Jordan is gearing up for the Fall season, and with Mexican Independence Day right around the corner in mid-September, Jumpman is prepping a special pack to celebrate the holiday. This week, we get images of a white snakeskin Spizike Low coming in the Mexican heritage-themed El Vuelo pack.
The Spizike Low El Vuelo takes on a full foot of a variety of textured white snakeskin prints in what we can only imagine is a tribute to ornate Mexican cowboy boots. Hits of red on the heel, lace toggle, and pull tab add bits of flair, and a bright green Jumpman logo on the insole completes the red, white, and green of the Mexican flag.
The Spizike, a fusion Jordan made for Oscar-winning director and Jordan spokesman Spike Lee in 2006, has taken on countless colorways (both legit and bootleg) in its not-quite-consistent 19-year run, to mixed reviews. The El Vuelo Spizikes keep Spike in mind, with two distinct heel logos, one featuring an image of Spike's classic Mars Blackmon character and the other with the logo for Lee's production company, 40 Acres and a Mule Filmworks.
A successor to last year's Mexican Independence Day Jordan 5 El Grito release, the Spizike joins a red, white, green, and elephant print Jordan 3 in the El Vuelo Pack. El Vuelo translates to The Flight in English, a potential shoutout to the World of Flight store inside Nike's Mexico City flagship store.
The Air Jordan Spizike Low and the rest of the El Vuelo Pack will release Fall 2025 through Nike and select Jordan Brand retailers online and in-store. No exact release date is set, but with Mexican Independence Day falling on September 16th, we're keeping our eye out for that week. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $170.
