About Nikeâs Womenâs World Cup Ad: Dream Further
The dream further ad features a slew of female soccer stars and 10-year-old Makena Cook, an aspiring footballer. The starts by showing us the stadium tunnel at a match between the Netherlands and Nigeria. We are introduced to Makena Cooke, who is led to the field by Dutch soccer star Lieke Martens. When the beginning ceremony is over she is told that âshe is not done,â we then see Cooke being thrust into matches to play out her dreams alongside her idols. Cooke also gets the opportunity to assist former England international Alex Scott, who is imagined as the coach of the Barcelona menâs team. Each athlete holds Cookeâs hand, this acts as a metaphor for how the current generation of stars will lead the next generation into the future.
As she moves from one scenario to another, âBad Reputationâ by Joan Jett & the Blackhearts plays in the background. Nikeâs Womenâs World Cup ad ends with Cooke being pit against the defending champion U.S. Womenâs National Team and forward Crystal Dunn, as the younger player serves Australian mega-star Sam Kerr up with a perfect assist for a goal. The powerful and electrifying spot ends on the line: âDonât change your dream. Change the world.â
