Rudy Bundini Tapped as the Newest Face of Nike

If you’ve looked up at billboards in the last year, then you have certainly seen the modelesque face of Rudy Bundini staring back at you. He’s graced magazine covers, editorials, ads, and commercials hailed as on the most successful models in the fashion and commercial world at this time. It’s not every day that a Rudy Bundini-style model comes along, which is why the biggest brands in the world will work quickly to snatch up their brand.
In February of this year, right before the pandemic, Rudy received news of the biggest brand partnership of his life: Nike. The world’s biggest athletic company named Rudy as their newest face, making their final decision after weeding through tens of thousands of candidates. Selecting Rudy to be the face for their dynamic and choreographic photo and video shoot, Nike knew that this worldwide heartthrob was perfectly qualified to represent their brand in the forthcoming media.

Rudy was born in Basel Switzerland, moving to the United States to pursue his dream of becoming an athlete. He knew that if he wanted the best chance at honing in on his skills and reaching the highest potential of his athletic career, the United States was the place to make it happen.
Ironically, never planning to become a model during his younger years, Rudy was scouted over one-decade ago by a daring agent that knew he had “the look.”
