It’s always a hoot when companies create funny innovative ads that break from the norm in order to get product attention. These Converse alligator ads for their customizable kicks are certainly fun.
One ad features what appears to be a dog’s body with an alligator’s head wearing a pair of white Converse ‘All Stars’ with red detailing, while the other has an unknown Sasquatch. These monstrosities certainly stand out and intrigue potential customers about the product.
