New Kicks On The Blog - Online Magazine for the Sneaker Culture

Penny Marshall is for the Lakers, Ashley Judd is for the Kentucky Wildcats, and Spike Lee is for the New York Knicks. Spike is been screaming haterations and hollerations at opposing team players for decades particularly at a certain former Indiana Pacers sharpshooter, but no Knick game is a true Knick game without seeing Spike covered in blue and orange, waving his towels and screaming at referees. For New York’s Playoff run earlier this year, Spike was seen rocking the Nike Air Jordan Spiz’ike in a special PE colorway in blue and orange, and recent developments of the Spiz’ike has shown that the shoes will in fact release to the public. Here we have a detailed look at the orange alternate colorway of the Nike Air Jordan Spiz’ike. It features a mix of tumbled leather and suede, with a tonal orange elephant print and a white black laser graphic inner lining. Stick with NewKicksOnTheBlog for more Jordan Brand updates!

When it comes to the Nike Air Jordan Spiz’ike, you don’t even have to look past the name of the model to figure out where their inspiration came from. Spike Lee has been linked with the Air Jordan line since the 80’s, from the infamous scuffed Nike Air Jordan IV scene in his film, Do The Right Thing, to the beloved Mars Blackmon ad campaign and more. Now, Jordan Brand will honor Spike further with this special Mars Blackmon edition of the Spizike. The shoe features a White leather upper with touches of Black, Fire Red and Blue, as well as some original Grey Elephant print on the heel. To add some extra Spike-related touches, the kicks also sport a “Do You Know?” all-over print lining, a Mars lace lock and a Mars Blackmon illustration on the insole along with the tag line, “Fresh Since 1985” printed below. These are expected to hit Jordan retailers in January

Thanks to Eddie Cruz and his Twitter account we have a look at a sample of the Nike Air Jordan Spizike in Black, Varsity Red, and Cement. This colorway of the Spizike surprisingly has never been released while a White and Cement pair was when the Spizikes were originally introduced a couple years ago. This looks like one of the better models from the Jordan Brand for Spring 2010.
