In 1984, the hot-headed American tennis star, John McEnroe, brought in his own signature sneakers with Nike. Just like his form on the tennis court, the name of the signature sneakers, Mac Attack, describes his aggressive tennis style. After 39 years of launching those amazing sneakers, Nike is now rebooting the seven-time Grand Slam Champions’ iconic tennis shoes with an amazing campaign alongside rapper Travis Scott.
This year, it’s all going to be vintage sneakers making blockbuster returns. Nike is having a retro comeback this year. The shoe-making company is all set to bring the Swoosh. And along with the American tennis legend, the classic OG return campaign will see some notable figures like LeBron James and Travis Scott.

As Nike is ready to re-launch the OG McEnroe sneakers, they recently released an advertisement from the same campaign. The highly anticipated commercial re-introduces the legendary Nike Mac-Attack sneakers to the world. Both McEnroe and Scott starred in the new commercial titled, “Rebel Like the OG,” promoting the Swoosh. While on the other hand, the 25-year-old American tennis player, Frances Taifoe, had a little cameo in that video.
Tiafoe shared the video over Instagram, in which the 32-year-old Rapper was all excited to play pickleball with some of his friends. And while he was serving a short, the ball ended up on the other tennis court that was beside their court.

Seeing that, the American Rapper walked up to the other tennis court, where he met the seven-time Grand Slam champion. Seeing Scott, McEnroe taunted him for playing Pickleball instead of tennis. He said, “Get you a*s over here, I need to serve. Put that pickleball racquet down. It s*cks that game. Little bit of speed.”
The JackBoys Rapper promptly ditched his Paddle and got ready for a hit on the tennis court with the 64-year-old tennis legend. He said, “Nah. I ain’t scared of no one for a thousand. Aight, aight. Let’s do it. Aight OG.”
