John
McEnroe will participate in a tennis match with Travis Scott as part of the
relaunch of the 1984 Nike Mac Attack sneakers.
The new
Nike commercial has caused a stir on the internet. The former world No. 1, John
McEnroe, and the singer, Travis Scott, star in a short film titled "Rebel
Like the OG" to promote the reissued McEnroe's Nike Mac Attack sneakers
originally released in 1984.}
The duo is
featured in a tennis and pickleball club, with a cameo appearance by current
top-10 American tennis player, Frances Tiafoe. As Scott tries his hand at
pickleball, a ball lands on McEnroe's sneakers in the adjacent court.
“Get you
a*s over here, I need to serve. Put that pickleball racquet down. It sucks,
that game. Little bit of speed,” McEnroe said.
“Nah. I
ain’t scared of no one for a thousand. Aight, aight. Let’s do it. Aight OG,”
Travis Scott respond.
