“Rodman advertise Jordan is crazy” – NBA fans are giddy with Dennis Rodman’s appearance in the most recent Air Jordan commercial.
The new Jordan commercial featuring Dennis Rodman has sparked a wide range of reactions from NBA fans and sneaker enthusiasts. Released just ahead of Christmas, the ad promotes the Travis Scott Air Jordan 1 ‘Velvet Browns,’ with Rodman making a surprise cameo as a steampunk, Willy Wonka-esque figure overseeing a chaotic shoe factory. In the commercial, a crowd of eager shoe fanatics rushes to grab boxes of the highly sought-after sneakers, causing a frenzy.
While many fans were excited about the collaboration and Rodman’s involvement, others used the opportunity to voice frustrations about the sneaker industry, particularly resale culture. Some fans expressed disbelief that Rodman, a former Chicago Bulls star, would be involved in an ad for Jordan, while others shared mixed feelings about the shoe industry’s practices.
As for Rodman’s personal life, his daughter Trinity, a professional soccer player for the U.S. Women’s National Team, recently spoke out about their relationship. During an interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Trinity criticized Rodman’s fathering, calling him “a person” but not a “dad.” Rodman publicly apologized for his actions as a father, but Trinity dismissed the apology, calling it “A joke.”
Despite these controversies, the commercial and the new sneakers have sparked excitement, with some fans successfully purchasing the limited-edition Air Jordans before they sold out.
