Self-Lacing Back to the Future Shoes Coming From Nike?

Right, it’s a little odd for a pop-culture magazine to rank the greatest shoe commercials. But no other company has so consistently turned televised advertising into art. These 11 ads function as short films—loaded with wit, inspiration, killer music and gorgeous visuals. Why 11? Well, we had a perfectly good list of 10 and then we saw this list, which didn’t have a ton of overlap, but which did remind us of the immortal Bo Knows campaign. So we’ve tacked on one of those for good measure.... read more
