donatello. i got in a car accident when i was 6 years old. i was playing with the donatello toy where the shell opened up and you can make it into a baby turtle. when the accident occurred (turns out we got cutoff by a big rig) i was sitting in the middle of back seat but then i was thrown between the dashboard and the windshield. first thing i saw when opened my eyes was donatello but shell was broken off, and i started crying because of that. during my stay in the hospital, one of the nurses bought me a new donatello turtle, but it was the one where you could pull a plastic strip through the back shell that had a speaker and itll say a line from the cartoon. almost 30 years later, i still remember the kindness of the nurses. they let me eat ice cream and watch tv all day.

The presentation package is top notch! Too bad that once again, Nike decides that something as iconic as this shouldn't be made available to the masses. We know these 100 pairs will end up with resellers

Spiz’ikes had people in a chokehold, I believe when they first came out it was the most expensive Jordan (If not the most expensive hybrid). Retro’s were very scarce back then as far as releases go & we were hyped whenever a new spiz’ike color would come out. The Coolgrey’s had people in a frenzy!!

Yeah me and my bro copped the bred pair with patent leather. Sick ass shoes. He still has his. Those were mids too. Way better

Clap it up for the history lesson on 40 acres and a mule! Love it

The cut to Majin Vegeta caught me off guard. Had a great laugh there. Favorite Turtle is easy, Raphael. As a very young child, I learned to repeat swear words thanks to 1990's movie Raph.

Everyone loved the Spizikes in 2006 and dubzeros. Good times.

I remember on the song “Home Alone” by Dom Kennedy, he said “OG Gucci jacket with the Spizikes” in like 09-2010, they we’re definitely popular back then. And my sister had the cool great and black pair haha. They were clean!

Giancarlo Esposito is a goat. Great video guys!

The spizike lows this year are probably my “surprise” favorite shoe of 2024 💯💯 Absolutely love them and so happy they brought a low out, and I think it’s 100 times better than the highs (and this is coming from a 40 y/o sneaker head….aka I was around for the originals) I have 3 pairs of the lows already 😂 For what it’s worth though, I know Chris said you could possibly go down 1/2 in these as they have same tooling as the J3 but I would def recommend trying them on before you do that. The first pair I got I grabbed my usual Jordan 1/3/4 size 11 and I found the the foot bed to be fine lengthwise, but the upper was just too tight even when I relaced with the lower sets of holes at the toe. They just pinched. (Note: I do have a flat, ever so slightly wide foot- usually doesn’t effect anything to merit a size change though) But as I’d already worn them trying to loosen them up, they were worn past the point of being able to return. So I got a shoe stretcher device off Amazon and put it in the forefoot over night and it fixed it, and I’m sure they will continue to break in and loosen as I wear them. But the next two pairs I grabbed an 11.5 instead and they’ve been much more comfortable- perfect really. Weird considering an 11 on a J3 is on point. I just think the upper on these are narrower (especially in forefoot) than the 3’s (or even 4’s tbh too) So just a word to the wise to be mindful when selecting a size on these. Another dope video @Weartesters ….thanks for sharing this special pair with the rest of us! Def would be a must cop if they were releasing! 🔥🔥

love the content, keep it up guys!

Also, the Spizike is low key a very slept on shoe, the all black version is tough.

Thanks for the great description as always!!

I have the spizike oreo for about 10 years and i never noticed they have words in the elephant print. I would never find out without these video. Crazy!! Love these shoes and love the film even more. Great video! Thanks!

Could never roast you for not knowing. You are by far the best creator when it comes down to sneaker history. I literally watch all your videos just because of the phenomenal content. Its refreshing to see an actual sneaker head who loves it all. I literally get the biggest smile on my face when i get a notification stating you uploaded :D

Thanks for answering my question!

Love these. I remember when everyone wanted the spizikes. My first ever tattoos were ‘Love’ and ‘Hate’ on my inner arms. Got them right after I watched DTRT in film class.

Cool video. Thanks Weartester family

So glad you set the record straight this sneaker was the shit back i n the day i remember it sold out of the 2 original colors on footlocker i was so pissed , there is a narrative a certain youtuber from the atl always hating on six rings and spizikes he was not in the sneaker game the way how he speaks back in the day im so glad you put respect on it by the way there was the spizike lows that came out recently the white and navy

Need at least one Spizike after learning about the Spike Lee story. I loved Da 5 Bloods

Damn I really wanted these! Love the whole presentation and the model

one of my fav reviews lately. dope shoe and great history write up, yall are truly for the culture

Facts, didn’t think you’d review these but man these gave me crazy nostalgia especially since all those lows have been releasing

Man the entire presentation is sweeeet!

