Hypeneedz: Travis Scott AJ1 unboxing

Starting point

A release like the Travis Scott Air Jordan 1 is not sold with arguments. Anyone who wants it already knows what it is.

What is missing is the feeling of holding it. A product shot on a white ground does not give you that.

Approach

So it was filmed rather than photographed, and close. Twenty-three seconds, vertical: the box on a blue ground, a white glove lifting the lid, the tissue paper underneath, and then the shoe itself in details.

The gloves are not a styling choice. In this market that is how a shoe is handled, which is why the audience reads them instantly.

The pace is slower than advertising is normally allowed to be. That is the point: the format works because nobody swipes away, since they want to see what comes out of the box next.

Result

A piece that does not explain the shoe, it shows it.
