After a couple decades of being primed by the geniuses at Wieden+Kennedy (Nike’s advertising agency of choice for years and years), it was quite a shock to stumble upon these shitty L.A. Gear commercials from the late 1980s and early 1990s and tumble back, back, back into a world in which your parents might have been every bit as into these ads as you were. You can almost hear mom saying, “Now, those sneakers would be nice, don’t you think? They’re so fashionable....”
 

 
More vintage L.A. Gear commercials than you can shake a stick at after the jump…
