To celebrate this weekend’s 3/20 Jordan Countdown Pack release and as the first installment of the 23 Reasons Project, Chicago-based artist Kane helped lend his talents to the storefront of St. Alfred’s, located on 1531 North Milwaukee in Chicago. The amazingly detailed artwork features several icons from 1988, namely Michael Jordan’s Dunk Contest winning free-throw line dunk, the Air Jordan III in the colorway to be released this Saturday, a portrait of legendary designer Tinker Hatfield and also the title of Eric B. and Rakim’s classic album, Follow The Leader. A background of cement print caps off the well done work.

Beautiful painting.....honestly nice!!

Jordan Brand is already beginning their plans for expansion into the European markets, as pictures of the European exclusive Jordan Spiz’ike were recently unveiled online. In a combination black nubuck and patent leather upper, the shoe also features bright hits of cactus green as well as violet contrast stitching. Along the outsole, the shoe has a Yeezy-like glow with its transclucent cactus green tinted outsole. I would expect these to be priced at $175 like all other Spiz’ikes, and we’ll be sure to update you with a list of stores that will be carrying the shoes when they hit.
