Advertising content
### Advertising content

The magazine carries advertising for basketball\-related products, street\-wear clothing and [hip hop music](/wiki/Hip_hop_music "Hip hop music"), and has been credited with helping to market hip\-hop culture and basketball as one.

As of November 1997, the *[Philadelphia Daily News](/wiki/Philadelphia_Daily_News "Philadelphia Daily News")* reported, roughly a third of *Slam*'s [ads](/wiki/Advertising "Advertising") were for [sneakers](/wiki/Sneakers "Sneakers").


Are there any concerns about the influence of advertising on youth culture?
