Nike calls on King James for its new “Rise” campaign. In this new 90-second spot, Lebron James or rather Nike helps Lebron rehabilitate his image after last summer’s widely publicized “Decision”. The spot asks, “What should I do?”…to which I say “Just Do It”. Real clever NIKE! Talk about a great PR tactic on addressing his critics and even admitting his “wrongs”.

…Should I admit I made mistakes?
Should I really believe I ruined my legacy?
Should I tell you I am not a role model?
Should I be who you want me to be?
Maybe I should just disappear? …


Hands down a very compelling ad spot…one consumers will definitely relate to. But we’ll see how he and the rest of Miami Heat play against the Celtics tonight.


“…Still like Air, I Rise!”

The Louis Vuitton Don is branching out into designing footwear…again, by launching his own line of loafers. Kanye West has teamed up with shoemakers Stubbs and Wootton, who are known for their European-styled slippers and loafers. Stubbs and Wootton owner Percy Steinheart dished to the NY Post,

“We were honored that he approached us to do something together. We do a lot of crests. And (Kanye) loves crests.”

Kanye’s line is set to hit store shelves in Spring 2011.

Will you be coppin’ Yeezy’s loafers?
