Description
Autry, the US sneakers brand that last year launched a special model dedicated to American tennis legend Bob Lutz, has marked the opening of this year’s US Open finals with a social film to mark Lutz’s 75th birthday.
Bob Lutz was one of the top US players of his era, winning 43 doubles and 11 singles titles, a winner of 5 Davis Cups with the US team, and a 5-time US Open doubles champion.
Since then, his legacy has been largely left to the historical record – and rarely remembered. Autry’s new campaign is intended to provide a spotlight that Bob Lutz’s legacy, including Autry’s Bob Lutz sneaker launched last year, deserves.
The 60-second film describes what it takes to be a legend and one of the strongest US players of all time – despite the fact many today may not have heard of him: “The man, the legend, and now the shoe”.
The campaign, directed by Em Cole through Twin Productions, also includes a product focused film called “Hypebeast x Autry” with the brand's punchy view on drop culture film, to announce Autry’s landing in the US.
This professional campaign titled 'The man, the legend, and now the shoe' was published in United Kingdom and United States in September, 2022. It was created for the brand: Autry, by ad agency: Grey London. This Film medium campaign is related to the Sports industry and contains 1 media asset. It was submitted over 1 year ago.
