Classic Commercial: Converse Chuck Taylor

Check out a hilariously corny vintage commercial for the Converse Chuck Taylor featuring Dr. J, Magic and Larry.

"They're everywhere!"

Besides the Converse Chuck Taylors, another thing that is everywhere in this commercial is amazing '80's corniness.  Watch as a line of wacky kids in multicolored Chuck Taylors form the second best conga line ever on their way across Julius Erving's Camaro, Magic Johnson's pool (apparently Chuck Taylors allowed you to walk on water in the 80's), and down a flight of stairs past Larry Bird in his finest sweater and khakis.  

Although commercials sure have changed (not necessarily for the better, in my opinion), Chuck Taylors certainly have not.  You might not find the rest of their clothes, but you can easily still find all the Chucks these kids are wearing, along with many, many more.
