Pony Shouts, “We’re Back!” / Mar 27, 2008 / 12:30 am

By Jeremy Ripley


With a new advertising campaign, a contract with the Footlocker/Champs/Footaction family, and a revamped design office and design team, Pony is looking to make noise for the first time in more than twenty years. Above is their first commercial, which features the ultra-famous David Beckham and our very own, Kool Bob Love (well kinda…)!

    Hahaha! Good spoof of other companies’ ads. Is this official? No beef from Nike and adidas?

    Bobbito Garcia a.k.a. Kool Bob Love says:

    haha! yo–that totally isn’t me, man! the bald headed dude in the pony ad is a spoof of luis ‘triks’ dasilva from the nike freestyle commercial from 2001. not for nothing, i’m feeling the pony starter 2008 reinventions. i wore the original starter back in ‘80, although they were the inferior version (or take-down) of the pro model that the nba players would rock . . .

    footnote: Bob McAdoo, one of Pony’s biggest signature athletes and former NBA scoring leader, and I have the same birthday September 25th. Scottie Pippen is on that team, too.

    Bob- Not trying to beef, and definitely not trying to say you don’t know you, but I really have to disagree. The dude from the 22-24 doesn’t resemble you exactly, but he does a quick little dance move with the rock reminiscent of what you did–I could be reaching though.

    Bakar-To my knowledge, this joint is official. Even if I happened to be Nike, adi., or UnderArmour, I wouldn’t really beef–I mean, Pony just ouplayed & outstaged them a bit.

    I’m planning on making a few posts dedicated to Pony’s reinvigorated line next week. They’ve got some cool stuff coming. As Bob mentioned, the Starter ‘08 is really dope, as is the Trifecta in red/blue/white, & the Grand Prix in brown/white. There’s a few more hoops joints coming that I really dig, but don’t know when they’ll drop.

    Stay tuned.
