Nike previously defended the ads, but said it would withdraw them as quickly as possible "to underline our ongoing commitment to supporting diversity in sport and the workplace," The Oregonian reported. The ads were created by Portland's Wieden+Kennedy agency and titled "That Ain't Right," ''Isn't That Cute," and "Punks Jump Up." One ad showed a basketball player dunking over another.

BrettyAndTheJets Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Those ads were way out of line. However, there are some new Hyperdunk ads that are really good (and really funny). I saw them at the marketing agency that I work for, and I want to share them! http://www.mixercast.com/apps/custom/nike_shoes/deploy.html Enjoy guys!
