Spike Jonez rules. If you get a chance check the skate vid (Girl/Chocolate) called "Yeah Right"

Co-directed by Spike Jonez, the most interesting and inventive skate footage I've seen. Next level styles.

In a age of tearing Dimmey's ads featuring Merv, that would be a pleasure to come across while watching tv. peaceful indeed! sublime even.

this is another adidas one - not by spike jonze tho - totally different but clever and will appeal to the basketball heads.

adidas make some cool creative and we never see it out here - how good would it be if the spike one made it onto TV and/or cinema.

That Tracy M'Grady (sp) one is awesome...

You catch it on Foxtel fairly regularly, along with all the other sporting ads - Nike produce some rippers as well, particularly the golf ones

Nice ads.

I like the one on commercial TV at the moment with the swimming in the basketball court. Nice effects, but they don't overdo it.

Heh, very cool ad. Love it when he crouches and runs inbetween the two footpaths, beautifully surreal.

I got that on DVD. quality skate vid!

Spike Jonze is my favourite Director, even before he started movies. I used to post produce TVC's and saw all of his stuff on the Shots reels. Some of the best Commercials ever made. If every ad was made by him the Ad breaks would be a pleasure to sit through


Hans, I saw an article on those Adidas 1's the other day. I wouldn't mind testing them out but wouldn't buy a pair. They're more for long distance runners I think. Interesting concept though. (there are definately sneaker heads on here, already a few threads about them.

we're doing a campaign for these - found out today there's only going to be 500 available in Australia ... and Hans is right about the $450 retail.

I would have got a pair for the sneaker freak in me - but $450 - daymn!

And the Spike Jonze ad is going to run locally 8)
