Apart from being one of the major brands in the world for sportswear, Nike has also been identified as a strong advocate of women’s right to be on the sports field.
This time they decided to bring the lives of Middle-Eastern women, and all the flak that they get, out on the table through this commercial. Women are heavily pushed under the guardianship laws and societal pressure in Middle-East which results in them being unable to do what they want to.

This advertisement portrays what a woman has to go through in order to perform for herself.
