Nike 'twists' a building to demonstrate shoe's flexibility

TOKYO - To showcase the flexibility of the Nike Free sneakers, Wieden+Kennedy Tokyo used the shoe to "bend a famously inflexible object", in this case, the Red Brick Warehouse in Yokohama, Japan.

The one-night-only stunt took place on 20 April in an event organised by Nike called "Yasei Night". The event and the stunt are both part of the ongoing Nike Free Campaign

The stunt has since gone viral on blogs, Twitter and YouTube, where the video has drawn over 35,000 hits since it was posted on 1 May.
