Wieden+Kennedy Shanghai and Nike China remember the love of Kobe Bryant

Nike China remembers Kobe Bryant’s love for China via ‘Dear Kobe’, a new animated spot via Wieden + Kennedy Shanghai.

 

Directed by Francois Rousselet through Division + The Pandemic Story Shanghai the spot is a homage to the Academy Award-winning animated short ‘Dear Basketball’. The 2017 animated short film was written and narrated by Bryant and is based on a letter Bryant wrote for The Players’ Tribune on November 29, 2015, announcing his retirement from basketball.
