Being the final rounds of the Champions League season, it's perfect timing for showing off Nike's latest football site. Of course there's a lot of Flash on this site. Of course there's a lot of video there, too. There's definitely a bunch of marketing bullshit and big words. But still, the site is a beauty, the videos are extremely well made and it's all fun to browse through. I like it a lot, even though it's not my regular cup of tea. Thanks to Sandro for telling me about this one. P.S. No, it's not called soccer. That's just wrong.

Perfect Fools makes Sebastien Foucan free run your text input as short video segments. A great little project that is seamlessly put together. The load isn't too heavy either, considering the amount of video transferred. Via The Designers' Monarchy.

Kokokaka is a production company located in Gothenburg, Sweden. Founded in 2001 and has since produced some of the most awarded web commercials in the world. There's probably quite a few in their portfolio that you will recall. There's no suprise that Flash is used throughout, and it works well for them. Wonderful site.

GrupoW are back with another commercial campaign, this time aimed at selling Ice Breaker mints. The transitions are great and I especially love the way the animated hand points out the download progress and lays down mints as bullet points. A nice and playful touch.

Stockholm-based RBG6 makes some of the most beautiful retro-style video and graphic design work I've seen in a while. The work on display truly stands out in a crowd, and the presentation is quite spiffy, too. Via Computerlove™.

Taking on the role of Nike recently, Microsoft has started delivering some of the most exciting Flash sites on the web. They're all very different and very creative and makes great use of the capabilites of Flash. If you're going to use Flash, you should go all the way like they're doing with this site. I also think they're taking the cheesy color scheme of Vista in a good direction with Surface.

I wonder if this service can keep its promise of helping to create and deliver fantastic email campaigns. But that doesn't really matter when it comes to being listed here on Styleboost. The online home of Mail & go is a true beauty, featuring the same color-scheme as Batman and the elegance of Robin. It simply shows what Mail & go is all about, and it does it with style. It's even got a shiny logo. What's not to love?

Microsoft's promotional site for their new Forefront security software left me with mixed feelings. First the bad. I couldn't really figure out what Forefront is without spending a little bit too much time on this site. Maybe I'm dumb, but I found it hard to grasp what this product really was. Then the good. I love the bold colors. There is tons of humor throughout the site. The use of video, audio and animations is great. Zombies. Nuff said. Via DesignCharts.

This is the promo site for the latest class of students attending Sweden's world famous school of new media, HyperIsland. These site's are launched every year, and every single time they make use of Flash. This could be bad, but in HyperIsland's case, they truly know how to handle Flash, and create sites that push the limits of the technology creatively. The Crew12 site is beautiful and an impressive piece work that in fact pushes the limits of what my laptop can handle, making the transitions a bit laggy.

Nike always bring us great websites, at least in some aspect or another. The Nike+ website is no different. It's a beautiful display of gloss, colors, product photos, flash videos and, unfortunately, a slow and overloaded user interface. I really love the use of red.
