Jones is also the animator behind later Tom and Jerry shorts and How the Grinch Stole Christmas after he had left Warner Brothers.īugs Bunny and Daffy Duck and Elmer Fudd were all well-established by the time Jones became a supervising animator in the WB stable, but he took the zany to a whole new level. Jones was a key member of the Warner Brothers stable of animators and responsible for classic Looney Tunes cartoons from the late 40s and 50s such as One Froggy Evening and Rabbit Seasoning and What's Opera, Doc?, widely considered the best animated short ever produced. Marvin the Martian is one of the creations of Chuck Jones, arguably the greatest animator of all time.

(Some of the players got those same shorts also - mine are a solid bright green still a bold pair of shorts, but not as bold as the ones in the spot which I could not possibly pull off.) And of course the colors are all built around Marvin I now realize. What I didn't understand until the ad campaign was the crazy colorway - my pair is the same as the one Blake wears in the ad. At my age, I might not be pushing the limits of the technology, but with the age also come some busted up ankles, and the shoe was indeed very supportive without feeling clunky. The idea is that Blake is a very quick player and needs a shoe in which he can be quick, but he's also huge and his feet will take a pounding - so in the usual tradeoff that you must make for most basketball shoes, the Superfly 4 is supposed to be the best of both worlds.ĭoes the shoe achieve its lofty goal? It's a really, really nice shoe, and I can say it comes pretty close. Of course the marketing material is going to say all kinds of things about a new product, but the goal of the Superfly 4 is to be both very light and agile, but also very supportive.

But as a connoisseur of classic Looney Tunes and basketball shoes, I can't bring myself to leave it at that.įirst of all, I was invited to play in a media run previewing the Superfly 4's in the commercial. I'm pleased that Ray Samora got the new Blake Griffin/Marvin the Martian ad up on the site.
