Barack Obama Receives Jordan Spiz’ikes From Spike Lee

If Barack Obama wins another term of presidency, now you’ll have to ask yourself: “Is it the shoes?”. Just yesterday Sneaker News showed you the Jordan Spiz’ike Custom Box made just for President Obama, and later that evening, Mr. Obama was presented with the special gift from Spike Lee himself. President Obama is a Chicago native and is a huge Chicago Bulls and Air Jordan fan, but do you think Barack will keep these on ice, or will he un-DS them for a pick-up game? If you missed out on last night’s post on the custom presidential-grade box, check it out below and let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
"Mr. Obama" <<?? That's a HUGE no-no...respect that man...where's John K?
the only reason spike gave the President that colorway is because they tryna get rid of pairs..the colorway is so bad that they tryna promote it while getting rid of it at the same time.i guarantee you someone who doesnt know about kicks will see this and buy them just because the President has them smh
GET THAT UGLY ASS COLOR OUT OF OBAMAS SIGHT.
They should have gave him a pair of DS 2000 Concords.... not a shoe that looks like it was made for the jungle jim playground.
Obama will probably put these away, and keep them as a reminder of his Presidency when he goes back to Chicago. He doesn't seem like the kind of guy to rock shoes that are this outlandish. It's a nice trophy, and it's the thought behind the shoe that counts. But again, he's pushing 50, and a President rocking these shoes would just look silly.
You are absolutely correct.
wow spike has a head
This is an insult to Michael Jordan's legacy. No leader of a fascist military empire should wear Jordans.
You don't know anything about politics. Go read a book.
Damn get off his back let the man rock J's
...I don't think the SECRET SERVICMAN,in the background,is too happy about the kicks.
Great box, but the president shouldn't get GRs. He should have some 1 of 1 joints.
The Obama's

& why doesnt sneakernews ever refer to the president as "President"?...cuz he's Black?!?
seriously spike?...this is the best you can do for the president?!?!...smh
those dont look shyt like bordeaux's
he will try them on and actually play in them, then ice them after he finds out how uncomfortable they are, and how bad his feet feel afterward...
these belong with osama at sea
awesome comment!
nice! But I Wish they would have given the president a more classy colorway.... Maybe something like the stealths
mocha 3's would go w/ that shirt & tie combo he's got on
I dub these the barack Obamas
nice ... BUT WHY THOSE SPIZIKE BORDEAUX CLOWN EDITION ???
