Reebok’s all fixated with ass when promoting its Reetone but-enhancing sneakers. Skechers has long been associated with hotties like Kim Kardashian and Christina Aguilera. So why can’t Nike get in on the fun? Well, courtesy of Playboy, they can.

Playboy has launched Sole Mates, a celebration of the shoe which launched in 1985 and was made famous by Michael Jordan. Over the years there have been many styles of the show and Sole Mates celebrates the top 23…with help from 23 Playmates, of course.

Oh and yes, just like everything else in advertising, this is trying to sell something so don’t hold it against Playboy when they hit you up for $4.95 to view the entire feature, complete with nudity.
