Do You Know? Spike’s Commercials for Jordan

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCavIpRIZz0 By now, most know the history of the Spiz’ike, which draws from numerous Air Jordan sneakers that filmmaker Spike Lee helped promote as “Mars Blackman.” Since then, Spike’s character has become a pop culture icon, and the Air Jordan line grew into what we know today. Earlier today we showed you the Air Jordan Spiz’ike “Do You Know,” the newest colorway of this model, which features the namesake phrase all over the liner. For those of you not old enough, or too forgetful, to remember the commercials that inspired these Jordan hybrids, we’ve assembled the videos that made this unique silhouette what it is. From the AJ3 to the AJ20, here they are. Click here to see them all.
