When it comes to marketing, adidas will never allow themselves to fall too far behind Nike. The proof can be found in these two particular commercials: Dwight Howard’s “The Mechanics of a Commander” and, after the break, Derrick Rose “The Inner Workings of a Creator,” (including on-point illustrations of homie’s eyebrows & ‘stache LOL). They’ve even got a Hip-Hop edge by using former Jurassic 5 member Charlie 2na in on the mix, getting his James Earl Jones on.
Hit the break for Superman’s ad.

good looking out on the post, Gotty.
Waaay too serious who were these made to target- definitely not for Nick or Disney. They may be too advanced for YouTube-lol
Charlie 2na LOL I laugh only because my boy always called him West Lord have mercy even after LHM was on the “Milk Carton” and j5 rocking the underground circuit.
on another topic A Quickstrike sneaker
Quickstrike means a non advertised Tier 0 or Tier 1 product that will only go selected accounts like a regular Quest Love AF1 Undefeated, DQM, Ubiq, etc
You also have the Hyperstrike an Ultra exclusive limited edition Tier 0 only (usually numbered to 50 or less usually 24). The shoes will usually have special colorways or materials i;e the Gold Toe Quest Air Force 1
Compare Hyperstrike (Gold Toe) vs. Quickstrike

Nike’s marketing techniques have totally changed what was once a “quickstrike.” The Nubuck XII’s were a straight up QS in that nobody knew they were dropping. Nobody. To me, now Tier 0/QS both mean the same thing: You’re not copping w/o a hookup lol.
I wonder if they paid the guys over at FreeDarko for this shit, cause it looks jacked…
