The launch event took place in an abandoned car park in downtown Munich, with a turf lawn in the centre and spiral ramps for terraces. 30 teams were able to sign for the first 3on3, design their own jerseys and exclusively test a recently launched boot series. The matches were all played at night – with a knockout system, 3 against 3. Until only one team was left standing – the strongest in the city.The campaign was launched via Facebook exclusively. Through this channel, teams were activated and the conversation fueled, with postings, teaser videos and direct dialogue between brand and fan.
