With all the hype and attention surrounding the Jordan 11/12 Countdown Pack, these two Jordan Spizike releases can easily be overlooked. However, the Jordan Spizike “Cool Grey” and “Citron” will publicly hit U.S. retailers on December 24th, 2008. If you do not get a chance to snag the CDP, would purchasing these actually be a disappointment?

If you recall, these sneakers were first released exclusively in Europe; therefore many have been waiting for them to drop in the U.S. These two Jordan Spizike will make a good consolation prize for anyone not able to get the CDP. Are these better than the Jordan Spizike “New York Knicks” Spike Lee had on at the Lakers game? More detailed photos after the jump. Via LTD-Online.

The Jordan True Flight “Cool Grey” features a mixture of white pebbled leather and cool grey nubuck on the upper. Black accents are visible on the tongue, heel, and shoelaces. The ‘cool grey’ colorway always seems to have a superior effect on any sneaker (i.e. Spizike & Jordan 11).

Now that you have seen the Court Blue, Black/Red, White/Red and the Cool Grey, which colorway looks the best on the Jordan True Flight? More pics after the jump. Via katc.

If you cannot wait that long we have spotted them over at eBay. High price and currency exchange caused these to sell on eBay for $300-$400. If you recall, this sneaker was first released exclusively in Europe; therefore many have been waiting for them to drop in the U.S. These will make a good consolation prize for anyone not able to get the CDP or possibly another blow to the wallet.

Worn by Tim Hardaway, Mitch Richmond and Kevin Garnett at one time, these kicks are extremely cushioned, very durable and provide excellent traction in the form of a solid rubber outsole. This is not a basketball-specific sneaker, however, many people wear it as an indoor/outdoor hoop shoe.

Recently, we’ve spotted them in Footlocker stores and other urban accounts, so check your local retailers asap. Would you consider this a basketball classic?
