Jordan Spiz’ike Grape


While most traditional sneakerheads out there have shunned the Jordan fusions, including the Spiz’ike, as it devalues the Air Jordans they’ve kept on ice and it gives them a convenient way to hate on people new to the game, it’s possible this one may be a slight mind-changer, primarily because of the colorway. The Jordan Spiz’ike Grape features the classic colors from the Air Jordan V Grape. The Jordan Spiz’ike sports purple on the tongue and aqua on the Jumpman, so while it’s not the overwhelming coloring, it just might do the trick. Thoughts? These will hit early next year, but you can pre-order now at OSneaker.com.

Michael Jordan 25th Anniversary Rookie Jersey




To commemorate “The Moment The Game Changed,” Mitchell & Ness re-released Michael Jordan’s rookie jersey. The jersey itself is tailored to the exact specifications of the one that Jordan wore in 1984-85. These jerseys will release exactly 25-years after MJ graced the NBA hardwood (October 26, 1984). The Mitchell & Ness store in Philly, NBA Store in NYC, The Chicago Bulls team store, and NBAstore.com will be the only places to buy the jerseys, which retail for $375.Mitchell & Ness delivered one of these jerseys to me last week. Upon removing the dust cover and opening the meticulously designed Mitchell & Ness box, I found one of the greatest gifts/perks that I have ever received. Mitchell & Ness produced 1,264 jerseys to reflect the number of games Jordan played as a pro. This number includes the regular season, All-Star, and playoffs. Each jersey is stitched with a number from 1-1264, to represent a specific game. An elegant plaque fastened inside the commemorative box is etched with the specific details of the date and game. For example, I received game number 879 of 1264. My plaque reads, “Your jersey represents game #879 in the career of Michael Jordan. Game #879 was held March 18, 1996 as the Chicago Bulls defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 98-94. Michael Jordan’s stat line that day included 38 points, 11 rebounds, and 4 assists.” I was hoping to get the game where MJ dropped 55 on the Knicks right after his first comeback… so I could burn it! Oh well…
