You may have noticed in recent weeks that we are working with Nike on The Chance – an international competition that gives ambitious young football talent an opportunity to play on the big stage and be recognised and scouted by the biggest clubs and coaches on the planet. We've partnered to support the creative element of Nike's global campaign that is simultaneously searching for up-and-coming filmers and photographers – The Reporters.
With so many talented individuals out there creating brilliant images and videos, a wealth of potential‘Reporters’had to be whittled down to just six individuals specialising in either photography or film. The Reporters have started documenting the journey and as proceedings are now underway, we wanted to introduce the final six we've chosen, alongside Nike and project mentor Neil Bedford, to be a part of the creative competition that will be judged by legendary filmmaker Spike Lee.

“The Ones,” is an original web series presented by Nike Air Force One, which profiles creative individuals who are revolutionizing their respective fields and explores what makes them special.
The latest video focuses on Sugar Tongue Slim, a poet and rapper from Atlanta who has become part of Philadelphia’s gritty Hip-Hop scene. Equip with slick, multisyllabic rhymes and a unique drawl, STS is also part of the Money Making Jam Boys, a collective that released a critically-lauded mixtape last February. Check out this rising talent as he hits the streets of Philadelphia and recounts his rare moments of glory on the football field.
After watching this first installment I'm looking forward to checking the next. Hopefully this is a broad campaign by Nike that stretches over different continents and blesses some of the folks on our side of the pond.
