Jordan Spizike Low Obama
Buy at Nike
The Jordan Spizike had its moment in the early 2010s as the silhouette, which was meant to be a one-off special release honoring Spike Lee’s connection to Michael Jordan and the Air Jordan lineup, dropped in many different colorways. One pair, which even made the top of our best Spizike colorways list, was famously gifted to Obama in 2012, the Bordeaux colorway. With the Spizike now on the market in low-top form, Jordan Brand is bringing back the pair gifted to the former president.
The same color scheme and colorblocking are applied to the low-top iteration of the Jordan Spizike, though this version has one slight change. The mudguard running across the toe and back to the heel is now rendered in a darker grey, almost black hue, differing from the original’s light grey hue. Outside of this, the rest of the model is identical. This includes the elephant print mudguard and heel in white and grey, white tumbled leather paneling on the toe and midfoot, and black hues on the tongue and wing eyestay.
