Coincidentally, I was reminiscing on this commercial lately. I still remember when this commercial aired during fall 1997. I remember it because it was the first commercial for Jordan Brand after it was spun off by Nike to operate as its own company, albeit under the Nike umbrella. It was memorable because the XIII was the featured signature in this commercial.
It has significance to me because of the irony with me learning about what wingtip shoes were after seeing this commercial. I learned from this commercial that wingtips were a style of dress shoes. It was so random with me being a Michael Jordan fan and seeing this commercial helped me learn about wingtip shoes. Wingtips ended up becoming my dress shoes.
This will always be a cool, funny and innovative commercial. I really liked the end when Jordan forgot to change his shoes for the 2nd half and Ron Harper asked him about them.
