It’s gotta be the shoes!

I really collected these videos not because they were so amazingly funny.  I’m not even sure how entertaining they were.  Well, yes, they were pretty damned entertaining.  But I was really amazed at how much times have changed.

Even as late as 1992 it practically looks like these commercials were shot in the early 80’s.  I remember 1987 Topps baseball cards like they were yesterday.  Time sure does fly.  And so do the careers of incredible athletes.

Here’s a look at 10 classic commercials featuring elite athletes.
