In 2025, Jordan Brand is set to bring back the iconic Jordan Spizike’ Bordeaux’ in a low-top iteration. This colourway, which garnered immense popularity upon its initial release, holds a special place in the model’s history as it was presented to former President Obama by Spike Lee during his 2012 visit to Harlem. Introducing the Jordan Spizike Low “Obama”.

A Closer Look At The Jordan Spizike Low “Obama”
The low-top “Obama” design retains the distinctive design elements that made the original “Bordeaux” such a standout. From the grey elephant print to the white tumbled leather uppers and the accents of blue, red, and yellow, each detail is a nod to the sneaker’s heritage. The insoles have a hint of green as well. However, the colour scheme has one minor tweak amid all the similarities.
A deeper shade of charcoal grey has replaced the light grey mudguards characteristic of the 2012 mid-design—the pair gifted to Obama.
Finally, Spike Lee’s unmistakable face branding and the 40 Acres and a Mule emblem offer their seal of approval on the heel.
What We Like About The Sneakers
Believe it or not, this colourway tops many a list for best Spizike colourways. Some younger sneakerheads may find it a little loud for their liking. However, OG fans will value the nostalgia and colour this design brings.
Release Details
This Jordan Spizike Low colourway is set to release in Fall 2025, available for purchase at $160 USD on Nike.com and select retailers.
