Product Details

The best on Mars.

Supposedly, when Spike Lee got the call to appear alongside Michael Jordan in an Air Jordan ad campaign, he thought it was a prank.

But it was no joke. His character Mars Blackmon had inspired such worldwide love of MJ's Nike collaboration that the famous director was invited to co-star alongside MJ, leading to a series of fun and quirky ads such as this one. Dating to 1988, it plays on the Mars Blackmon character's name by depicting Jordan wearing his famous kicks above the words "The Best on Earth," while Spike Lee appears in character, also in Air Jordans, above the words "The Best on Mars." 

Can you possibly think of a better piece of wall art to hang in your home gym or sitting room? It's simply too cool to pass up!

This ad is custom framed in a 21 5/8” x 15 7/8” natural wood frame with a black opaque finish. It features a custom-measured, hand-cut 4-ply matte in cream, complimenting all the ad tones. Every material used is acid-free and the glass is anti-reflective and offers UV-protection to keep this precious ad preserved no matter where you decide to hang it up. Speaking of which, hanging your newly purchased ad is a seamless task, as this particular frame comes with an additional hanging wire and felt pads for wall protection.

Calling all Spike Lee, Michael Jordan, Nike, basketball, and Air Jordan fans: This incredible bit of brilliant advertising exists at the intersection of so many passions that it's inconceivable it wouldn't excite you!
