NEW YORK, April 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Kids Foot Locker, part of New York-based athletic specialty retailer Foot Locker, Inc. FL, kicks off its newest campaign, "Joakim Noah Says the Joakimiest Things To Kids," with a series of commercials. The first spot, "Secret to Success," begins airing Friday, April 3 on Cartoon Network, The Disney Channel, and Nickelodeon and is available on YouTube.com/FootLocker. A new spot will air every week through mid-May. The additional spots starring Noah include "Name," "Red," and "Mascot," to name a few.

Each 30-second spot opens with Noah engaging in conversation with young children on a set reminiscent of a popular kids comedy show.

"Joakim is one of the NBA's funniest and most recognizable personalities," said Stacy Cunningham, Executive Vice President of Marketing for Kids Foot Locker. "His ability to connect with kids, combined with the perfect amount of zaniness, makes him the ideal choice to star in our campaign to position Kids Foot Locker as the best destination for the freshest kids gear."

Some of the hottest kicks and apparel from adidas, including the ZX Flux shoe, are available at Kids Foot Locker.

"It was really fun getting to film these commercials and show off my personality," said Joakim Noah. "It was a thrill for me to work with Kids Foot Locker on these spots to put a contemporary spin on a show that was popular when I was a kid."
