Korobka Rebels.

Petro dollars have funded the new face of Russian Football. But at a cost. A lack of opportunity and a feeling of distrust has set in amongst the next generation of young players. So we sparked a revolution across the korobka (cage) football pitches, to champion this unique style of the game, and create a new identity for the korobka players to let the world see the true face of Russian football. An integrated campaign that included a visual identity, a music video, a tvc, several football events throughout Moscow and a large amount of social assets.

“NIKE deep dives beautifully into Russia’s 'cage football' subculture.”

We recruited on over 1000 Korobkas. Over 7000 players signed up across the 10 districts of Moscow.

 


Music video

 

Together with Russian rapper L'One we created the rebel soundtrack of the Korobka movement, shared it on itunes to over a million listeners.