Yes. Reviews! Jordan’s!🎉

I had to go half size up in these.Spizike low line. They weren't too comfortable. I wear 11 in Miltary black, Industrial blue 4s but a 11.5 in any craft 4s for reference. Had to go up to size 12 for these.

The Shape of these low cuts are the big seller for me 🔥🔥🔥 I just got a pair of the white/Metallic Gold

Bummer that these are limited. Awesome review as always. 🔥 Raf for me, and I grabbed a pair of those superstars. 👌🏽

Spizikes true blue were my first jordan shoe that got me into the retros !

Great video as always! I saw a picture of Spike with these on a couple days ago and I kinda got hyped because a low version inspired by the first two colorways is a great idea. I truthfully don't know if I would've picked them up even if they were widely available, so the 100 pair run is whatever to me. Great details throughout the shoe and packaging though. As for my favorite turtle, I'd give it to Donatello. I'm not much of a TMNT fan so I don't have any deep reason for it, I think I just tend to like characters that don't get a lot of spotlight time.

Waiting on Son of Mars highs again personally.

Spizikes definitely solid and we waited in line for them in middle school and high school, the original white and black ones was always fire, the true blue ones, the Nelly ones and the cool Greys people went crazy over

Now those are 🔥

the Spizike , the more I see it, the more it grows on me Leo was my favorite, just cause of the dual blades... it left an impression on me where any character that has dual blades, i have a biases towards them

Never wanted a pair of the Spizike’s but I really like these

DAYUM!!!!!! Those are awesome!!!!! The packaging is so well put together too!!! Personally I wish the back representing the 9s weren’t jeweled but more like an embossed thing for longevity purposes…I can’t seem to describe it….I see it in my head, never mind. Still love everything about this! Good luck to the 100 that will have them. I especially loved the fact that Chris took us on a trip…remembering parents of the movie!! As for the question of the day, Donny has always been my guy…ever since the launch of the original toy line! Love seeing all the different takes throughout the years as well. Actually I really like the different physical changes Donny and Ralph have received over the years, but that wasn’t the question.

Yay!! Saturday Weartesters video!! ❤❤❤❤ This release is awesome. I know it won't be a general release, but i guess we can wait 5-10 years and Jordan Brand will release it without the the "do the right thing" touches haha

Not gonna lie, I’ve copped all the spizike lows this year. I have enjoyed wearing them. They feel pretty good on feet as well. Some of the colorways definitely have “better” craftsmanship than others but have been blessing my rotation

Just re release the Colombian 4ssssssssssssss with the little stitching on the laces and maybe some extras

Donatello, for sure. And while I also don’t usually buy collabs like this, I did really like the Home Alone 2 Adidas Forum Lows from a couple years ago. That colorway was super clean, and the Home Alone allusions on them very really subtle.

Raff! I had the action figure back in the day

Tattooed love on my right leg when I was a kid, was going to put hate on the other leg but hurt too much lol. This movie was awesome

Radio Raheem 2s are the only DTRT homage I need.

I feel like we all love Mikey and Donny as we get older😂 especially in the newest movie

Great sneakers!

I had these.and try em playing basketball in em too they are great 😃👍

Was just wearing the blackcat colorway at a family event today. I hope the spizike lows keep coming. I'd really like the highs to make a comeback, but I'm not foolish enough to hold my breath. QOTD: I'm a viewer who is unbound by the rules... they are all my favorites. The pizza perfectly represents this; a slice, alone, is wonderful, but it gets it's magic from the whole pie.

What they should release are the Buggin Out sample 89 Jordan’s, without fake scuffing on the toe, and with the perforated leather at the base of the tongue like they actually had in the movie.

Leonardo has always been my favorite turtle. He's like a mixture of Batman and Captain America. He's stoic, courageous, selfless and caring, all things that I admired to become as a grown up. I"ll have to go with the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon from the 80's as my favorite. It was always The Real Ghostbusters and then Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles all day everyday when I was a youngling, and it still is.

Lovely!

I wasn't a big fan when they originally released, but every new colorway that has released. They are nice

Since my name is Salvatore (Sal) I need to get my hands on that Sal’s Famous sticker😂 shame the pairs so limited

I want a pair!!!!! Just hoping I hit on the raffle

They look dope. Mikey.

Donatello was and is the best turtle. The kid in me had to purchase the Shell Toes and the packaging was like opening a toy way back then (I still collect toys but dont open most of them.) Sadly the other 2 haven't released in the US yet.

Oh bleedeth my Brooklyn heart. Lows to a package I only have the messenger bag left. I should've went to the block party but it rained. That's a good shoe I'll never have. Dude, Michaelangelo... the coolest cartoon character ever next to Roadblock from GI Joe

I love spizikes in AJ og colorways or the closest to them! Is a slick shoe without a doubt. My favorite turtle has always been Donnie, since the 80s cartoon and then my fav too to play with in the arcade game.

