Is Jordan Brand getting more creative with the hybrids? We have all seen the Air Jordan Spizike, but the Jordan Spizike “Do You Know” features three colorways of the popular Air Jordan 3, true blue, cement and fire red. For those that do not know, the phrase “Do You Know” was made popular by Spike Lee aka Mars Blackmon with his Jordan commercials back in the late 1980s and bleeding into the 90s. The insole features “Do You Know” printed all over, while one lace lock reads “Mike” and the other “Mars”. Specific release date is not known, but we are expecting sometime in 2010.

Air Jordan 12 (XII) Black / Grand Purple – Aquamarine
Some might envy the fact that the new Air Jordan 12 (XII) Black / Grand Purple – Aquamarine are made only for big kids, but women and those with small feet can pick up their pairs. These Air Jordan 12 might remind you of the Air Jordan 8 Aqua, but since their is only small hints of Aquamarine and patent leather is present around the toe box, we can say the Air Jordan 12 Black Grand Purple Aquamarine is in a class of its own. Retail price is $99.99, and should hit big chain retailers very soon

Supra Skytop II Gold
While first reported as a sample, the predominantly gold pair of the Supra Skytop II- that generated a lot of buzz with its world tour- saw an actual release recently. On Black Friday, the Supra Factory413 flagship store in Los Angeles made these available for purchase and did an amazing job at keeping it under the radar. Now your chances at owning a pair of these are once again slim, but we’ll keep you informed of any resellers and/or restocks that would answer many prayers.

Air Jordan XII (12) Retro Black/Red “Flu Game”
No signature line of sneakers has bore the same level of cultural intersection as the Air Jordan. Bringing together sneaker and sport culture as one, the Air Jordan has often seen itself the benefactor of various nicknames based on some MJ’s most dominant performances. The Air Jordan Retro XII (12) in black and red earns its “Flu Game” moniker thanks to MJ’s inspirational NBA playoff performance in 1997 against the Jazz as he dropped 38 points under less than ideal circumstances battling the flu. The retro carries the same familiar color-blocking that made the shoe such a stand-out of the era alongside some tributes to MJ’s 38 point feat such as the touches on the heel and tongue. Available now at Kix-Files.
