Introduction Critiquing this ad on how it attracts customer to buy their product. I will talk about what is motivating or attracting the customer. Sometimes it’s the meaning behind the ad or how the product is represented. Nikes is using one of the most popular strategies that are successful in promoting its product and increasing income. When I first saw this ad I immediately knew they were comparing the iron man suit to the shoes showed in the ad. Messages This ad is trying to let the reader know that buy this shoes will make you as good a man as tony stark. This is basically saying that the type of shoe you’re wearing defines the kind of person who you are. Another message that the ad is showing is that the shoes have hidden power this …show more content…

Tony Stark is a rich playboy who use to help build weapons for the military but after a missile went wrong things went took a bad turn for him.The metal of the missile go into his hearts and he got captured by a terrorist group. He and prisoner then found a way for him to stop the metal in his heart from killing him and a way for them to get out of prison. They then decided to design a suit to help them break out of prison, he later then made improvements to it and started calling himself "iron man". The suit in the ad is an iron man suit called “MARK 42” which was introduced in 2012 for the movie Iron Man 3.

They want to show customers that theses shoes will protect you just as good as the iron man suit to protect's tony stark. Also to make customers know that the shoes are as durable as the suit which can take damages from very powerful weapons. Ambiguity The advertisement says that these shoes make you a man, but that sounds like it's trying to be subjective because what about those people who can't afford those shoes. The ad is also trying to say that when you purchase these shoes it shows what kind of man you are, a man similar to that of tony stark. Another reason is it is trying to show that the shoes are strong and powerful and help save the but in an environmental way. Personal Impression To me, this ad is basically saying that these shoes are strong and durable. It shows to me that unless you get these shoes you will never be a man, which I find very unnecessary because your shoes do not define the kind of man you are. The way they compare these shoe to a fictional super character is interesting to make it look like it would have similar qualities to that of the iron man suit, which makes me think this is an ad aim toward young children and fans of marvel

Advertisers use rugged to show that even in the harshest conditions their shoe will always keep you comfortable. Hasty generalization is an informal fallacy of false generalization, based on insufficient evidence. This ad is an example of Aristotle's appeal to ethos. Advertisers use this fallacy with no evidence of these shoes being comfortable in rugged conditions, as well as being more comfortable than other brands. While being an outdoor shoe, the brand still keeps a clean and comfortable looking shoe that appeals to consumers who want to be comfortable while in difficult terrain.

Another rhetorical feature used by Nike in the “Ripple” commercial that runs hand in hand with music, is tone. In writing, tone is the essence in which is presented throughout the advertisement. Like most sports apparel brands, Nike usually uses advertising that provokes motivation through intense training videos of athletes sporting their gear, or high energy training. These videos are accompanied with upbeat music that sparks different emotions and reaches the rhetorical appeal, pathos, from different means. The tone that is created in the Rory Mcilroy Nike advertisement is much different than the up tempo commercials even though it acts mainly on the same appeal.

The credibility of the ad comes from the world class known players in different sports like Neymar in soccer, Selena in Tennis, and Nyjah in skating. Consequently, the argument displayed by the company shows that humans are unlimited; all the opportunities for us to be the best in something are in front of us by hardworking and believing in ourselves.

The producers of these commercials know this does not draw in a crowd and know that they need to use fast, up beat, inspiring music to draw peoples’ attention. The players, athletes, and people involved in the video clip are all showering in Nike attire with bright colors and designs and the big symbol they are known for is visible for everyone to see. In some of the propaganda, a player may be shown as mediocre with very little Nike attire, but as the publication goes on, the athlete is wearing all Nike and becomes an excellent competitor. This shows the audience that if they wear their products they will become better and well rounded. Another example Nike uses pathos is by using an athlete that once had multiple failures and has turned their failures into success.

The speaker, Tom Hardy, makes the advertisement argument sound very factual when he tells the audience that we can all achieve greatness, and it’s not some rare DNA strand— you just have to do it. By saying so the audience now has this idea planted in their head, and can inspire the audience to do it when they realize it. The boy again, also plays a role in this logical appeal.

The “What Girls Are Made Of” Nike advertisement is inspired by a popular Russian song titled, “What Girls Are Made Of.” Judging by the title, the commercial is clearly geared towards girls, more specifically girls who are interesting in athletic activities and sports. While Nike’s objective is to sell its sports wear, it also sells an empowering message that defies stereotypes through the effective use of rhetoric. To begin, the advertisement begins in the setting of a stage and a large audience listening in agreement as a little girl in yellow charms, “Girls are made up of flowers, and rings and gossip and marmalade.” These are just few of many belittling stereotypical descriptives for a girl.

Nike has managed to shift their Manufacturing unit into Asian country’s were the labor is cheap to be exact wages of USD1 an hour were so little as one-tenth of those given in the US.
