    blacren thats a ridiculous comment there is nothing wrong with the commercial. if the guy doing the punching was black you’d complain, if the guy getting punched was black you’d complain, if they were all black you’d complain so get outta here with that nonsense.

    loved the commercial btw.

    Word! That happens to me all the time. Some people just don’t understand and need a slap.

    Could they have chosen the most non-urbanite,Ivy league whitebread characters on the planet.
    WTF! Once again Corporate America stealing urban culture and bleeding it dry.
    The chick is wearing some hot dunks and the dude is wearing Chuck Taylor rejects. It should have been the reverse. Chucks are supposed to be dirty and for most sneaker heads, your Nike Dunks must remain pristine. Cool concept wack execution.

    He shoulda punched her just for being ugly!

    Yeah, this speaks to me. And when you buy new sneaks, its like people are attracted to the new shoe smell, and bring themselves over to step on them. I live in NY, a lot of people, and I have a temper…I’ll kill.

    perfectly portrays how i feel when ppl deliberately step on my shoes. fuck her and yes she would’ve ether got hit in the face herself or id splash i drink in her face and step on her shits!!

  28. Posted by: mooch on May 31, 2009 at 5:44 pm

    she’s lucky that dude wasn’t a chick, or she woulda caught it straight in her mouth. tricks know better than to step on my kicks

  29. Posted by: derp on May 31, 2009 at 5:33 pm

    Dude…they’re just Chucks.
    Padded collar or not, Chucks are Chucks.
    Would have had a lot more credibility if the chick wasn’t wearing Dunks (or any sneaker, really), just to distance her a bit more.

  30. Posted by: tman916 on May 31, 2009 at 5:05 pm

    Lol! That’s how I feel when people step on my kicks, especially when there’s no one around!!!

  31. Posted by: iFloss on May 31, 2009 at 4:51 pm

  32. Posted by: rals on May 31, 2009 at 4:40 pm

  33. Posted by: PureLogikz on May 31, 2009 at 4:00 pm

    fuck that. she would have caught a jab dead in her nose. and id run her wallet for some new kicks. plus, what kinda table manners was that anyways lol.
