He titled the commercial “Make That Old”. I believe the title itself, those 3 words, tells the audience this is more than a shoe promotion. In the advertisement Curry tells of several things that were said about him throughout his career. He tells of several different accomplishments he has. Curry gives several nicknames he’s given such as magic man, dime

    The use of colorful backrounds shows that maybe this Ad was a little more modern than some of the other ones.
