The “Art Class” spot for Foot Locker by SapientNitro features a purportedly nude male model, being described by students as “leathery” and “crooked.” Very nicely done. Second spot takes a spin on the old butterface and introduces the concept of buttershoes.

Adobe for iPad - Need to Step up on Experience

Full review by Mashable is pretty good.

Inevitably and as expected, the videos got views, but following rapidly increased across all channels.
