The Spizike Air Jordan is a
celebration of the historical
friendship and collaboration
between the Jordan Brand and
Spike Lee. These two are the
main forces behind the Spizike
Air Jordan which is a mixture
of elements taken from the Air
Jordan 3, 4, 5, 6, and 20.
This relationship started in
the late parts of the 80s with
the help of Spike Lee’s
character as Mars Blackman
produced by Nike’s ad agency.
This was also the time when
Michael Jordan became the face
of the leading Jordan legacy.
Spike Lee cannot be denied to
be one of the key ingredients
of the success of the brand.
There have been a lot of
Spizike Air Jordan lines that
were released in the sneaker
world. The very first pair
came out in 2007 with color
schemes of white, grey, black
and red. It was first called
as the retro Frankenstein, the
Spizike Air Jordan had many
critics along with supporters.
Many even thought that it
would be a flop but once it
was released, it was a total
hit! It was so successful that
the Jordan brand decided to
come up with 5 colorways
instead of 2.
Spike Lee was seen on
commercials where he explains
the model features of other
AJs in the Spizike Air Jordan.
What makes it too important
and special is because it is a
great fusion of too many great
and previous Air Jordan
models. It got its midsole
from the AJ 3, the wings from
AJ 4, the uppers from AJ 5,
the tongue from AJ 6, the pull
tab from the AJ 9 and the
rising sun logo from the AJ 9.
Of course its laser etching on
the inside liner was taken
from the AJ 20.
There was also the Spizike Air
Jordan that came in white,
varsity red and classic green
which was released only in the
east coast where they were
limited. Through time, it was
seen that it also became very
popular with many celebrities
like Mark Wahlberg who was
once seen with his son in
Malibu wearing a pair of the
cool grey Spizike Air Jordan.
He paired it up with some
casual yet vintage Celtic
shirt in grey color too
showing his support to his
favorite team. There was also
Kanye West seen wearing a
Spizike Air Jordan in black,
varsity red, and cement grey
from the Spizike series of
‘Fresh Since ’85’. He was
seen after his outburst at the
controversial MTV Music
Awards.
The Spizike Air Jordan may
have always been seen as
something odd and different
than the other AJ models but
it is still one of a kind in
its own right. In fact, in
time, due to Spike Lee, it has
even become one of the most
sought after models of the
Jordan brand. It was just
recent when the Spizike Air
Jordan in black, white and
infrared was released for
2010. It was definitely a
mighty comeback for the shoe
model.
These were actually inspired
by the Fire Red and Black,
Cement colors of the Air
Jordan 3. In fact, many
sneaker news makers and
researchers say that there are
still many to come for the
Spizike Air Jordan line. Then
there was also the Spizike Air
Jordan Stealth version. This
triggered a lot of noise in
the sneaker industry since
many agree that it is the best
colorways that the Spizike Air
Jordan has ever sported. It
came with black patent shiny
leather with some hints of red
and grey. Once again, there
were those that loved it and
there were others that did
not.
With all the wonderful designs
that the Spizike Air Jordan
has had, then many sneaker
fans and supporters can
definitely say that this AJ
model was truly made for all
of us. It cannot be denied
that with this Spizike Air
Jordan, the Jordan brand
deserves much praise again for
doing a great job. Apart from
the average and usual Air
Jordan line, the Spizike Air
Jordan has also been hanging
around for a long time. This
just proves it worth and place
in the sneaker world.

Spizike Air Jordan especially
