Nike continues to march forward with one of the greatest marketing campaigns ever with two new clips from the MVPuppets (and Lil’ Dez). Still riding high from their holiday domination of Blitzen and company, this set of visuals focuses mainly on Kobe, his new shoe (Nike Zoom Kobe V) and, of course, his four championship rings.

Now most people would think ‘big deal,” watch the video a few times and get on with their lives. Except for one fact. There’s no video evidence of the event. Well…there is a video, but it’s locked away in Phil Knight’s store house along with all the quality leather they used before the turn of the century.

…while Puppet Kobe & Puppet LeBron dance. Their puppetmasters showed no semblance of rhythm.

Below the break, Puppet LeBron solo in a commercial, gettin’ in a few curl reps in preparation for 2010. Maybe with a few off season maneuvers by the Cavs, who knows. Read the rest of this entry »

Nike plays one of their final cards in the MVPuppets campaign…unless there’s a hybrid sneaker in the works.
