ALLEN IVERSON AND JADAKISS A5 COMMERCIAL APPRECIATION!!!!

[fontaine]

In DC Ai was way more influential thsn Mike. Not even close

I didn't want to say it because mike Stans would come it but in influence


I think AI >>> MJ

 

[Peep Game]

No love the A6 commercial??

That's actually the one I prefer over this.

But 40 Bars >>>>>>>>>>>>

 

[Sir San Diego]

Had no idea that Nike was trying to "sneak" a bootleg AI out.

Paying homage. Without cutting a check and then disrespecting his deal with Reebok. The nerve.

Nike ain't releasing them due to AI threatening lawsuit.

I had the White/Red pair of these. Commercial is still every bit as hard today as it was then.

I coincidentally bought the shoe before knowing about the commercial, so I would always pull my pair out when it came on

Repped for nostalgia

Great post, thanks...

I'm 25... So I just think AI had more influence...

Not just from a shoe perspective.

Attitude wise, he made it okay to be who you are.

Mike never really did that. He was a pitch man.

Also, I never remember people cutting their hair to look ald. AI had dudes with struggle braids and sleeves.

The tattoo craze I think started because of him... It wasn't as big in hoop or maintstream until he arrived.

Also, I can't think of any shoe that competed toe to toe with Jordans in the early 2000s..

Maybe I'm biased... I'm not the biggest fan of ai...

I just think he touched more american kids OUTSIDE of just playing basketball in his short time..

Again... I don't remember mj when he came in the scene in the mid 80s to early 90s...

Internationally, I don't eem know. I hear Kobe is bigger than Jordan in Asia... So I can't call that.

 

[kingfoamnyc]

In NYC AI > MJ when I was growing up. The whole hood wanted to be like him , dress like him, ball like him , talk like him. We just wore Jordan's but we all idolized AI

 

[parada45]

All the AI commercial's were great but this was my favorite

Low key hoping the jersey era comes back

 

[SC kid]

I had the black ones

Would cop a retro.
