Spike Lee Exclusive “Knicks” Jordan Spizikes
 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 Air Jordans 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. Peep the video at Complex. |

Its nice to see these ugly kicks are supporting people getting an education.

I’m convinced that there are 100 versions of the Spizikes. I can’t front, I’m still waiting for the gray ones.
Comment by D — May 21, 2008 @ 12:42 pm
LOL Matt you killed me with that line.
$250k…Nike probably made more than that off of the FIRST Spizike that was limited to 4092 pairs.

I have a few spizikes BUT….I’ll pass on these
Comment by abelino — May 21, 2008 @ 1:04 pm
haha. if Nike somehow convinced Spike that they only made a quarter million off those shoes, he needs some new friends. and a new accountant… quick. haha.

I am quite confident Nike and Jordan made much more than $250,000 on the Spizikes - probably closer to $25M. Either way it’s good to see that Spike and Mike still have a good relationship and I can’t wait for the Spike Lee Jordan Documentary.
As for the shoes, I don’t MIND the white, but black would have been better. Seeing Spike throw the white on that panel makes me wonder if he had major influence in the Kings County color up that also had the white patent in what some would call an odd place.

No doubt an all black base with orange and blue would be a nice Knicks colorway…in any event is it just me or does Spike Lee ALWAYS manage to make (even the illest) kicks look corny by rocking them with wack pants/jeans??? WTF

Comment by bkbigjay — May 21, 2008 @ 5:41 pm
If they only made 250K off the spizikes it must be the same accountant that WESLEY SNIPES had taking care of his Taxes! They not bad but that WHITE siding is not looking good with this colorway.

terrible…NO MORE SPIZIKES!!!!
Comment by flyasthesky — May 22, 2008 @ 1:33 am
screw the knicks! but I don’t find it hard to believe that they might’ve exploited Spike by giving him some insignificant amount of money for the use of his name. what he needs to do is come out w/ a celtics pair!

Ugly imo, but as long as ghetto and pseudo-thug people keep copping the spizikes and other jordan trash, the releasing will continue.
