

Adidas recently came up with a new ad campaign featuring the famous basketball star, Derrick Rose for their D Rose Jump Store in London. The concept of the ad is simple yet, very innovative. For the campaign, Rose travelled all around Europe as a part of his “D-Rose Tour.” This unique store gave fans a chance to jump with the Chicago Bulls point guard to get a pair of Derrick Rose signature Adidas sneakers, kept at a height of around 9 feet. The only way to get a pair was to jump as high as they could, and pull out a pair for themselves. Check out the video to see how many the people in London went home with a pair of their favourite sneakers. Another example of a guerrilla stunt made viral. I think I could have never jumped that high!

Unfortunately, not everyone sees such things as talent, like this Asian dad. But hey, social media is not all about getting spoilt and wasting all your time clearing jelly while playing Candy Crush Saga.
