In its latest collaboration with Nike Basketball,Studio Private has delivered the refined edit and integrated VFX for Fit for a King, the latest campaign in the evolving Nike x James legacy.
Directed by Misha Taylor and starring Bronny James, the video is realised through Studio Private’s technical precision and aesthetic sensibility, transforming simplicity into something elevated, powerful, and cinematic.
Fresh off the release of He Is The Forever King, this new chapter marks the launch of the LeBron XXIII The Chosen One and the One Who Chose, a special edition colour way designed to celebrate the historic moment when LeBron and his son Bronny James became the first father–son duo to play together in an NBA game.
Led by Studio Private’s editor Adam Muscat and VFX artist Louisiane Trotobas, the London team brought Nike’s vision to life by honing the film’s rhythm, texture, and light. The result captures the intensity of performance through a lens of restraint and focus, giving each movement a sense of weight and intent.

Muscat, who previously led both sound and edit for Nike DN8, approaches the work with an appreciation for the interplay of light and shadow, image and sound, and the tension between the ordinary and extraordinary, elevating Bronny’s performance into a visual experience of power and control. Trotobas, whose portfolio spans campaigns for Miu Miu’s Upcycled, Loewe X ON, and Nike X ACW, merges creative design with cutting-edge VFX to create visuals that feel both seamless and substantial, adding an understated sophistication to the film’s aesthetic.
“We’re a well-oiled team,” says Bianca Redgrave, Managing Director at Studio Private. “Because we don’t work in silos, our edit and VFX departments collaborate in real time, constantly pushing the creative forward. That cohesion is what gives Fit for a King its clarity and strength.” Muscat, adds: “With Fit for a King, it’s exciting to be able to fuse the worlds of filmmaking and sport through an artistic lens. Fashion film is evolving rapidly, giving us the freedom to shape each piece with our own sense of style, emotion, and visual storytelling, transforming conventional advertisements into short works of art.”
The final project is a sharp, compelling portrait that balances human performance with the engineered beauty of Nike’s design innovation, a study in control, grace, and emerging greatness. By refining the intersection of character, motion, and design, Studio Private ensures the campaign lands with the precision and emotional weight that define Nike Basketball’s most iconic work, continuing a trusted creative partnership built on vision, collaboration, and craft.
