Air Jordan Spike

The Air Jordan Spizike was made to show appreciation to Mars Blackmon aka Spike Lee. Spike's part in the rising of the Air Jordan was very crucial. A lot of people may remember the funny commercials Spike Lee's alias Mars Blackmon from the movie She's Gotta Have it. Initially nicknamed the "retro Frankenstein", the Air Jordan Spizikes had as many haters as lovers initially and probably a few more. Many anticipated that this was going to be a bust, but when word got out that the first colorway of the Air Jordan Spizikes would only be available along I-95 (as per Spike Lee's request), the hype for these shoes boomed! Initially, the Air Jordan Spizikes were going to be released in only the first two colorways, but after the more than warm reception to the first colorway, Jordan Brand fast tracked 5 new colorways including one that is themed after another hot Spike Lee joint, "Do The Right Thing." Spike Lee produced or appeared in commercials reciprocating to each model represented on the Air Jordan Spizikes. What makes the Air Jordan Spizikes so special is the fact they are made up of a total of six different Air Jordan's, the Jordan III (midsole), Jordan IV (Wings), Jordan V (Uppers), Jordan VI (Tongue), Jordan IX (Pull Tab) also every Air Jordan Spizike to release (besides the White/Varsity Red-Classic Green) has the Jordan rising sun logo at the heel which originally release on the Jordan IX, and last but not least the Jordan XX (Laser on the inside liner).
