There might not be anything more New York than a Spike Lee joint, but if there is, it’s counter-service Chinese food busting out the sides of a styrofoam container. While the famed director basks in the positive reviews of his latest movie, Highest 2 Lowest, starring Denzel Washington and A$AP Rocky, Jordan Brand is dropping an iconic NYC colorway of Spike’s beloved signature silhouette, the Spizike.
The beef and broccoli Spizike wok-fries the upper in buttery dark brown suede that wraps around the entirety of the shoe. Above that, the rest of the upper is olive green with a hit of shine on the tongue cover. To round it all out with Jordan accents, there’s black elephant print on the toe panel and heel counter. The midsole, TPU cage, and tongue are all black, with the only real pop of color coming from bright red Jumpman logos on the lace covers. Keeping with Spizike tradition, the back of the shoe features Lee’s 40 Acres and a Mule production company logo on the right shoe, and his Mars Blackmon character on the left.
