The “Mars Blackmon” Air Jordan commercials were a lot of fun. But I’m not really talking sneaker ads here. These are shoe ads. Like a lot of great campaigns, the concept was so stupidly simple but also perfect.
The above ad is not part of the campaign. It’s a B-to-B ad scanned from Women’s Wear Daily. It’s only here as a main visual placeholder. Also as a reminder that puns rarely work.
If you would like to see the best ever shoe campaign (and every one of the 80% of my posts that are for paid subscribers only) buy a subscription. It’s $5 a month or $50 a year. Click the green button.
