These shouldn't hold any appeal whatsoever. We may have been desensitized by recent Franken-Jordan
experiments that have thrown 1s, 2s, 5s and 7s and lord-knows-what into the blender, as well as being
influenced by recent slushy NYC jaunts where ontime monstrosities like the Foamdome made sense in the
shadow of that skyline. Those shoes in particular just look a bit special for all the wrong reasons out
that context, when transported to our nation's capital. Spizikes however, bar certain office factions who
detest them for their mix and match treatment of some undisputed classics. Then there's those of us who
don't mind them at all in the right colours. Spike's put his name to 'em, and that 40 Acres and a Mule
logo is intact, taking us back to a time of imported African American College League hoodies and Crooklyn
promo hats (word to Buckshot, Ed and Ace) - some might argue that with the likes 'Girl 6', 'She Hate Me'
and 'Miracle At St. Anna' under his Yankees cap, he's prone to a clanger or two, but these are a 'Summer
Of Sam' to us - faintly flawed yet oddly accomplished. Anyhow, enough of the Spike dickriding for a
second.
Big-* boots are an acquired taste - dayglo Baltoros, Superdomes, Goadomes, Tarns and even the
forthcoming Kaiju and Ashiko, and we won't lie - there's been some nauseating spinoffs stomping on the
Jordan legacy lately, but after our hearts were warmed by the late '07 cement Spizike variations, these
winterised numbers take the blend of 3, 4, 5, with this, the most dynamic of some muted colourways,
carrying shades of the 7's bordeaux in the mix too. Premium leather and nubuck, winter-protected
textiles,and speckled high grip rubber on the outsole are apprpriately rugged, as if Mr. T was set loose
on a 6 during a toolshed siege. Some sample shots showed a version sans midsole sheen, which was actually
preferable. the gloss seems unnecessary. But the yellow in that visible Air, waterproofed upper and
heavyweight feel makes them work. A quintessentially love or hate affair. |
