View Full Version : Nike commercial shot in OKC this evening (10/21/11)
shawnw 10-22-2011, 01:11 AM I don't have a lot of details, but if you were in the area of Classen/Western and 21st/22nd this evening and wondered why police cars were blocking the roads and why there were lots of trucks and a crane and why a helicopter was flying around The Classen, it's because there was a Nike commercial being filmed on the amenities deck (top of the parking garage). We're supposed to be told when it will air. I will update if they tell us.
Someone else in the building took this pic:

ljbab728 10-22-2011, 01:15 AM I also have direct information that Nike is using the local home of someone I do business with to film a commercial with Kevin Durant. That's just one more benefit to our "Thunder" experience.
shawnw 10-22-2011, 01:17 AM Well, one of the players lives here, so I wonder if it's one and the same commercial.

I have no idea, but I know Kevin Durant is involved in the commercial I'm referring to.
shawnw 10-22-2011, 01:32 AM Well, there's a basketball court on the deck with a great view of the OKC skyline in the background, so it would make a great spot for such a commercial.
Thunder 10-22-2011, 02:22 AM Good job, boys. Keep us updated.
Easy180 10-22-2011, 09:33 AM Probably won't air until November 2012 when the next NBA game takes place

Too soon! Too Soon!
CuatrodeMayo 10-23-2011, 10:16 PM FWIW, This appears to be the same crew that was filming in the Plaza District a couple of weeks ago around Indiana and 16th.
shawnw 10-23-2011, 10:19 PM I can now confirm that KD was here for this commercial.
Larry OKC 10-23-2011, 10:24 PM He was also here for his charity game played Sunday night at the Cox
shawnw 10-24-2011, 02:32 AM Roger that. But for clarity, when I said here, I meant at The Classen on Friday night. Sorry, I should have spelled it out.
bandnerd 10-24-2011, 05:45 AM They were also filming at a high school gym recently. I believe KD was there for that, as well.
shawnw 10-28-2011, 01:24 AM Don't know if this is the commercial or not, cause there is no mention of the Classen location, but seems like there wouldn't be more than one OKC Nike commercial coming out at the same time...
Kevin Durant's Nike commercial to make viral debut Friday

My brother-in-law was over tonight and he was telling us about this commercial as he worked on it (he get's a lot of big time filming "events" that come to Oklahoma). He does a lot of business with Kevin Durant and says he's a pretty cool guy, which we all knew.

Lol it's pretty cool, he talks about him like they're old time buddies. Lol when they did a movie here a year or so back, Jessica Alba was in the movie and she sat next to him during lunch one day and they started talking. Don't mean to brag any but it is pretty legit having a brother who associates with famous people. Lol

Here's the Nike commercial featuring KD among other NBA stars. The opening scene looks like the CHK arena no?
shawnw 10-29-2011, 11:52 AM It REALLY does.

So this is the commercial that was shot.
OKCisOK4me 11-25-2011, 02:26 PM I like it!
jungmuny 11-25-2011, 04:48 PM Pretty sweet! That church is First Presbyterian and the school I think is Taft Middle. The barn I would guess is in Spencer. The opening/ending street scene is Shields I believe from Capitol Hill. Now I want to go track down the rest of 'em and go play..
Dustin 11-25-2011, 06:47 PM Great shot of DT OKC at the end!
Bunty 11-25-2011, 09:56 PM The Devon tower was certainly one of the co stars of that ad. I think it's meant to complement the tallness of KD.
Skyline 11-25-2011, 10:06 PM Okc should just hire Nike to promote the city.

Nike and Sandridge

I can confirm this. I have seen the contracts and Devon Tower was infact the co-star and was used for this specific reason.
