Tomorrow marks the release date of yet another Jordan Spizike, which President Obama has already gotten his hands on thanks to Spike Lee’s most recent visit to the White House. However, sneaker customizer SAB ONE has also finished putting together a “black cement” version of his own. Using the “Fresh Since ’85 Mars” Jordan Spizike as a base, SAB ONE was able to recreate the black with cement grey colorway that most of us love the Air Jordan III for doing first. How do you like what SAB ONE did here?

The “South Beach” colorway theme has been so popular that other favorite sneakers have been used as a template with which to create customized colorways that sport the bright blue motif. One such customized sneaker was the Air Jordan V. Now, we have also come across a pair of “South Beach” Air Jordan retro IIIs customized by Mr. Exclusive. Let us know what you think after the jump.

Freehand Profit, a freelance artist, unveils the Air Jordan XIV (14) Retro “Last Shot” inspired gas mask. Rarely do you find works of art such as this, hence, it only makes one think of the artists’ ulterior motive. For Freehand, he explains inspiration for this piece and others as “a chance to reflect on the world around me.”

As we’ve seen in the past with the adidas x Def Jam Shell Toe Gas Mask, Freehand continues to use a creative mind and unique materials to showcase what he’s truly passionate about. With that said, check out detailed images of Freehand’s latest gas mask and share your thoughts with SneakerFiles. Remember, “it’s art so it’s up to you to find your own understanding of it.”

There is no sneaker collection without toys! Besides, how could you deny a pint-sized Spike Lee “Mars Blackmon” action figure?

This interpretation of Spike Lee’s beloved character “Mars Blackman” is widely recognized from making appearances in many of Michael Jordan’s commercial and print ads for signature sneakers including the Air Jordan 3 “Fire Red” that ultimately helped push the brand beyond expectations. For many sneaker enthusiasts, this should serve as a wonderful addition to the collection, and perhaps be something to stick on the desk at work.

Take your pick at either a full-colored or black and white version of the Spike Lee “Mars Blackmon” toy. View more detailed images below of this timeless piece and embrace your inner kid again by ordering yours now at Uncle York.

Celebrating in style is nothing new to food connoisseur Sandia, and when it comes to baking, her skills shouldn’t be taken lightly. As far back as her childhood she’s always had an eye and hand for fine cuisine and sweet goods which is now reflected through her latest unique bakery creation.

As a surprise to a groom from his fiance, and now wife, Sandia was hired to bake up something special for the husband-to-be. Special indeed, an Air Jordan XI (11) Retro Black/Varsity Red cake was created as a tribute to his favorite sneaker. The “Bred” 11 cake, inspired by one of today’s most beloved Air Jordan signature sneakers, features many of the shoe’s same details including a patent leather-esque upper and branding. Love is spelled all over this cake as it also features a unique retro box which takes after the Air Jordan XI (11) Retro “Concord” which is due to release in stores later this month.

Check out more detailed images of this masterpiece below and let SneakerFiles know if you’ll have something like this at your next special event!
