We partnered with Nike Mexico’s Brand Creative team to create the campaign for “Lucha Libre es Hermosa” a sportswear collection celebrating Mexico's vibrant wrestling scene.
In a short video directed by Mexican director Alexis Gómez, three up and coming wrestlers describe what makes Lucha Libre beautiful for them. The video is complimented by portraits taken by Stefan Ruiz, who has a history of documenting Mexico’s wrestlers dating back to the early 2000s. Meanwhile, product photography was shot by our trusted partners at c129.
A highlight of the project was a collaboration with Deportes Martínez, Mexico’s oldest mask makers – who translated Nike’s Lucha Libre sneakers into masks. To top things off original lettering and posters were designed by Todo Bien.

Dariux is one of Mexico's most promising lucha libre stars, for him it's not only a sport, but an art form. Over the last eight years as a professional wrestler, he has evolved his aggressive and acrobatic style to become “the tough guy of the air”.

Outside the ring, Zuzu Divine leads a normal and quiet life as a mother and as the manager of the family-run corner shop. But inside the ring, she is fierce, intense and determined to give female wrestlers better opportunities. For her, lucha libre is beautiful because of the happiness it brings people.

Andrea is an Olympic wrestler with the dream of becoming a lucha libre star. She grew up with many family ties to this world, several of her cousins and uncles are among Mexico's most well-known wrestlers. She loves this sport because of its inclusivity.
