Air Jordan Spiz’ike “Bred”
The Air Jordan Spiz’ike is back in one of the most classic Jordan colorways of all time. There are a few interesting design changes on this model as well, that bring this Spiz’ike even closer to the original Jordan offerings. Most notably, the “Spike” print on the heel and toe has been replaced with Jordan’s iconic elephant print. Judging by past Spiz’ike releases, this black, grey and red colorway is sure to be extremely popular when it drops.
The shoe is scheduled to release in February 2010, but for those of you who can’t wait osneaker.com claims they will soon have a size run in stock. Stay tuned for a closer look in the coming days.

Your Portrait Drawn By Michel Gondry

But Michel Gondry, the director of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Be Kind Rewind, may prove otherwise with one of his odd yet intriguing project. For only US$ 19.95, Gondry will illustrate a rough sketch of you. That’s right, your portrait drawn by Gondry himself. Simply paid the $19.95 fee online and e-mail a photo of yourself (and the order number) to address provided on Gondry’s website. Then wait for 8-12 weeks for delivery. Though it won’t be a Monet or van Gogh, it certainly will be a conversation piece during around the dinner table or a house party.
