Like Jack Nicholson is the to Los Angeles Lakers, Spike Lee is to the New York Knicks. The New York-native has been a mainstay at most Knicks games and certainly a main attraction at big-ticket match-ups, such as last night’s clash between NY and LA. Spike commemorated this game by wearing the recently unveiled Air Jordan XX8 in a New York-inspired colorway, featuring alternating blue and orange outsoles and inner booties. Will this be a Knicks PE of sorts, or will Carmelo Anthony even rock these later on? Check out Spike and these special-edition Air Jordan XX8s below and stay tuned for more updates.
