- somedumbguy, on 10/12/2007, -5/+21But you have to admit that their ad campaigns are often pretty good.
- jktstance, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47tlFVBA130
Tell me that's not one of their top 20 ads. - burkewendt, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10Wtf? Where's the guy running from the chicken??? That was their best ad!
No Chicken, No Digg - shewasjustagrl, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7"Move" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OeO7vVOzzBc
Aired during the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, this commercial uses cut after cut, creating a montage of clips from practically all sports in one long continous stream of motion.
Genius in editing and absolutely breathtaking... - johnpaul191, on 10/12/2007, -0/+61) i agree that Nike's business practices SUCK
2) THIS is the best freakin' sneaker ad ever. it was pulled during the Olympics because people got upset and Nike/NBC knuckled under. As much as i hate Nike, i thought it was brilliant. It's Olympic runner Suzy Hamilton outrunning a chainsaw wielding killer because she's fast as hell. http://youtube.com/watch?v=g_UOVFqjay0 - jasz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5daaaaaaaaamn... this list misses all the soccer commercials...
man, I loved those soccer commercials with the brazilian soccer team playing around an airport.... - moo113, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5What about all of their football (soccer) commercials?
- sionnach, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5List obviously made by an american :/
- Sturmur, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3The football(soccer) commercials are much better than these ones.

"Hey Tira, you left your toothbrush at my house!" - Izzio, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I always liked this one
http://youtube.com/watch?v=1cgc91Gf0zw - Tollboi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I was thinking the exact same thing when I saw this list. Anyone in advertising knows about this ad. They just never ran it enough for everyone to see it
http://youtube.com/watch?v=fpyhpisoWf4 - toasterking, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Does anyone know the backing music from the Armstrong commercial #8?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjcZNR6MiRE - StephnDolenc, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2best one by far that didn't make the list
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnrzXVshlww - canewediggit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2ok, my bad, i didn't realize that he did place an edited version of this one w/ the actual jordan footage split-screen. that was pretty cool.
- davecor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2It's not a "Swoosh"... It's a wing.
As in the winged goddess NIKE, the Greek goddess of victory.
Get it? Wings on your shoes.....Feh.. Nevermind... - MakeoutParadise, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2http://youtube.com/watch?v=2ry41RIkqHA
i enjoyed this one quite a bit. - Djlethal01, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I thought the Nike Freestyle commercial was VERY popular?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMciSXQ1eCg - Cougaboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2my all-time favorite:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcChqf5-KpM - whoaohh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Where's the funk?!
http://youtube.com/watch?v=An24cpRw_64
Keep that funk alive.. - xL0Sx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2http://www.youtube.com/watch.php?v=aRHk8ol0vTw
The Ronaldhino "Touch of Gold" Commercial.
Comment but no Digg... too many good ones to make a top 10 or 20 or whatever. - pixelate, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3"Move"... absolutely. Jonathan Elias's music for that commercial is one of the more beautiful pieces I've heard in any medium.
Plus, where's the Air Jordan commercial with all the kids imitating Jordan's trademark moves? That's got to be top 5... - SugeKnight, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLz1qL8hrEQ
There couldn't have been a better "natural" commercial than this!!
Also, Tiger Woods is just ridiculous! - madholepunch, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3show me some *current* info backing up the slave labor claim
- GQCarrick, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Good list, but missing some classics.

- ShooterMcGavin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhLNrB-QJbs
Should have looked before I posted... Plus, I pulled the dialog from memory... cut me some slack.. - ShooterMcGavin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I liked the other hockey commercial where the ex-goalie was doing landscaping because of Mats Sundin. He was using his skate to edge a lawn. Then, he proceeds to go crazy on a pile of leaves.
Shouting in the heavy french canadian accent, "I hate you maple leaves! You are the worst leaves!"
Classic. - ostracize, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Out of Jaromir Jagr, Nicklas Lidstrom, Joe Sakic, or Peter Forsberg, only Sakic would have any real appeal in Canada (where the commercial was aired), and Sundin would have much more appeal given his popularity in the Toronto area.
- Henry, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2What chicken commercial?
- ostermei, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Marked as inaccurate. "20 Greatest" and it doesn't include "Tag"? Inexcusable. Witness: http://www.methodstudios.com/project/358.html
- voyetra8, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11. Nike just fired Wieden+Kennedy, the agency that did most (if not all) of this work...
2. They've just hired Crispin Porter + Bogusky - the agency that does all of the current VW & Burger King ads...
3. Prepare yourselves for some new Nike spots that try waaaay too hard.... - Livewire, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1someone needs to do this for Gatorade commercials
- blackbelt88, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Man, you forget how iconic some of those Jordan moments were until you see them all together like that. Even though it's not actually him in the commercial, those shots are so recognizable that you just know it's Jordan as soon as you see it.
- kmanb182, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3I never can find the nike commercial with Jerry Seinfeld.
- shango5, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Thank you for reminding me about the funk one. I loved that one. The old ABA footage was a nice touch.
- Janus67, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Pretty cool list, I like the XXI one for MJ.
- CFFlyMolo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Found this link on Youtube
http://home.comcast.net/~barryjive_andthe_uptownfive/magnet90.mp3 - 2ndrookie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'm not a RedSox Fan and I still loved this commercial... very moving. They hit it on the nail with this one:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=pXz4LFKq7dY - iRoy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1No. It is in fact a swoosh. That is what it is called, I know this because of my extensive Nike SB collection, it says it on all the boxes.
- bannonto, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@sugeknight "There couldn't have been a better "natural" commercial than this!!
Also, Tiger Woods is just ridiculous!"
Totally loved this shot. Still can't believe it really went in. And not sure why Nike didn't use it more for there own ads.
Oh... and Jordan makes more money on his Nike commercials each year than all of the Nike laborers combined. - J4k3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Nike rules! Victory for life!
- Rkstar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I remember the "Instant Karma" one well. That's what got me into John Lennon (and subsequently The Beatles) as a kid. Ahh, music promotion through commercialism.
- ptFoe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Who is that girl athlete in the Instant Karma AD.
- estvir, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1> daaaaaaaaamn... this list misses all the soccer commercials...

There are /tons/ more and a lot are much better than these ones I quickly found. - GQCarrick, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This is classic too. Dennis Hopper, bad things man, bad things
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HU8gvF6WCIk - FriendsOfWario, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1http://www.nikeskateboarding.org
- akashra, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2The NikePlay "Musical Chairs" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugqotH2Bi68) and "Tag" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpyhpisoWf4) commercials have to be my all-time favorites.
- dclowd9901, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I love this commercial. The music is really, just amazing, I love how they tie all the sports together, and I like the message.
