No se puede entender la publicidad de Jordan sin Spike Lee. A traves de varios anuncios protagonizados por el propio Jordan y por Spike en su personaje de Mars Blackmoon (que aparece en la memorable She's Gotta have it, producida por Spike Lee en 1986) se marcó una época en la publicidad de una zapatilla.
En homenaje a Spike Lee Nike a reeditado varios de los modelos más clásicos de las Air Jordan bajo el nombre de Spiz'ike.

LO LIFE
I remember before we became the Lo Lifes, we would see each other on the trains, we used to plot on robbing one another for the Lo item we were wearing. It never came to that though.
It was on the Deuce (42 street and Broadway), when we first clicked together. There were a lot of movie theaters and game rooms there. There was mad girls from all over. One of the main attractions on the Deuce was the photographers with all the different backgrounds to take your pictures in. We were steppin' up to take a picture one Saturday night when "Ralphies Kids" were already on the Polo background. Their wears were crisp, but that was the one thing we had in common. So, nigga'z was like "Yo!! lets take this flick together." So both mobs got in one flick together. Little did we know, it would make history according to Brooklyn's streets. "Lo Lifes" were mainly known for boostin', running up in stores and just snatching everything. We made this common in our everyday activities. We turned it into a lifestyle, and to this day it is still the way some original members put food on the table.
When we traveled, we would roll at least 50 or 60 deep and could be recognized by the rainbow of Ralph Lauren labels. By 1989, we grew and had members in the "90'z" (East Flatbush) and East New york. We would get all dressed up just to go out and commit crimes. Sometimes we would go to clubs wearing like 5 different polo shirts each. We would wear one on top of another and switch shirts. All night while walking around the nightclub, your prop status was rated on how much "Lo" you had and how big your heart was.
Boostin' became a culture. We don't claim to be the first to ever do it . All we are saying is that we made it go mainstream out on the N.Y. streets and even out in Philly where Boostin Bill, an original member established a whole other episode of Lo Lifes. There was the uptown LoLifes who were Chris, Ibit, Rob, and a whole bunch of Bronx heads who did crime so fast we used to have to race them to the victims, word!! When we first established the Lo Lifes, a lot of us were very young. Ten years and counting have gone by and Lo Lifes spread so much, that many people none of us even knew claimed to be Lo Lifes. On the streets, in the Rap industry, even ABC's 20/20 was planning to do an episode on Lo Lifes. They held a meeting over at ABC and some how we found out about it and got there an hour late. We walked into a room full of different rappers and boosters who claim affiliation to Lo Life. There were even Lo Life hats made which was featured in a "Source" magazine advertisement. None of us had anything to do with it or whom ever designed it. Lo Lifes is a title each original member has lived by and some died by the name. So rightfully, the name is ours.
The Lo Lifes list is endless. There are so many members from both sides that never even met each other. Whether you were part of Ralphies kids or Polo USA, once it was established everyone instantly became Lo Life. Even if you never met the other side.
We would terrorize 42nd street on Friday and Saturday nights. We were always so deep we would never pay to go into movies. There was so many of us, you would be stupid to try and stop one. Even at the stores in the same area, we would steal every 40oz of Old English 800 by just picking them up and walking out. We would be responsible for 75% of the crimes committed up there. As for the department stores we hit, Manhattan was a regular target. Macy*s, B'Altman's, Bloomingdales, Saks Fifth Ave, Trump Towers, Century 21, BFO's, and like I mentioned before even McDonalds. Our main target was Polo. Either putting it in back packs or stuffing it down girdles. Most of the time when there was so many of us, we would just rush the store and take all you can carry. Leather and Shearlings stores were hit also along with Womens gear stores. This would always be the quickest shit selling and that was how a lot of heads made their money. One thing we all had in common was the love for true hip-hop. We would go to a lot of the most popular hip-hop clubs. We never paid for drinks. We would steal the bottles from behind the bar and stay drunk all night for free. We usually left the club after getting into some shit or taking somebody's shit. A lot of the things we did resulted in consequences. In prison, official heads wore as much polo in jail as in the streets. You had to be a real nigga to be able to keep your Polo in the prison system where inmates would rob each other for expensive clothing.
