Air Jordan Spizike: 2006

In the Fall of 2006, Brand Jordan released the Air Jordan Spizike (Spiz’ike) which were loved and hated just as much. The word hybrid was rarely used at that time but many called them the Air Jordan “retro Frankenstein”. The official name is written “Spiz’ike”, which in itself was a hybrid, Spike in the first half and Mike in the second half of the name. Spike is of course, the in famous Spike “Mars Blackmon” Lee who is the inspiration for this hybrid sneaker which features the Air Jordan III, Air Jordan IV, Air Jordan V, Air Jordan VI and Air Jordan IX. Here’s run down of the parts:

Air Jordan III - The sole (midsole and outsole) and the elephant print (redesigned to spell out “Spike”)
Air Jordan IV - “Wings” strap on the sides of the shoes that hold lace loops
Air Jordan V - Uses the silhouette of the AJ5 as well as the netting on the side.
Air Jordan VI - Features the tongue and lace locks
Air Jordan IX - Back tab

Clash of the Kicks - Air Jordan True Flight Blk/Red/Yellow Vs. Wht/C. Blue

The year 2008 marked the end of the number Air Jordans (1-23) and ended with the instant classic Air Jordan 11/12 Countdown Package. Many Jordan collectors were uncertain about the future of Jordan Brand. With mixed feelings about the unveiling of the Air Jordan 2009, the Air Jordan True Flight is certainly a model that is sure to be a hit among Jordan fans.

The Air Jordan True Flights are a supercharged version of the Air Jordan 7 with a higher cut, added Zoom Air and herrigbone pattern on the outsole for superior grip. The Air Jordan True Flights are set to release in many classic color-ways throught the Spring/Summer season, some classic Air Jordan 7 color-ways (Flint Grey, Black / Maize, Cardinals) and few new ones. Here are two color-ways set to release this weekend:

• Air Jordan True Flight - White / Court Blue (Flint Grey)
  
• Air Jordan True Flight - Black / Yellow

This week’s Clash of the JORDAN puts the first two color-ways head to head in an extreme showdown. Who is the winner? You decide…
