The Greatest Of All Time is having some of his greatest games of all time celebrated through the Jordan Sixty Plus. This shoe is a hybrid of the 4 different models of Air Jordans that MJ wore while throwing up 60 or more in a night. Heavy inspiration came from the Air Jordan 5, but remember, he was wearing those when he scored his career high of 69 points.

Following the overwhelming success of the Jordan Dub Zero came the Jordan Spiz’ike. The Jordan Spiz’ike was a hybrid that featured elements of the shoes that Spike Lee helped promote through his work with Weiden + Kennedy and Nike. Spike and Mike had a number of commercials for Jordans 3-6, but some forget that Spike helped out on one commercial for the Air Jordan 9 while MJ was retired as well as with the Air Jordan 20.
