First I couldn't see what's the deal with this sneaker like thing! But when closer look and I was like wow!!! It's pretty good art work and indeed "Bird's Nest" made of road is indeed symbolic to China and Hong Kong itself. Good work. Love it!!! ;-)

it is not sneakers , the thing represents a popular building in Hong knog i dont recollect its name .

more over i have seen a very similar ad for a GPS network. it was a ball of confused roads like this one and the copy reading ' lets u find ur way anywhere' .

I think you all forgot about the Bird's Nest in Beijing, the main stadium for the Olympics:

tho image you have provided helps to get this ad better, but still this image doesn't resemble that building that much, moreover it looks like a sneaker

tho art and Idea is ok, but resemblance with sneaker is somewhat awkward

gravity's picture 183 pencils

art direction could be better... bird nest? couldn't see that.

i understand that the ad is specific to chinese people, and they will be more likely to get the idea. but we have also seen bird nests before. this looks like a sneaker... that's why art direction could be better.

------They are celebrating China's National Day!!!!!!!!!!

This sentence is correct

@gravity and everyone saying the shape on the ad is a shoe:
"Bird's Nest" is the NAME of that building (stadium). It is not supposed to be shaped like an actual nest, the architecture resembles that of a nest.
The Bird's Nest was built for the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
Advertisers are supposed to have a general panorama of the world and have up-to-date references to do a good job. Where have you been hiding!? turn your TVs on every other day, it won't do you any harm to watch the news.
