adidas "Quick ain't fair" (2013) :45 (U.S.A.)
A$AP Rocky raps nursing rhyme style about Crazyquick shoes while John Wall, Damian Lillard and Jrue Holiday do what they do best.
The only thing that would help is it had more three stripes. Heck if I hadn't watched it three times I might not have realized it was for adidas.
I keed! The only thing that wasn't covered with three stripes were A$AP Rocky's gold teeth.

Porteur Bike sale
Porteur is a new bicycle brand that has a one-for-one scheme, kind of like Tom's shoes. Buy a bike and they'll donate one. In order to promote their 10% sale, they decided to run the ad where cyclists were sure to see it: On the street. Made from water soluble paint, ads were made out of the road markings pointing out the bicycle lane. Clever use of a timely 10% discount. Because when the ads disappear so does the sale.
Fair enough. But what happens if it doesn't rain or snow in Stockholm for a bit? I realize this is impossible in spring there, but if we pretended climate change hit the land of Vikings, when's the official sale end?
