Spike Lee has foot swag.
But don't take my word for it. Just look at his feet.
The perennial New York Knicks fan was spotted at the team's most recent game against the Los Angeles Lakers donning a pair of custom made Air Jordan XX8 "Knicks" Colorways.
In case that's not something that impresses you by name alone, take note that "you can't even buy these shoes." Which is a downright shame, because they're absolutely sick.
Lee's custom made kicks sport a black, orange and blue color scheme. You can zip them up like any classic pair of Jordans or you can bear all, unzip them and let a glorious dose of orange hang out.
When closed, the sneakers have a sleek and debonaire look about them. When open, though, flamboyancy reigns supreme.
Not only is the heart of the shoe completely orange, but the kicks themselves extend up well past the ankle. The material that encloses the shoe also keels overs down toward the heel when open to reveal a prominently placed—and of course, orange—number "2" on one side and "3" on the other.
Clever, right?
Of course they are. They're loud, slightly obnoxious and absolutely awesome. They're also so Spike Lee.
The renowned die-hard Knicks fan is no stranger to sporting bold furnishings. He is not only routinely dressed to the nine in vibrant colors, but his classic jerseys have become both a staple and rare commodity at Madison Square Garden.
Sporting extravagant sneakers is not a foreign concept either. His kicks frequently are equally as—if not more—radiant and dazzling than the jerseys he clothes himself with.
But again, don't take my word for it. Ask anyone who's ever been to the Garden, seen him on television or taken the time to Google his name under "images." A whole mess of pictures with him in essentially gleaming attire comes up when you participate in the latter.
And that's a big part of the reason why we pay attention to Spike, and why those less keen on him tolerate his antics at all.
Because he's one of the kings of swag.
