These Air Jordan Spizikes Designed For Obama Aren’t Very Presidential Looking (Pic)

I get that the Air Jordan Spizike is made using various parts of different Air Jordan sneakers, but could it have at least been put together in a more visually appealing way? Especially if it's made specifically for the President and the First Lady. Earlier today
Spike Lee posted a picture of his presidential Spizikes on Twitter along with the message, "These Are The Spizikes Made By Michael Jordan For Michelle&Barack W/ Wood Engrained Presidental Seal." I think I'm more impressed with the wooden shoe box then I am with the actual sneaker.
It's not often that you get to design a sneaker for the president of the United States so if you do you better go all out. I'm talking shoe laces with specks of gold dust in them and stitching consisting of silk threads. The Spizike "Bordeaux" isn't a bad looking sneaker, but I expected something much more impressive since it was designed for the president.
The cool thing is you too can rock the same sneakers as the pres. The Spizike "Bordeaux" will be available to the general public next month and will retail for $175.
