“Unlike Any,” Under Armour‘s latest campaign, celebrates the achievements of female athletes, looking at their athletic prowess without considering gender comparisons. Six Under Armour athletes will be highlighted for the campaign. These athletes will appear in videos that highlight their athletic talent and feature spoken-word artists’ poetry designed specifically for the individual athletes, with their stories in mind.
The athletes featured in the project are Lindsey Vonn, an Olympic gold medalist and alpine skier; Misty Copeland, the American Ballet Theatre’s first African-American principal ballerina; Alison Désir, a long-distance runner and the founder of Harlem Run Crew; Natasha Hastings, a world champion sprinter; Jessie Graff, a professional stuntwoman; and Zoe Zhang, a Chinese taekwondo champion and actress.
“Each of our athletes in this campaign have shattered expectations and challenged the status quo on their respective playing fields. For ‘Unlike Any,’ we set out to celebrate and elevate our athletes to where they belong – above gender roles, above labels and above convention,” said Adrienne Lofton, SVP of global brand management.
