Spike Lee and Madison Square Garden go hand in hand, so it’s only right that Jordan Brand made sure he had something special for the moment.
With the New York Knicks hosting Game 3 of the NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs, Lee is set to wear a one-of-one Air Jordan 3 PE made exclusively for him. The timing makes the pair even more meaningful, as New York enters the matchup with a 2-0 series lead while the Finals return to MSG for the first time since 1999.
One shoe features a royal blue upper, while the other flips the look in bright orange. Mismatched blue and orange laces add to the split design, with orange elephant print wrapping both pairs. Instead of the usual Nike Air or Jumpman branding on the heel, Jordan Brand replaced it with the Mars Blackmon logo, a nod to Lee’s classic role in Nike’s Air Jordan campaigns.
Jordan Brand also created a special Knicks-themed box to match the PE, making the entire package feel built for the occasion. Like the shoes, the box was made only for Spike Lee and will not be released to the public.
Lee’s connection to the Knicks and Jordan Brand runs deep. He has been a courtside fixture at Madison Square Garden for decades, while his Mars Blackmon character helped shape the early legacy of Air Jordan marketing.
The Spike Lee x Air Jordan 3 Knicks PE is strictly a one-of-one pair and will remain exclusive to him.
