JUST 4 KIX: A LUXURY TAKE ON THE AIR JORDAN SPIZIKE...





The Jordan Spizike doesn't get a whole lot of love from sneakerheads relative to its retro counterparts. While it's a silhouette that includes signature elements from favorites like the III and IV, the demand for the sneaker just simply isn't there. In fact, even consignment shops don't want it.
Despite this, a high-end brand STILL went ahead and designed a sneaker inspired by the Jordan Spizike. And if you thought $175 was a bit much for the actual Air Jordan mashup, you might want to sit down for this one. These luxury joints will run you $475.
Designed by Del Toro, in collaboration with Miami shop Alchemist and architecture firm Snarkitecture, the Spizike-inspired sneakers, nicknamed "Airball," come in a coke white colorway and a murdered-out iteration. Premium nappa leather makes up the paneling on the upper and a clean gum bottom finishes off the luxe vibe.
If you're interested in scooping up a pair, both colorways are available right now exclusively though Alchemist.
