Congrats to the Homie Dez!!

So a good friend of mine Desmond Marzette is one of the heads of the Lebron account and many others for the advertising firm Wieden & Kennedy down in PDX. W&K have handled all of Nike's advertising since the mid 80's and helped establish them as the sneak giant they are today. Needless to say, they make quality ads that range from inspirational to hilarious and they all make you want to purchase sneakers whether you need them or not.

Well, Dez was the mind behind many of Nike's latest and greatest Lebron TV spots and he also wrote the Kobe vs. Lebron 'Little Dez' commercial. (See Below)



The charecter Lil Dez is of course inspired by and named after him and I thought that was such a great look, since he has done some great work for (in turn lining the pockets of) the company and King James. Well it turns out, my dude just got a shoe and t-shirt package put out honoring him.

This might be the coolest thing ever.





Also, check out some of the commercials that Dez and the team down at W&K have put together over the last few seasons. Don't front...my dude earned this recognition. He's put in serious work.
