The Nike Air Jordan 1 can perhaps be described as one of the most influential sneakers of all time, and the Olympics are most likely the most important sporting event of all time. While both of those statements may be contested by some, there is no doubt that the previous Nike Air Jordan´s with an Olympic theme have been some of the best in the brand’s history. Now, the famous Nike Air Jordan 1 is finally seeing its debut in an Olympic colorway, which should definitely meet with widespread approval from all. Nice metallic accents definitely give these Nike Air Jordan 1’s some visual flair, and tie in to the Olympic medal theme nicely; the patriotic colorway is a nice nod to the efforts of Team USA in the Olympics, particularly the basketball team. The days of the “Dream Team”, home of the famed Michael Jordan, the namesake of these shoes, maybe be gone, but the spirit of Team USA lives on at Beijing. While this summer has definitely seen a number of Olympic themed releases, these Jordans are undoubtedly among the best of them; expect them to drop this September.

The folks over at Jordan Brand had a hit on their hands when the Spi’zike was released and even now a year later after it’s initial release, sneakerheads and Jordan fans are asking for more colorways and releases of the Spi’izke. Upon seeing the success of the Spi’zike, it’s possible that Jordan Brand wanted to release more Air Jordan signature mash-ups for Jordan sneakerheads. The next model that they came up with is called the Nike Air Jordan Six Rings, using a little piece of the signature Jordan that Michael Jordan wore when he one each of his 6 NBA Championship Rings with the Chicago Bulls. The reason that this shoe has been so well received thus far is because the first two colorways that are supposed to come out are in classic Air Jordan XI colorways of White and Black and Black and Varsity Red. The Air Jordan Six Rings are now available two colorways, one for men and two for kids, girls and toddlers.

Spike Lee recently visited the Complex office to talk about his court-side rivalry with Jack Nicholson, his beef with Rudi, and his new school for sports journalism.

He walked in supporting his choice for ‘08 as well as some exclusive Spizikes made just for him that he refers to as his “New York Knicks joints”. Spike also talks about how his relationship with Nike and Jordan started and they continue to support him and his work.

Nike and Michael Jordan made a $250,000 scholarship contribution for Spike’s new academic program which Spike said was “basically all the money they made on the Spizikes”. Let’s hope Spike isn’t teaching math at his new school.