Nice vid

Do The Right Thing is in my top 5 all time favorite films but I can’t get with these when a simple pair of scuffed cement 4s would make so much more sense.

I wish I could pick these up, and my favorite TMNT is Michaelangelo

Also, I really like these. I’d totally cop them if I had a chance! Love the movie, and they nailed this colorway.

Donny is my Favorite!

Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is so underrated. The animation and characterisation of the turtles is so good and refreshing. Highly recommend any tmmt fan to give it a try

They’re making a rated r last ronin live action film! Idk how it’s gonna go but I’m excited and also a last ronin video game! It’s getting a lot of love lately lol

These are dope, I like the kids ones I might get for my kids

These are dope, i wanna wear them

These are nice. I'ma pullout my WC Spizike highs from 2017. They're up now $400-$500 in my size. Definitely Leo. Nito ryu is hard to beat.

Would love to get a pair of these. But only 100 pairs will make it cost prohibitive from resellers. But even better would be a similar celebratory release of the Air Trainer 3 Medicine Ball that Spike's character wears in the movie.

Mikey any day. Twice on Sundays 😅

Great video, great tribute to DTRT! It's a big time miss by Nike to not release these on a larger basis. It seems that lately, Nike does not know how to get out of their own way! Nike, listen to your clientele!

The spiz'ikes are a very cool and interesting hybrid shoe. I honestly wish that JB/Nike would re-release them in the high top form. I would buy the black pair up real quick. This limited version is very awesome looking. And just as I thought about Googling the meaning of 40 Acres & A Mule, Chris mentions it lol. Thanks for that. Being that my favorite color is red, I would say Raphael would be my favorite turtle. I was hella nerdy and awkward as a kid, I often wished that I could be the complete opposite lol

ThT movie is 3yrs older than me

I agree with Chris about the turtles. I’m the same way because I’m all four. Agree with cartoons

THEY NEED TO BRING BACK THE DTRT 3

First movie that I recall being moved by.

Mikey and Raphael

Heard you guys are trying to get DeRozan

Leo. ...I had the OG toy...and Da Vinci is my fave artist. From the comics...Ralph Shoes are cool, but only if they raffle them off and give the money to people in need.

I like em 🔥🔥🔥

do you have any recommendations for decreases for sneakers? any brands?

Leaving my question again, since it was ❤ed by you two... QUESTION: If you could have one shoe come back every 2-3 years with necessary interior tech/luxury improvements... What would that shoe be?

Ralph 2003,2012,80s What would you do to change or improve the team Jordan from a marketing standpoint ?When we were growing up the team jordan members actually wore the shoes as well as the flagship

These are dope

"So exciting, Like Do the Right Thing"

Man this Sacramento heat is crazy…..112 today. Michealangelo was always my favorite ninja turtle cus my name is Angelo lol. I’ve seen all the movies but I’m only familiar with the original animated series. I still wear my Spizikes but had to put them up because of the cracking paint….these kids now don’t like anything unless it’s on Tik Tok 😂…..one day they’ll be hype again since things always come back around and are considered “cool” again.

It’s a damn shame that they made them so limited.

I keep two Jamaica bracelets in my white Jordan 4’s

Off the top, I’ll ride for Donatello. But I’m with you, I love all four of them.

This guy knows his shxt 🫡

I've always been a Leonardo Fan

Surprised they didnt do it for the jordan 4 since the main character wears the “white cement 4s” in the movie if im not mistaken. Also never seen a person wear spizikes.

AlgoGang

Maybe I am such a stickler so Leo is my favorite turtle.

Chris is in such pain from some of these QOTDs

These are so dope. Spiz’ikes were 🔥👍🏼 back in 06-2010. The first two that released are still grail status for me. Mikey is my favorite turtle. I feel like my personality is like his. But….. I can turn into Raphael real quick. lol

Oh hey guys I have a suggestion for an easy review that would probably get traction. Angel Reese has been wearing the Reebok Solution since entering the WNBA. Y’all should grab a pair and discuss its history and its viability as a modern basketball shoe. You could mention her in the thumbnail and title to drive engagement.

I’d take a rerelease of the do the right thing 3s

I prefer Leonardo , maybe because of the color blue

My first thought when I saw the thumbnail was I hope there's no smudge from a footprint on the right shoe. Whew! Agree-- release these for wide release, Nike!

I like Spiz’ikes…I have some true blues! Mikey is my fave TMNT! Let’s go!

I was team Raph all the way as a kid ❤️🐢
