Jordan Spizike Black Cactus US Release Date and Detailed Pics

So my good friend Mr. Skighwalker a.k.a. "My Son" (Had to throw that in there) totally hates this colorway in the Spizike. At first glance I started to say the same thing. Upon closer review from the pics below it is still really detailed sneaker. Jordan Brand already release these over in teh UK a while back.

These were also featured in Nelly video "Stepped on My J's"...WACK! (Sorry about that..LOL) They will be releasing here in the US on 12/31/2008 for a $175 price tag! Trying to wrap my head around this violet that is on there though. Will def have to see what these boys look like in person. I do like the clear neon sole though....Thoughs????
