Upstart Chinese footwear brand Li-Ning may not have the legacy or the following of some of the other sneaker brands that they share the hardwood with, but it’s clear that they’re starting to make some noise in the basketball market. Already an established brand in Asia, Li-Ning is now setting their sights on the U.S. with the help of some established NBA stars. This video starring Li-Ning endorser Baron Davis not only showcases the BD Doom sneaker, but is also good for quite a few chuckles as we see Baron roaming the streets of New York, basketball in hand, crossing over passers by and mixing it up with some entertained onlookers. Keep reading to check out the full video, chock-full of laughs and featuring cameos by the likes of Jim Jones, Common and Irv Gotti.

I hope the Li-Ning shoes become available in the U.S. soon. I’ve heard that they make a real quality product. I’ve liked the design of all the Li-Ning shoes I’ve seen.

Still not gonna buy them…doubt I ever will.
But respect for this…I wish basketball shoes had more cool/funny commercials like this.
I love the Jim Jones part. lol

It seems more and more NBA stars are “leaning toward Li-Ning”.

In AMERICA, it's a fairly new brand. Talk to 100 people on the street and 95 won't know what Li-Ning is. Unless you're China.
