Foot Locker’s commercials kick ass right now

Congratulations, Foot Locker.  Your ad campaign is so good right now, that everyone in the blog world is giving you free ad space.

This is a lesson to every marketing agency everywhere trying to sell basketball products.

Step 1:  Get big stars to do goofy things.
Step 2:  Launch your campaign in August when blogs are all desperate for content
Step 3:  Watch your extended YouTube videos of the ads get a bazillion page views.

It’s that easy.  Here are Foot Locker’s three ads.

First:  Russell Westbrook, James Harden, and Harden’s tear-away beard:

Second:  Westbrook and Harden are joined by Chris Bosh and Kevin Love… and a giant inflatable yacht.

Third:  Carmelo Anthony X 5.  The 5th Melo is a little suspect.  I bet Melo 5 passes to teammates.
