O.G. Air Jordan "Grape" 5's..Classics
We at KickGameDVD.COM want to wish Spike Lee a 53rd Happy B-Day! Spike is a Pioneer in bringing Urban Culture to the main stream. Spike was born in Atlanta, Georgia then he moved with his family to Brooklyn, New York when he was a small child. His Fort Greene neighborhood is home to Lee's production company, 40 Acres & A Mule Filmworks. As a child, his mother nicknamed him "Spike" .
In 1985, Lee began work on his first feature film, She's Gotta Have It. With a budget of $175,000, the film was shot in two weeks. When the film was released in 1986, it grossed over $7,000,000 at the U.S. box office. " Now that's a FLIP!".The reception of 'She's Gotta Have It' led Lee down a second career avenue. Marketing executives from Nike offered Lee a job directing commercials for the company. They wanted to pair Lee's character from She's Gotta Have It, the Michael Jordan-loving Mars Blackmon, and Jordan himself in their marketing campaign for the Air Jordan line. Later, Lee would face controversy surrounding inner-city violence involving Air Jordan sneakers!. " You know they have to blame somebody!".
No matter what obstacles he faced Spike Lee always overcame it while doing things " His Way!". Spike Lee, was spotted court side at the Knicks vs. 76ers game on Friday night. Lee sat next to his friend, actor, writer, and director, John Turturro, while former Knicks guard, Charlie Ward, sat behind the two of them. Spike Lee who helped shape the image of Jordan Brand with his various commercials in the 80’s and 90’s recently had a shoe named after him by the brand he helped shape, the Air Jordan Spiz’ike, and on Friday night Spike brought out a pair of the soon-to-be released Spiz’ikes in White, Varsity Purple, and Aquatone, better known to some as the “Grapes”.
