About Retro Ad Review

Retro Ad Review is a podcast where we explore nostalgic commercials from the 70s, 80s, 90s, and 00s. We go into the details behind your favorite commercials, from the story of their creation to their impact (or lack thereof). Coke, McDonald's, Nike...we cover them all. So, if you like watching the ads more than you like watching the Superbowl, have a listen! Don't forget to follow us on our Instagram and Facebook: @retroadreview

   Basketball shoe commercials: Air Jordans, Converse, and Reebok

   This is about basketball shoes and the journey we've gone through as a society to find the perfect sneaker for the sport. Hear how Nike, Converse, and Reebok battled it out on the court. "It's game time! Get your Hanes on, lace up your Nikes, grab your Wheaties and your Gatorade, and we'll pick up a Big Mac on the way to the ballpark." -Newman from Space Jam
