words by Steve Jaconetta
*UPDATE* The official release date for these two Jordan Spiz’ike colorways has been pushed up from its original December 31st date to December 24th. For more information, see here.
Well all the United States Jordan fans will be happy, the “stealth” colorway of the Jordan Spiz’ike will make its way over here after all. Not to mention a few other releases to round out 2008.
Originally released overseas in April, the stealth/black/light graphite/white Jordan Spiz’ike was first believed to be coming to the rest of the world sometime later in the year. Then around the summertime and after another Euro exclusive colorway of the Spiz’ike was released, rumors and hope slowly started dying as they were then labeled to be a Euro-only exclusive.
But low and behold the final pieces of the puzzle, the final releases for 2008 has been finalized and confirmed and all the hope lost can now be brightened up with joy. On December 31th it will make its way to the US not only in men’s, but in gradeschool kid’s sizes (4y-7y) as well. You think that’s enough excitement, that’s only the tip of the iceberg. Another Spiz’ike colorway originally slated to be another Euro release is coming to the US as well on New Year’s Eve. The black/citron/pure purple/white colorway will indeed be a worldwide release but unlike the “stealth’s,” these will only be available in men’s sizes.
But before you all get too hyped up, and even before the most anticipated release of ‘08 happens (the 11/12 Countdown Package on the 26th) another shoe that has been a topic of much discussion ever since September. The “Nelly/Laser” Jordan Six Rings LS that was pushed back, then released on a very limited basis, the rumored to be releasing again will indeed happen. So for everyone pissed they had no way of obtaining a pair on October 11th should have a better chance on December 13th.
All three of these Jordan releases will all be limited releases and available at your local urban accounts and Niketowns in December. For all the tech info on each release, click the pictures below. As always, stay tuned to our release dates both here and on our forums for the latest and greatest in the world of Jordan Brand.
*BONUS* The “Nelly/Laser” Jordan Six Rings LS will be re-released on December 13th!
