      HE GOT GAME.
      JAKE : “AHHH… HAHAHAHA HAAA” !
      SALESMAN : “THESE ARE THE NEW AIR JORDANS.”
      JAKE : “YEA.. HOW MUCH THESE COST MAN?”
      SALESMAN : “$139. ONE FITY WITH TAX.”
      JAKE : “ONE FITY? WHERE THE HOLES AT?”

      To this day it is still Buggin' Out. After all these years. That's still the best shoe moment in cinema. My son cracks up over that scene as well. "Yooo!" lol. And then when the instigators start razzing him about his Jordan's being F'd up. Classic stuff right there.
      Peace to all and stay safe.

    I was a kid when they filmed he got game on my block in Coney Island
    Seeing him and Denzel wearing the 13s he told us Mike was gonna wear them the next season
    He was such a cool dude
    He told us basketball stories and sneaker stories
    The culture would never be what it is without Spike

    I graduated from Clark Atlanta University as a Mass Comm major and Spike Lee would come to our department all the time to talk to friends of his that were professors. One professor knew i was into sneakers and i would never forget walking into the department and them saying Spike was here. I ran back to my room and grabbed my Spizikes that at the time just were originally released. I got him to sign the hang tag and the shoe. He was such a cool guy and was shocked i had a pair on me out of the blue. Lol. This was before camera phones (well at least for me) i wish i had a picture to hold the memory
