Parkour Is Way Crazier When It’s Computer Animated

Without the limitations of, you know, human bodies and gravity and all that junk, the already-crazy sport of parkour (or “extreme running”) becomes even more amazing. This bit is from a Nike ad and features a computer-animated, hoodie-wearing robot. [DVICE]

    Wow, that look’s great, a tad of motion blur though, which made it look less realistic.

    Never the less, bravo Nike; Bravo.

    its kind of like the energizer add where the bunny does parkour. except it doesnt suck. and its way more awesome. and it makes me want to buy expensive shoes. nike ones. and jump off buildings… the energizer bunny didnt really have that same effect on me.

    But can the robot outrun the chicken from their classic Ad? I think not.
