Spoofing his persona and conducting mock interviews with DC Shoes athletes, James Lipton appears in 18 commercials for the apparel and shoe company. The campaign, created by LA-based 72andSunny, is airing on MTV, MTV2, ESPN and ESPN2. Along with Lipton, skateboarder Danny Way, BMX rider Dave Mirra, motocross rider Travis Pastrana, snowboarder Travis Rice, surfer Bruce Irons, and street skateboard icon Rob Dyrdek appear in the series.

The spots, shot semi-unscripted, are just odd enough to be engaging bringing together two, seemingly, unrelated entities from very different backgrounds making for a funny, culture-clash campaign. The spots can be viewed on the DCShoes website.
