Michael Jordan and Nike have developed several creative and successful ads throughout their relationship. Peep one of my top 5 above, released after Jordan’s first retirement. This has to be one of the most underrated and forgotten Jordan commercials, pretty much overshadowed by all of Nike’s Spike Lee joints.
Crooks & Castles gave us a preview of the newest colorway of their Crooks x Vans collab. Coming in the new white colorway and black, teh shoe features premium & patent leathers in the upper with touches of a Gucci color scheme on the mid & outsole, as well as the strap. Pics of the black version after the jump.
Murs for President drops on September 30th and is packaged with a Murs for President movie. Here’s the trailer. Excerpt from the video: “Top 5…Jesus, our Lord and Savior, then it’s Socrates, Abraham Lincoln…’Four Score & Seven Years’.. N*gga that was the illest sh!t ever, then Hammer, then me.” Classic. lol. Just peep above.
Music Video of the Day… Statik Selektah feat. Cassidy, Saigon, & Termanology.
It’s been a minute since we’ve seen a new Spiz’ike, and it still may be awhile for us Stateside folks, because the new Spiz’ike release is going to be a Euro Exclusive. Shown above, the new edition comes in a blk/bright cactus/med violet colorway. The new Spiz’ike features a black nubuck upper with cactus elephant print on the heel and toe box. If it’s a must cop for non-Euro Jordan Heads, you can cop ‘em online at Marquee Sole for $320. Click on the link for more pics.
Vapors just released a dope sneaker issue highlighting the culture and upcoming releases. One of those releases includes a collab between Undefeated and Converse entitled “Poorman’s Weapon.” The shoe was inspired by the flight jacket of an Air Force MA-1 fighter pilot. The upper is made of the same nylon used on the flight jacket and features removeable patches as well.

Adopting recent concepts from its other Nike Family of brands of combining classic styles with updated technology (air max hybrids, Nike Sportswear, Air Force 25, etc.), Jordan Brand will be releasing the Jordan True Flight. The True Flight inherits the classic Jordan VII silhouette and tweaks the details with a bit of futuristic style and current technology. Straight, crisper lines accentuate the upper, while the outsole gets a herringbone update, and a Zoom Air unit in the midsole completes the package. European shop Opium Barcelona and Nicekicks gives us the first look and heads up. More pics after the jump.
