I don't know the deal with the airing of the spots, but they've been around for a few months. I may have just missed it, but I was shocked to find these works of art on KB24.com. I can't believe this got past me.
It's a part of the Nike Zoom Kobe III campaign, titled "Geniuses." There are five different commercials featuring Kobe dressed up as DaVinci, Mozart, Einstein, and George Washington Carver. My understanding is that it's a web exclusive, so that may explain why they've gone under the radar... but I'm still tripping out on why I missed this.
Anyways, how awesome is this?
