Apparently shoes aren't sewn together, they get cooked up -- at least, that's what the Nike x Foot Locker x Cool Kids 'Get Fresh Air' commercial implies.
The Nike x Foot Locker x Cool Kids ad shows some of sports most well-known figures living in a cartoon world. New York Knicks' Amare Stoudamire gathers DeSean Jackson and Chris Bosh via text to go shoe shopping. The three meet up at a deli and start to contemplate what they'll purchase. Ken Griffey Jr. appears as the chef who makes these shoes and cooks up the special just for Stoudamire. All three leave happy, with boxes of brand new kicks in hand.
The Nike x Foot Locker x Cool Kids commercial features artwork from Grotesk and music from the Cool Kids.
