Spike Lee Exclusive “Knicks” Jordan Spizikes
Posted by Matt Halfhill | May 21, 2008 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. |

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!

May 21, 2008 at 7:24 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.
May 21, 2008 at 5:41 pm

May 21, 2008 at 2:19 pm
This shoes are trash. They look good on u Spike!!!
May 21, 2008 at 2:06 pm
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
May 21, 2008 at 1:48 pm
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.
May 21, 2008 at 1:37 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.
May 21, 2008 at 1:04 pm
I have a few spizikes BUT….I’ll pass on these
May 21, 2008 at 12:45 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.
May 21, 2008 at 12:42 pm
I’m convinced that there are 100 versions of the Spizikes. I can’t front, I’m still waiting for the gray ones.
May 21, 2008 at 12:35 pm
Its nice to see these ugly kicks are supporting people getting an education.
May 21, 2008 at 12:35 pm
im coo off them
May 21, 2008 at 12:33 pm
“Let’s hope Spike isn’t teaching math at his new school.”-Nice Kicks
ROTFLMAO!
This color is bound to get bootlegged.
May 21, 2008 at 12:32 pm
