Directed by Sophia Nahli Allison (a Best Documentary Short Subject Oscar nominee last year for A Love Song For Latasha) and backed by Melina Matsoukas' new creative collective de la revolución, Droga5 NY introduced lululemon’s first step into the performance footwear space with an artful love letter to "A Woman’s Foot." Mirroring the considerations of the BlissFeel Running Shoe–the brand’s first running shoe made for women first–the film celebrates the intricate nuances of women’s feet and what makes them feel good in motion.
“A Woman’s Foot” was shot in Mexico City and Shanghai in collaboration with cinematographer Michael “Cambio” Fernandez, with the local support of cinematographer Stevo Sheng in China. The film also features some of the brand’s ambassadors: Colleen Quigley, Kadeena Cox, Changning Zhang and Mirna Valerio alongside other real female runners.

Created by Apple’s in-house agency and directed by David Shane of production company O Positive, this commercial is one of two which continues the Apple Intelligence campaign for the iPhone 16.
