Madonna's never seen before video from 'Vogue' Footage
"I wear what i want and i do what i want... ASK PEPSI".
Quote:
In early 1989, Madonna signed an endorsement deal with soft drink manufacturer Pepsi. She debuted her new song, "Like a Prayer" in a Pepsi commercial, and also made a music video for it. The video featured many Catholic symbols such as stigmata, burning crosses, and a dream about making love to a saint, leading the Vatican to condemn the video. Since the commercial and music video were nearly identical, Pepsi was unable to convince the public that their commercial was unrelated to the video. They revoked the commercial and cancelled their sponsorship contract with Madonna. However, she was allowed to retain her fee for the contract.[6] Madonna's fourth studio album, Like a Prayer, was released the same year.

It's beautiful but I have never believed this is from a Nike commercial. Nike would never put out an ad that showed another brand (Pepsi) in a negative light. The rumoured deal at the time was for Nike to sponsor the tour with Madonna wearing their sneakers on stage (as reported in Smash Hits). Of course she refused to wear the sneakers on stage and so the sponsorship never happened (funny how she later wore Nikes on the Drowned World Tour). This clip is more like a response to being dumped by Nike and Pepsi, filmed for a bit of fun on the video set.
