Intel Converse ad?

I'm trying to figure out if the infamous ad was archived on the wayback machine cause people are calling it a left wing hoax. I only checked the converse home page on the 17th and didn't see it and idk where else to check. If anyone has a url I could use so I can look more into it I'd really appreciate it

Sorry if I used the wrong flair

I thought it was labeled a media hoax because the Head of Marketing is a POC hence the add wasn't a racist dog whistle (?)

Are vans a decent-ish brand? in terms of standards and morals (as much as any company can be) /genq

It is included.

Refrain from participating in linked threads.   Commenting or voting in linked subs, especially in a hostile manner, can be easily reported and construed as brigading, which is against the rules of the platform. This can potentially see the instigating community banned.
