adidas | BILLIE JEAN KING YOUR SHOES

To showcase adidas’ commitment to empower young girls to stay in sports we launched the Here to Create Change platform. In 1973, Billie Jean King played the most important tennis match of all time: The Battle of the Sexes. She changed the male-dominated establishment in a pair of blue adidas. For the 45th anniversary and the launch of the “here to create change” platform, we could have just re-released her shoe. But that's not how BJK would do it. She prefers to change things.

We started by changing adidas' most iconic models and at the U.S. Open, we invited everyone to BJK their shoes – no matter what brand.

We created an iconic print and out of home campaign that starred BJK herself. We enlisted photographer Nadia Lee Cohen to help us portray Billie as the bad ass that she is. I’d say Nadia understood the assignment.
