PITTSBURGH, March 20, 2025 /3BL/ — Today, DICK’S Sporting Goods (NYSE: DKS) announced a new footwear ad campaign titled, Speed Shopping, which showcases DICK’S as the destination for athletes’ footwear needs with its extensive assortment of performance and lifestyle sneakers and cleats. The campaign stars viral video creator and streamer, IShowSpeed, alongside top athletes Tom Brady, Kevin Durant, Suni Lee and Travis Hunter.

IShowSpeed, who is known for his unparalleled athleticism, is surprised when his routine shopping trip to DICK’S Sporting Goods for a pair of sneakers turns into an all-out competition against a roster of legendary athletes. Brady, Durant, Lee and Hunter appear out of thin air to challenge the global phenom to a series of tests – from a 1-on-1 contest with Durant and backflip challenge with Suni to a face-off with The GOAT – all while he’s trying to shop for some of the hottest footwear in the game, including the adidas Spezial, adidas Electric Exotic Speed Cleats, Hoka Bondi 9, Nike Vapor Elite 1 NRG Football Cleats, Nike KD18 (available in-stores and on dicks.com beginning on 4/18) and more.

“Only at DICK’S could a quick shopping trip turn into a side quest with some of the greatest athletes ever!” said IShowSpeed. “Getting to work with DICK’S and these legends was an amazing experience. Tom Brady said it best, DICK’S is the GOAT!”

“The campaign is all about the energy that makes culture and footwear so intertwined. By bringing together IShowSpeed and the biggest athletes in the world, we wanted to create something that’s not just about shopping for shoes – it’s about the experience, competition and passion that fuels every athlete,” said Emily Silver, Chief Marketing Officer at DICK’S Sporting Goods.

Speed Shopping, developed and produced by OBB Media’s branded content studio, bolded, is a continuation of OBB’s partnership with DICK’S Sporting Goods. The spot highlight’s DICK’S Sporting Goods’ commitment to merging sports, style and culture.
