About the Work
• Those who love basketball culture have more of it to absorb today than ever before between highlights on IG, player beef on Twitter, and viral TikTok celebrations. While this audience may have a lot of opportunity to observe this culture, they remain limited in how they can become a part of it themselves. They participate in the culture by wearing the footwear inspired by the game and those who influence it, so we thought Foot Locker would be perfect to bring them a new level of cultural access and participation.
With the world shutdown due to COVID-19, we wanted to bring this cultural access to a place where our audience could participate virtually. Our solution was to create a one-of-a kind, live event on Twitch to celebrate basketball, sneakers and the culture at large. Twitch usage was high with younger audience (68% of all users), users over-indexed on interests in apparel and sneakers, as well as having a very high virtual engagement of 27-28 minutes per vist, 4x daily. So we partnered with artist Temi Coker to create a vibrant look and feel for the campaign, and animated Temi’s art on our court in real time using 3D projection mapping. Viewers of the livestream could use Twitch functionality to influence the artwork on the court live, get their Tweets animated live on court, cheer for and interact with the influencer talent competing in a slam dunk contest, game of HORSE, and a 1 on 1 matchup. These events unfolded over three days, each inspired by a unique theme related to basketball culture.
