You might think Patrick Ewing’s goofy grin at the beginning of this Adidas commercial is funny, but even funnier is the fact that I used to dress like that in the 80s. Ewings, stonewashed jeans, and a fly Adidas sweater. ( I had the green and white tennis sweater and the rainbow colored cycling sweater.) In my day, there was nothing like thumbing through the Eastbay catalog and tripping on all the shoes and colors. Troops, FILAs, BKs, good times.

When it comes to kicks, I’m a simple man. I rock sneakers and hard bottoms, but I like my shoes to be 1 color.. Usually.. When I feel like living a little, I’ll pick up some Nikes or Adidas with 2-3 colors.Back in the day, when I could still play a little pick-up ball, I liked ballin’ in these the most. Now that I’m old and fat, I’m not gonna be ballin in anything, so I just like looking at the shoes and talkin ish.

Stephon Marbury and Ben Wallace get the most credit because of the affordable shoe movement, and D-Wade scores the lowest in the design department… And Nike needs to come out with a new ad campaign, “Just Joking”, with those f’n prices.I didn’t put up the KG, Duncan, and Billups shoes because they’re in the Brotherhood, so all of the shoes are basically the same.

For the record, I would rock the Melos and the Kobe IIs (preferably in all black), but not the Kobe IIIs.

This is better than Dickie V’s Hooters commercial, but I gotta wonder why does Adidas have Vitale hawking it’s shoes? I guess nothing says ”fast, versatile, and responsive“ like a 68 year old man. They should only use one or a combo of these guys:

I believe in 5 to 7.. As in they better get 5-7 more players before they can run with this squad.

Here’s another Vitale commercial.

If I had given this video a post of it’s own I would have named it Faux Dick’s Mulchin’. Too bad I won’t get that chance now…
