HE GOT GAME. JAKE : “AHHH… HAHAHAHA HAAA” ! SALESMAN : “THESE ARE THE NEW AIR JORDANS.” JAKE : “YEA.. HOW MUCH THESE COST MAN?” SALESMAN : “$139. ONE FITY WITH TAX.” JAKE : “ONE FITY? WHERE THE HOLES AT?”

To this day it is still Buggin' Out. After all these years. That's still the best shoe moment in cinema. My son cracks up over that scene as well. "Yooo!" lol. And then when the instigators start razzing him about his Jordan's being F'd up. Classic stuff right there. Peace to all and stay safe.

THIS ISNT enough for Spike Lee . He’s a legend in the Sneaker community and deserves to be in an episode of the podcast to discuss his experiences .
He was the 1st person to really introduce a culture of Sneakers into mainstream media. No other movie or show was really showcasing sneakers like that.

What a cool memory
Most people don't know how much this man contributed to the legacy of Air Jordans. His commercials with Mike made most of us want the sneakers as much as watching Jordan play in them.

I know right
I graduated from Clark Atlanta University as a Mass Comm major and Spike Lee would come to our department all the time to talk to friends of his that were professors. One professor knew i was into sneakers and i would never forget walking into the department and them saying Spike was here. I ran back to my room and grabbed my Spizikes that at the time just were originally released. I got him to sign the hang tag and the shoe. He was such a cool guy and was shocked i had a pair on me out of the blue. Lol. This was before camera phones (well at least for me) i wish i had a picture to hold the memory

Spike is a living ORIGINAL legend! Film markers are not made like him anymore. RESPECT!
Definitely one of the best episodes. This one needs to be an hour long.
Such a great episode, always loved Spike Lee and he’s been such an impact. One of the main reasons why I wore spizikes back in the day.
SPIKE Energy is Contagious
Spike is so endearingly goofy. It's beautiful.
Thank you Spike for all you contributions to the film and sneaker culture. Without them commercials and movies shaping the culture we wouldn’t be able to look back and enjoy these memories today.
Spike Lee legendary in NY .Great work JLP ,and Complex for getting Spike on air ! Got to meet Spike at airport , on way to see Knicks in Toronto ,couldn't have been a more down to earth brother ! Genuine to the core! He was rockin' Knicks gear on the flight , and so was I ! " Orange and Blue Skies Baby ! Orange and Blue Skies " !
man these stories are the best. thanks for this episode.
Best episode yet!
Such a class act. Thank you, Spike for staying grounded, sir.

Spike Lee…. legend an legendary.✍️
This is one of those legacy pieces. Appreciate these stories from the one and only Spike Lee🔥🔥🔥
Incredible episode. Spike is an absolute legend both in sneaker and movie history. The culture needs to give him his flowers. So many iconic movies and scenes.
I grew up in Bmore Im 59 my cuzzos from BKLYN rocked mostly Pro Keds in the 70s we rocked mostly the Jack Percells and Converse All Stars and we never called em Chucks LA cats started that…
these are the types of interview i enjoy! that was the best sneaker shopping vid ive seen in awhile
I definitely see Spike as the most OG sneaker head. Seeing his pics is really cool. I expected different picks but still solid. We need more of Uncle Spike.
Love it!!!! Reliving the history of the sneaker culture is sooo good!❤❤ Thanks 🙏
Spike is underrated. Glad that he's been able to continue making stuff. He's a true Cinephile and I love that about him.

Spike a OG sneaker Goat. He is literally in the Jordan Ads.
One crazy thing about Spike is not only his influence over sneakers which Joe covered beautifully. He also changed the fitted hat game when he got New Era to make him a red Yankee cap with the 1996 side patch.
The amount of stories that spike can tell is INSANE!
Amazing background stories. Thanks for sharing.
Incredible episode!
When I was young, waiting for the Mars Blackman and Micheal Jordan commercial to debut the new Jordans during the All-Star game was everything.
