Fresh Air

Nike has been bringing out variety of great ads and Foot Locker is known for nice sneaker ads. What’s better than Footlocker or Nike ad is of course a collaboration between these two. Add in Cool Kids, Amar’e Stoudemire, DeSean Jackson and Chris Bosh, not to mention fresh kicks and you get a catchy little ad. When was the last time you copped some “Fresh Air”?

Christmas is almost here and if you haven’t done so yet, it’s time to start writing to Santa. My list this year ain’t too long, but there are few things I would like. But what would you do to ensure you get what you wished for? Perhaps take one of Santa’s reindeer hostage and ask for ransom? Sounds like a plan, what wouldn’t a man do for his kicks? Thanks Foot Locker for another extremely entertaining ad.

Global trends and Buttershoes

Came across a cool article on Complex Mag yesterday. As part of their Style and Design issue, Complex is introducing new style frontiers on global scale. That is they’re looking into what’s happening around the globe. I like that. Act local, think global or better yet act and think global. Yesterday they released an edition on Hong Kong for which they teamed up with Tony Magnetic, the man behind The Year Of… brand and so much more. Click the picture for the Top Ten Hong Kong Experiences. Something to check up next time you’re heading East. You can also find similar article about Seoul and another one on Hong Kong by Kevin Poon of CLOT.

You remember the Foot Locker ads I wrote about some time back? Well there’s more, the latest Foot Locker ad continues with the same theme as the previous ads with focus on the sneaker freak’s way of life. The ad titled Buttershoes is pretty funny, Butter shoes = everything but her shoes… Butter shoes.

Busy week and another one is just about to kick off, though we’re not slowing down! Stay tuned for more folks, I’m out…

It’s a sneaker thing

It’s just one of those days when galaxies explode, and you go need to use some superpowers and multiply in order to get everything done. Then it’s 7.30 pm and hey, you’re almost done. I love busy days but the downside is that you don’t really have time to sit down and blog. Now writing it’s like my therapy, every has their medicine and mine’s this blog right here. Writing is not for everyone but personally I have found that it’s a pretty good way to channel your creative flow if you don’t have the skills to draw. See, I’ve always loved creative stuff like writing, drawing, painting and building stuff. I just came to realize writing is what I’m best at (out of these skills of course).

Writing and all that creative stuff drew me toward the world of advertising and even before I worked in the agency environments I always knew I wanted to have something to do with ads. I really like the entire creativity of the adverts and the work that goes into making an ad that actually makes people click.

No, we will not be sharing any Old Spice ads (although we probably should). Instead I thought of posting few other ads I found hilarious. Now these ads don’t necessarily work for everyone. I mean if you’re not into the shoe game and not a sneaker freak, you might even find the ads silly. But Foot Locker is really able to reach those who love their shoes. Pictures speak a thousand words, so I guess video speaks a million. So take a look and let us know what do you think of the ads. Like em’ or not, in the end it’s just a sneaker thing.
