Eric Koston is so legendary, even Tiger Woods is talking him up.

So says a new TV ad from Nike. If you're wondering who Eric Koston is—he's a veteran pro skateboarder, and a member of the Nike SB team.

The brand is now launching its second Koston-line shoe, aptly named the Nike Koston 2. The ad was created by Kirshenbaum Bond Senecal + Partners and marks the agency's first work for Nike. Nike doesn't have a lead agency for Nike SB, but kbs+ is doing more work for the brand, an agency spokesperson said.

In addition to Woods, the spot features other lesser-known sports celebrities like Olympian Allyson Felix and Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving.
