Killa K is such a fan of the Spizikes, I had to make sure these were mentioned on the blog. According to Killa, the Spizikes are arguably, the best Jordan brand hybird out there and they are now getting an iconic Retro colorway. The "Bordeaux" colorway is borrowed from the Jordan VII and now being blended into the Spizike. Although, it isn't scheduled to come out until February 2012, I'm sure many sneakerheads will be excited. Is it possible that Jordan Brand will continue releasing more Air Jordan Retro inspired colorways of the Spizike in 2012? Only time will tell.

"On September 15th Nike created a revolutionary new basketball shoe. On October 18th, the NBA threw them out of the game......"
Back in 1985, Michael Jordan came out on the court in the 1st pair of the Air Jordan's he was later fined $5,000 per game, because at the time, the shoe do not comply with NBA League standard uniform policy. Twenty-sex years later, Jordan has his own brand under the Nike company, and within it a position to create any shoes, some of which make fun of the decision by the NBA in 1985.
Early this month, there was an unexpected release of the "Banned" Retro 1 at Nike Outlet stores across the nations, and sneakerheads nationally were able to get their hands on them.

However, this unexpected release proves that the Jordan Brand will continue to come up with the unexpected. The shoes, come in the original banned black and red colorway, and comes with two red "X" logos on the heel and is package in a box that is inspired by the banned legend as is has the "X" logos throughout.
