Skechers Super Bowl Ad Pits Man Against Cheetah

At this point the only thing left to watch come Sunday might be the actual football game. Here’s yet another Super Bowl ad for your pre-game day viewing pleasure. This one comes from Skechers who gives us a more politically correct version of the now infamous 1999 Just For Feet ad.

The ad, which promotes the brand’s GOrun 2 footwear, begins as if it were a National Geographic special. It then delivers a twist. Hopefully the cheetah cause groups won’t be too upset.

An additional spot, promoting the brand’s Relaxed Fit shoe line, features Joe Montana and Ronnie Lot. It’s a more typical Super Bowl commercial with the usual sports greats shenanigans.
