The Spiz'ikes were made as a tribute to the two's relationship which began when Mars Blackmon - A character from Spike Lee's movie 'She's Gotta Have it' - became the pitchman in the Nike's commercials for Air Jordan. Only 4,567 pairs were made for the original release. There were only two major colourways at this time which were white and black. Each future release had different colourways. The Gym Red Spiz'ikes were launched October 20th 2012.
Even seven years later since the Jordan Spiz'ikes debut they still continue to be up there with the legendary models.
Air Jordan XI Bred -Black, Red and White more commonly known as Bred 11's. Michael Jordan was often found wearing these on the court when they were first released in 1996. They were then re-released in 2001, and then again in 2008 in a CDP (countdown pack) along with the Playoff 12's. They were also then re-released in December last year. The 11's were restocked on Saturday March 23rd 2013 due to high demand.
Fortunately because the 11's have a coloured sole and dark uppers, this has prevented aged-yellowing which was seen in the Concords and Columbia's due to their sole being transparent.
