Jordan Spiz'ike

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Michael Jordan and Spike Lee released the Jordan Spiz'ike shoes on October 21, 2006,[1] as a tribute to their historic relationship.[2] The relationship began when Mars Blackmon (a character from Spike Lee's film, She's Gotta Have It) became the primary pitchman in Nike commercials for Air Jordans.

The Spiz'ike is a mash-up of the Jordan III, IV, V, VI and XX shoes. Only 4,023 pairs were made of the original release,[2] with all of the proceeds going to Morehouse College.[citation needed] The number 40 represents Spike Lee’s film company, 40 Acres & A Mule Filmworks, and the number 23 represents Michael Jordan's jersey number.[citation needed] Each future release of the shoes varied the colors used.[1]
