For the second year in a row, Dwight Howard and the Orlando Magic will square off against the division rival Atlanta Hawks in the NBA Playoffs. For Howard, the trip to Atlanta also serves a homecoming. Not only was Dwight born in Atlanta; he was raised there as well. He started taking basketball seriously at age 9 and dominated his way through rec leagues and high school en route to the Naismith Prep Player of the Year Award, Morgan Wootten High School Player of the Year Award, Gatorade National Player of the Year and the McDonald's National High School Player of the Year in 2004.
Since then, Howard has taken his show to Orlando, where he's become the league's top center and a perennial All-Star. However, he hasn't forgotten where he came from and what it was like to grow up a dreamer in Atlanta. To celebrate Dwight's journey and the launch of the new adidas Originals adiColor line, the brand has unveiled their newest TV spot featuring the Orlando Magic center.
Mainly featured in the spot is the "adiColor Pack" Hard Court Hi, which is currently available to purchase at Champs retailers nationwide. The adiColor Hard Court Hi is inspired by the Vintage Decade Hi, a model adidas launched back in 1985. To salute the originals classic, adidas is releasing 6 new high-hop styles. Including sneakers and track suits, you can pick up the adidas Originals adiColor Collection over at Champs.
Check out the new spot below, which features "Freaks and Geeks" by Childish Gambino as a backing track.
