Fusion models from the Air Jordan lineup are either solid hits or giant misses. Luckily for Spike Lee, his Jordan Spizike, which was recently revived in low-top form, has been a success for Jordan Brand. Once again, the Spizike borrows elements from an iconic Air Jordan colorway for its latest release.
Inspired by the original Air Jordan 4 Rare Air from 2006 (not the 2025 rendition), this Spizike Low directly takes from the color palette. A summit white hue takes over the base leather panel, seen on the mudguard, toebox, and midfoot, while tonal hues envelop the midfoot TPU cage and eyelets. Cement Grey shades land on the elephant print panels near the toe and heel, contrasting the solid black hues on the wing eyelets, Jordan 6-inspired tongue, and the lace cover.
Pops of yellow, a key detail from the Rare Air AJ 4, first appear on the Jumpman logo on the lace cover, next finding a home on the nylon pull tab on the heel. Spike Lee’s portrait and 40 Acres and a Mule production company are honored with purple logos here. The Air Jordan 3 midsole finishes the design, featuring sail hues mixed with a gradient yellow to pink near the heel, and a black rubber outsole.
The Jordan Spizike Low Rare Air will release in Fall 2025 through Nike and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is $160.
