Nike customises training shoes to your MMS

by Marino Bresciani

Here’s a cool marketing idea from Nike: bespoke shoes based on your own mobile phone snaps.

This is a part of a mobile campaign called PhotoID. Buyers can take a cameraphone snap of “brightly coloured subjects, such as street graffiti or clothing”, MMS it off to Nike and get a message back showing a pair of Nike’s 1985 Dunk high-top customised using the colours in the photo. Anyone who’s really taken with their shoes can then buy the customised footwear.

You can see a video of the service in action over at The Guardian. If you want to give it a go, you need to MMS your picture and the word “DUNK” to the following numbers: Denmark: 1231, Finland: 17163, France: 31000, Germany: 99666, Spain: 5222, Sweden: 72445, Norway: 2201, UK: 88247, Italy: 3464646402.
