Old Men Still Doing it After All These Years

Nike is out with an ad which gives us hope that just because we will one day be old doesn’t mean we have to act all grown up and never have any fun. While age might slow a former soccer player down physically, it will never take away his passion for the game.

In the ad, called Magic Soccer Night, we see a group of men slip out of their homes in the middle of the night and trespass on a soccer field to relive the glory of their youth. While on the field, the actions of the older players are intercut with their younger selves.

In typical Nike fashion, the ad is uplifting and speaks to the inner athlete in all of us. We especially love the tagline, Still Doing It.
