The Air Jordan Spizike may not be the first sneaker you think of when hearing the Jordan label, but it is certainly a model with a special story. The sneaker was designed in 2006 in collaboration with director Spike Lee and basketball player Michael Jordan.
In 2024, the silhouette will appear in a new Low variant. Check out some of the colorways here.
Spike Lee
In 2006, Nike introduced a new silhouette: the Jordan Spizike. The sneaker paid tribute to the Mars Blackmon character, played by Spike Lee, who appeared in several Air Jordan commercials. The 'Spike and Mike' hybrid silhouette combined every sneaker Mars Blackmon wore, including the Air Jordan 3,4,5, and 6.
Spike Lee is a respected director inside and outside the sneaker culture. In addition to having directed several commercials for the Jordan Brand, Lee has also made his name with films such as 'Malcolm X' and 'Do the Right Thing'. A collaboration with the Jordan Brand was therefore a logical move by Nike.
Air Jordan Spizike Low
In 2024, the sneaker returned, but was given a new look. The Air Jordan Spizike arrived in a Low variant. At the beginning of the year, the Air Jordan Spizike Low 'Chinese New Year 2024' appeared, a sneaker that paid tribute to the year of the dragon. The bright blue 'Houston Oilers' colorway and the 'Bred' also made an appearance in 2024.
Now we see some colorways that will appear at Nike in the next few months. The 'Obsidian' and 'Team Red' both drop on April 6, 2024. The 'Coconut Milk' will also appear in 2024, although that sneaker's release date has not yet been confirmed.
The 'Obsidian' and 'Team Red' colorways both use the well-known elephant motif that is a hallmark of the Air Jordan 3, and the sneaker drops in full family size-run. Check out the official images of the sneakers below.
The Air Jordan Spizike Low 'Obsidian' and 'Team Red' drop on April 6, 2024, at 9:00 a.m. sharp. Keep an eye on the Sneakerjagers release calendar for updates and expected releases.
