I stumbled across this faux Nike ad the other day and I thought it was great. Yes, I said “faux Nike ad” because this is not part of a real ad campaign. Actually, I was told the copy IS from a Nike campaign. The real ad however, featured only the copy with no photo accompanying it.

I for one wish this “faux ad” by Pudge Photos was used in an ad campaign. Honestly, I can’t think of the last Latina I saw in a mainstream Nike ad, this would help with that lack of representation. Better yet, a campaign featuring a variety of women of color, of all shapes and sizes…  like that Dove Campaign for Real Beauty. Now that would be nice to see.

Anyway, I just wanted to share this with you all… strong message of self love, great photo. What’s not to like?
