New Kicks on the Block

The redesigned Nissan Kicks is cool. There’s a sneaker tread texture on the lower body of the car. There’s bold colorways. There’s Bose speakers installed directly in the headrests.

So we partnered with legendary music video director Dave Meyers to create a campaign centered around music to reintroduce the Kicks to the world.

“MASHUP”

Our custom mashup of OutKast’s “I Like the Way You Move” and Carole King’s “I Feel the Earth Move”–remixed by DJ Earworm highlights Kicks’ Bose Audio system.

I LIKE THE WAY YOU MOVE. I FEEL THE EARTH MOVE. I LIKE THE WAY YOU MOVE. I FEEL THE EARTH MOVE.

DISS TRACK

We tapped into diss track culture by partnering with rapper Kenny Mason to show off why the Kicks is the best compact SUV in the game (sorry, Hyundai), and won a Shorty Award for it.

THE ROAD TO REINVENTION

BLK ODYSSEY talks how he’s constantly reinventing himself as an artist, similar to how the Kicks has been reimagined.

We teamed up with Raiche to capture her live reaction to hearing her song, “Hearts at War” play on the radio for the very first time.

We partnered with creative director Alani Noelle to show how her vibrant personal style embodies the bold spirit of the Kicks.
