Foot Locker ‘Support’

“Of course I support her. She’s my family.”

Foot Locker has been putting out comical ads that would appeal to even the most casual sneakerhead for a while now, and the latest is easily among the most clever yet. Maybe ‘cunning’ is the word, because the plot of this video sees a teenage kid welcome his older sister back into mom and dad’s house, only, there are a couple of strings attached. Namely, the laces from the Nike Free Run+ 2 (size 10.5, please) means the unnamed high school hero is looking to extort some extra gifts in exchange for longer waits for the bathroom. It’s family negotiation at its best-worst, but hey, you gotta do what you gotta do to secure fresh kicks during the holidays. Click through to see the video in full and let us know how they compare to some of the other funny sneaker commercials we’ve seen over the years.
