Nike Stories: Campaign | “Scary Good” Feat. Zostyyler × Social Queue

Case overview
A soccer ball, a lofi beat, and a vibe that creeps up on you. This wasn’t just another influencer video—it was a full-blown late-night fever dream built from scratch. Inspired by retro horror and Nike’s “Scary Good” series, we dropped Zostyyler into a surreal talk show universe where tricks speak louder than words. Shot entirely on greenscreen, designed in 3D, and brought to life with full VFX. One set. One ball. One cold edit. And a whole lot of footwork.
Involvement

The Brief

We wanted to drop Zostyyler into a world that felt like a mixtape between late-night cable weirdness and Nike’s iconic storytelling flair. The goal: build a surreal, VFX-heavy campaign from the ground up—one that felt as cool as it did cinematic, while staying rooted in Zostyyler’s playful persona. The tone had to be warm, lo-fi, and a little offbeat—like something you’d catch at 1AM and wonder if you imagined it. From concept to final export, every frame needed to hit like a branded fever dream—haunting, hilarious, and hype-worthy.

Our Approach

We built the concept from scratch—starting with the tone. It had to feel like a lo-fi fever dream: cozy, cinematic, and a little bizarre. We leaned into a warm retro palette, dramatic side-lighting, and VFX trickery that amplified Zostyyler’s energy without ever overpowering it. The idea was to feel familiar but uncanny—like your favorite after-school sports ad got hijacked by Adult Swim. From storyboard to final sound design, every beat was intentional, every frame meant to feel both low-key and legendary.

The Results

The campaign didn’t just hit numbers—it built a persona. By blending Zostyyler’s magnetic personality with Nike’s bold creative DNA, we helped elevate his image across both audiences and brands. The reel organically reached thousands, sparked genuine fan interaction, and positioned Zostyler as a go-to creator for sports and lifestyle partnerships.

Post-campaign, he secured new brand deals—directly tied to the new aesthetic and tone we introduced in this collab. No paid ads, no force-fed hype—just style, storytelling, and timing that hit right.

“These guys brought a whole new vibe to my image. The shoot felt easy, the edit came out fire—and it actually led to real deals. Can’t ask for more. Appreciate y’all fr.”
