This ad rules hard and serves as another reminder that Nike has untold money. Even in a recession they can still pull out the mega budget for their “niche” activities like skateboarding. Looks mint, set to one of the best songs ever, and Paul’s switch 3 flip is fucked. Too much.

This made the purists look like disgruntled old heads who didn’t understand the new wave of Hip-Hop, and before you knew it Young Hov had the culture eating out the palm of his hand. (more…)
