Aaron Stoller of Biscuit Filmworks directed this spot for BBDO New York in which Oklahoma City Thunder teammates Russell Westbrook and James Harden chill out at a party. Westbrook inadvertently splats some mustard on Harden’s Foot Locker shirt but not to worry–Harden tears away his full outfit, shirt and pants to reveal another clean set of official Foot Locker attire underneath.
This piques Westbrook’s curiosity as he again, this time intentionally, splatters some mustard on Harden’s garb who indeed likes to keep his apparel fresh, breaking away the outer garments to reveal yet another Foot Locker approved outfit.
Finally Westbrook counters with his can’t miss move, spraying Harden’s beard with mustard. Again Harden is equal to the challenge, revealing that he too also a tear-away beard, under which resides another clean, neatly manicured beard.
“Tear Away” is one of three spots in Foot Locker’s new “Approved” campaign with NBA All-Stars Harden, Westbrook, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh and Kevin Love. The commercials center on the fantastical lengths these guys will go to keep their Foot Locker Approved gear fresh.

Mariah Carey opened Wednesday's doubleheader with a taped performance of "All I Want for Christmas is You" and then the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs trounced the Steelers to clinch the No. 1 seed in the AFC.
