Spike Lee x Air Jordan 3 Gold Oscars PE

Spike Lee’s connection with Nike and Jordan Brand began with the iconic “Spike and Mike” Jordan ads, starting with the Air Jordan 3 in the early days. The relationship blossomed, giving birth to the unique Jordan Spiz’ike in 2006. One notable model, the Spike Lee Air Jordan 3 “Oscar”, made its debut at the 2019 Academy Awards.

This special edition boasts premium leather in metallic gold, highlighting the Swoosh, elephant print, and tongue. Black, white, and icy blue accents, coupled with a red liner, create a striking contrast. Unique logos on the heel represent Spike’s film production company, 40 Acres and A Mule Filmworks, alongside an oversized Jumpman insignia. Unfortunately, this pair never hit the retail shelves.

Now, the Nike Air Jordan 3 “Spike Lee Oscar” is up for auction, and it comes with an intriguing backstory.

Portland Rescue Mission, aiding people experiencing homelessness and those battling addiction since 1949, received an unexpected donation. A participant in their program found a pair of pristine gold Nike Air Jordans in the donation chute. Tinker Hatfield authenticated the shoes, expressing joy at their unique journey.
