2017 Kia Optima | “Shoe Store” Commercial

Image
Like many of the official Kia commercials, they use both humor and the sponsored NBA team to promote their vehicles. In this particular advertisement ,”Shoe Store” promoting the 2017 Kia Optima, it uses both of those expected strategies. It starts off with a normal guy sitting in a shoe store waiting to try some shoes on. When the worker comes out and gives him his shoes, it is clear that the size he request, size 19, is way bigger than his actual shoe size. The worker questions if he would like a smaller size and he thoroughly objects, almost acting insulted as if she was crazy. He puts she shoes on you see that the shoes are extremely massive compared to his regular shoe size, but he is determined to wear them. The slogan for Kia commercials for while has been, “Just because you drive the official vehicle of the NBA doesn’t mean you an official NBA player.” As the video suggests, the main guy believes if he drives the 2017 Kia Optima like an NBA player, he can wear size 19 shoes ...

When he gets out of the car, he puts on headphones and acts as if he is about to play in a basketball game—making dramatic entrances and saying “let’s go!” The whole video is suppose to imply that, “just because you drive the official vehicle of the NBA, doesn’t make you an official NBA player.” This funny Kia commercial is a light-hearted and fun way to show off the 2017 Kia Optima on relatable level.

Image
The mid-size 4 door sedan we have all come to know has been in production for almost 16 years. Through countless redesigns, Kia has always stuck to the original idea behind the vehicle; a highly efficient and safe family sedan. It was first released way back in the year 2000. While most countries accepted the name “Optima”, some preferred to go by different names such as the Magentis in Europe or the Lotze and K5 in South Korea. The original model had a little different power under the hood than we are used to today. It had a 2.5 Liter V6 engine. This was the only engine offered for the model back then. For a while, the only changes made to the vehicle were exterior, cosmetic changes such as the new grille added in 2003 and redesigned headlights in 2004. In 2001, the company did raise the bar with a 2.5 Liter Delta V6 engine and again in 2002 with a 2.4 liter Sirius II I4. Throughout the past 16 years, the only place this model has gone is up. Now that we know about the past, le...