Empire Skating Rink in Brooklyn was were we met every Sunday. The rink would close at about 5pm. Lo Lifes would unite out front and walk toward the subway headed to Manhattan to get paid. The ill shit was that the entire skating rink on Sundays was composed of boosters. It was a big fashion show. After a while, when we would leave on Sunday, other boosters in the rink knew where we were headed and what we were up to. So, a lot of others would follow us and add on to the chaos. Everybody wanted to be down and every Sunday was a repeat of last week. Except for one week we said we would hit the stores in Manhattan before the skating rink opened Sunday morning. So we went to Manhattan had a quick rush at Lord and Taylor's for all kind of flavor Polo bath robes. Then we went to Empire skating rink, there was at least 40 or us in the middle of the day at a skating rink wearing bathrobes. Of course, we always got the girls. They even got with the program so we had Lo Wives. Stealing was a sport and a source of income and from the way some turned our 10 years later, it is all they may ever know. In the streets we weren't always the culprits, we were preyed upon as well by jealous people who wanted what we had (our Lo) and just didn't know how to get it the way we did. In conclusion, some of us were killed and some of them killed and so on. Ignorant, but the truth. Ten years later, traces of Lo Lifes spread to California and even Japan. Rappers are getting free "Tommy Hilfiger" to advertise, and we are still wondering what ever gave D-Lo the idea for their clothing line? HMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!, it was the original Lo Lifes who started using the word Lo after their names. "The Million Man Rush" is what we call our story just like the "Million Man March", a movement many claimed to be a part of, but only a chosen few can say that "I WAS THERE!"
Imagine the unimaginable, hundreds of inner city youth coming together for a specific cause, "TO GET DIPPED"! (fly, fresh, etc) Which in Brooklyn, it meant your clothes were new and usually from the most flashy designers with the illest colors. Tommy Hilfiger was still an amateur in the streets, Izod was past tense and Versace wasn't even heard of in the hip hop fashion dictionary. Niggas couldn't even pronounce the word until Biggie Smalls came on the seen. The head honcho in the labels was Ralph Lauren's "POLO". In our eyes he was worshiped like God. It was even to the point where some of us would carry a picture of Ralph Lauren in our wallets. "MONEY, HOES, AND CLOTHES" was our motto and "LO" was our life.
The name "Lo Lifes" came about in '88 when Big Vic Lo (THIRSTIN HOWL III) got caught talking to a girl after he just got another girl's phone number. The girl said "You are a low-life" in a disrespectful manner. His reply, "You are right!" I wear "Lo" everyday and "LO" is my life. Then everybody replied, "That's right, We are LoLifes!" It was never officially voted on, or anything it was just the name we lived by. The Lo Lifes were originally composed of two boostin' posse's from different sections in Brooklyn. There was the Crown Heights half who were originally known as "Ralphies Kids" (Ralph Lauren's Kids). That name was made by G-George who lived on St.Johns and Utica Ave, which was also where "Ralphies Kids" could be found. Then there was the Brownsville half who were originally called POLO U.S.A. (UNITED SHOPLIFTERS ASSOCIATION). That name being made up by Ski-Lo and Pumpkin (Rest In Peace). The Brownsville half were all mostly from the Marcus Garvey Village with others from Van Dyke Houses.

PARTES DE UNA SNEAKER
http://www.diggin.es/
http://www.diggin.es/
1. HEEL “talón”: Parte trasera de la zapatilla, lugar donde se debe concentrar gran parte de la amortiguación.
2. MIDSOLE “entresuela”: Justo encima del “heel”. En esta parte es donde los fabricantes concentran la mayor parte tecnológica de la zapatilla.
3. OUTSOLE “suela”: Normalmente realizada en goma dura. Dependiendo de la finalidad con la que se diseña la sneaker, las marcas fabrican diferentes tipos de suela. Por ejemplo muchas zapatillas destinadas al balocesto tienen un pivote circular marcado en la parte delantera, para ganar estabilidad.
4. TOE BOX “puntera”: Al igual que pasa con el “outsole” el diseño de esta parte varia mucho segun su función. Puede ser de piel perforada, de nylon ventilado, de charol, etc..
5. SHOELACES o LACES “cordones”: Destinados a sujetar nuestras zapatillas. Hay toda una cultura creada sobre el mundo de los cordones, que veremos más adelante.
6. SIDE PANEL: Parte lateral de nuestras sneakers, donde la imaginación y destreza de los diseñadores cobra más importancia.
7. EYELETS “ojales”: Destinados a aportar mayor estabilidad en las corduras, pueden ser de varios tipos y materiales, desde piel cosidos directamente a la zapatilla como el caso de la imagen de ejemplo, hasta plastico con pasador como es el caso de la Jordan V.
8. TONGUE “lengüeta”: Esta sección de la sneaker esta destinada a aportar mayor comfort y usada en calzado técnico como medida de seguridad ante lesiones.
9. HEEL PATCH: Zona Trasera de la zapatilla.
