Skee TV keeps it coming with new visuals for the latest episode of DJ Skee’s series The Skee Locker. In this episode, Skee unboxes and reviews the highly anticipated Air Jordan Retro XIII and Air Jordan Retro I “He Got Game” color way.
Releasing later this month, Jordan retros the “He Got Game” XIII model for sneaker heads everywhere. This color way of the XIII’s acquires its nickname from Spike Lee’s 1998 film He Got Game where Denzel Washington’s character wears them. For this year’s 2013 retro, the upper portion of the sneaker is composed of a quality white leather while the toe box sports an equally fine black leather. Another classic Tinker Hatfield concept, the XIII’s paw print out sole and Jumpman eye-like hologram design, stand out as noteworthy features. Nice black suede can also be found along the mid sole, rear, and at each side of the shoe. These sneakers also come with simple but eye appealing red accents along the bottom sole and Jumpman logo across the tongue.
Continuing with the “He Got Game” style and color way, Jordan drops another version of the classic Air Jordan 1 Retro ’97. With clear hints of the XIII model along the mid upper, the sneaker comes in a classic white, while the mid sole sports black with red stitching. The gym red out sole also comes through and provides a simple yet effective accent along the bottom. Other hints of black can be found along the inner heel, laces, rear Jumpman logo, and tongue. An Air Jordan Hologram and Nike logo pull everything together for final touches on a classic sneaker with a new look.
Skee TV presents the latest episode of the Skee Locker. DJ Skee brings viewers into the Skee Lodge and gives them a detailed looked at Jordan’s newest XX8 model in camo blue and the upcoming grey, yellow, and red Spizkie color way.
Always one to push the boundaries in athletic footwear, Jordan drops their newest model with the release of the XX8’s. In this episode, DJ Skee shows off the new blue camo color way which recently released alongside a yellow and red color pack. Designed to mimic similar features found in sprinting shoes, the XX8’s are extremely light but still come packed with new technology for added support. The high performance sneaker’s external stretchy shroud comes with a zipper for added snug and stands out against a vibrant accent. On the inside, a nice light grey mesh and fuse-like material make up the sneaker. One of the more important highlights is the translucent rubber out sole which provides top notch grip. The bottom also comes equipped with a middle carbon fiber plate for less resistance and more natural movement of the foot. Molded protective carbon fiber can also be found along the heel tabs and gives buyer’s support for quick cuts on the court.
Standing out as one of the more popular Jordan hybrids, the new “3M” Spizike’s are set to drop this March. The upper portion of the shoe is made up of dark grey or charcoal suede with bright yellow stitching to match the side wings. Silver 3M material can also be found along the sneakers front and side mudguard, tongue lace cover and below the famous Spike Lee Brooklyn logo along the back heel. Always a must, this Spizike model comes equipped with a light metallic silver elephant print that blends nicely with the sneaker’s 3M portions. Red hints are featured on the lace holders and jumpman logo across the tongue, while yellow accents appear along the heel air bubble and inner sock lining. A simple black tongue and black laces attempt to pull everything together from the front.
