Looking for the original source of a 4-second MJ montage (Black or White/L.A. Gear)

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to identify the exact official source of a very short Michael Jackson edit/montage that I keep seeing in fan videos. It’s only about 4 seconds long, but it’s a very specific, repeated alternating cut that clearly looks like it comes from an official source.

What happens in this tiny montage:
  • There’s a ~1 second shot from the “panther” sequence in the Black or White short film where MJ flicks/pulls his shirt backward at the belt.
  • It immediately cuts to a ~1 second shot of him doing the same shirt flick from the 1990 L.A. Gear commercial.
  • Then it cuts back to Black or White, then back to L.A. Gear, repeating the same two shots several times in alternation (BOW → LA Gear → BOW → LA Gear…) — all within about 4 seconds total.

Here’s the exact clip I mean:

PS: The music has nothing to do with the clip itself.

Because this exact alternating edit is reused so often, I’m convinced it originally comes from an officially produced montage (DVD, documentary, TV special, promo, etc.), not a fan-made edit.

My question: does anyone know which official release this exact 4-second alternating montage comes from?
I’m trying to find it in high quality, especially since the L.A. Gear ad itself is nearly impossible to find clean.

Thanks a lot in advance!
 
Thanks everyone for your replies and suggestions.

It looks like I finally managed to identify the exact official source of the short montage I was looking for.
