I have zero Brand loyalty. I just like nice retro hoop shoes.
Wearing dunks today, might throw on some Forums tomorrow, and close the week out with my 550's. Just give me the retro vibes and I'm content.

You seem like the only person who is even the least bit remotely bothered by this. If Teddy was trying to be cute and steal the ad’s concept without trying to be noticed he wouldn’t have used Jason Williamson who was in the original ad. They are obviously giving props with their own twist, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

I seem like the only person?There are a lot of people that have called them out on their IG over it. We all know what they did, of course they didn’t hide what they were doing no ones calling for a lawsuit LOL but it doesn’t align with New Balance in any way shape or form. They had an opportunity to tell a story based on the brands heritage and instead told another brands story. Not going to repeat myself anymore because it’s clear you have chosen to ignore the point.
Have any of you worked or collaborated with a major footwear brand that had employees that really knew the brands culture? Probably not because if you did you you would know that something like this wouldn’t have gotten the green light. On that note have a wonderful day

to be going pages into this is wild lol
if they really wanted to make a 1:1 copy it would have been a lot easier to do than what they put out, but they didn't. it's not set in an indoor court with all the lights off rotating between a bunch of people to the beat of squeaky sneaker sounds. to get all these different people, shot outside in all different parts of nyc with wardrobe changes, dealing with weather and limited daylight (you can see on some shots it was just after it finished snowing cuz the salt is still on the ground), i don't even think you understand how hard that is logistically.

This line of discussion should have ended when the word ‘tadow’ was used. You all make good points.

The general raffle closes tomorrow at 11AM, so you aren't out of luck. In fact, considering all the W's you might still catch a W on general release Friday in case you don't win the GR raffle. I think people who entered the GR raffle will know if they won tomorrow evening.

Having JWill in this ad is a very, very obvious ode to the Nike ad. Don't see how there's even an argument here.

Congratulations to all who hit on the EA raffle.
I struck out on the EA raffle. Hoping I hit a pair on the GR raffle.
