This spot for Wieden and Kennedy sees Rooney firing penalty shots through illuminated goal posts. A series of lasers soon appear, which Rooney has to navigate past in order to avoid slicing the ball in pieces. It transpires that the person controlling the intricate network of beams is Torres. Edited at Trim, the post was delivered by Time Based Arts.

"Anthony Dickenson's beautiful in-camera photographic effects work has translated seamlessly to the new big Nike viral, out of Wieden + Kennedy, for the new T6 Laser III boots, designed to improve power and accuracy. Hit The Target … transforms Wayne Rooney's shooting practice into a Mission Impossible-style laser challenge - controlled by fellow striker and worthy adversary Fernando Torres. In a stylised environment, fast-paced movement mixes with slow-motion contact between boot and ball, all set to a dubstep soundtrack from 16 Bit. All in all, it's a brilliant demonstration of a couple of formidable players."
