Nobody but W+K and Nike Free really throw it down
“This is a throwdown! A showdown! Hell no, I can’t slow down! It’s gonna go!”
Apologies to non-Canadian readers out there, but when I looked the the Inbox’s, well, inbox, and saw that the latest Nike spot from Wieden + Kennedy Portland was called “Throwdown”, I was kinda hoping the soundtrack was gonna be the zenith of all Canuck hip-hop, “Let Your Backbone Slide”. Alas, it was not to be, but I can certainly groove to “Nobody But Me” by the Human Beinz while various athletes show off their skills, hoping to one-up each other.
They also made a version featuring only the ladies, with a female cover version of the song.
