“I instantly thought about the many pockets of people that wear Chucks – like skateboarders, soccer moms, kids down the street, guys in the neighborhood I grew up with – and I wanted to put them in one place, that was important to me," Tyler said about the ad in a press release. "Everyone wears Chucks…including pirates.”

Most recently, Tyler's latest album Call Me If You Get Lost debuted at No. 1 earlier this month, and has produced a number of singles including "LUMBERJACK," "WUSYANAME," "CORSO," and "LEMONHEAD."
