The city of New York has been on a current wave of euphoria with the historic Eastern Conference winning streak displayed by the New York Knicks well into the NBA Finals.

Natives from borough to borough are wearing their best Knicks gear in support of a victory lap finish, and as expected it would be superstar superfan Spike Lee who would outdo them all with his own custom sneakers courtesy of Jordan Brand.

Debuted while in his mainstay courtside seat during Game 3 on Monday (June 8), Spike’s bespoke Air Jordan 3 colorway pays tribute to his penchant for always having a balance of blue and orange. Similar to his classic pinstripe suit and signature Orange & Blue Skies tees, both hues get the primary treatment with the left incorporating a blue upper and orange taking over the right. The contrasting effect might be a bit bold for your average commuter, but the award-winning filmmaker did them justice to his eccentric style that always finds a way to tribute the Knicks.

While no word on an official release yet (or ever!), we can only hope these Spike Lee joints are a good luck charm to The Garden as his team sets off to bring it all the way home by week’s end.

4. Can’t wait for the shock drop (puts this into the universe! 🙌🏾)

5. The soles shouldve been different and the orange stuff in front shouldve been blue on the other shoe. Still a fire shoe tho 🤭

6. I don’t think Spike has ever shown his shoe collection but I honestly don’t think anyone outside of maybe Ray Allen has better Jordan collection than him. He’s as vital to Jordan Brand success as anyone imo
