Doesn't make sense.

It's only an ad.

Doesn't?

People who dance usually train in front of mirrors, to better check their moves. That's possible for skateboarders as well, right? Those guys might want to check their manoeuvres the best possible way.

The thing is that this particular guy loves sneakers, so....

But isn't that more about the skating than the shoes?

It's only an ad.

Yeah I agree, this one's hard work. The other two are superb though!

im still not getting this one, can someone clarify please.

I think its actually saying that the owner of the house likes sneakers so much that the whole house has mirrored skirting boards, an object is needed in the space to show it's reflections, so you know it's mirrors, however the skateboard confuses the intended message and makes the whole thing confusing.

This has been done before! Same with the funeral execution. Nothing original here. Next please.

Back in 2001 an agency from LA called Robaire Hogshead had the idea for Madeline Shoes. Check out... http://www.campaignbrief.blogspot.com/

Well I'll be damned, you're right, they are a direct rip off.

Such a shame so many people feel the need to resort to plagarism.

i was going to say, it could have been a fluke,
but the fact two excecutions are the same..copycats

well could have been nice if only the floor wasn't this way. must be hard to roll on this surface. perhaps a wooden floor like those on half pipes could have helped.
Took me time to get it because of this.
