The infamous Warners Bros. film Space Jam just celebrated its 20th anniversary yesterday. The looney tunes classic that featured the basketball legend Micheal Jordan and comedic great Bill Murray was a childhood staple for many 90’s babies.

To celebrate this milestone, Jordan Brand has been planing an epic media roll out leading up to the December 10th re-release of the Space Jam 11 sneakers. The shoe that Micheal wore in the fictional game between the Bugs Bunny lead Toon Squad and the alien team Monstars from “Moron Mountain.”

Yesterday Jordan brand took to social media to deliver a teaser for it’s upcoming Space Jam collection.

In addition to the 11’s that will be dropping on the 10th, Jordan brand is also dropping the classic Air Jordan 9’s that were featured in the 1996 film. Many sneakerheads actually forgot that Space Jam featured the 9’s in the classic color way because it was seen only a few short moments. One of which is the scene when Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck  go into the real world to sneak into Mike’s house and grab his gym bag which the shoes were in.

There is no doubt that this latest collection that Jordan Brand is dropping has been the talk of the sneaker culture online and in the streets.

The above photo is a tame example of what has become the norm for high profile sneaker releases.  With releases like the Jordan Retro 11 “Concord” and Nike Air Foamposite One “Galaxy” causing violence and riot conditions, Nike and Jordan Brand have come under fire.  Due to the extremely limited releases and high collectibility of these shoes, it is becoming increasingly more common for serious injuries, and even death in a few cases, to occur while in the line the night before.

Nike has finally decided to end the madness, and move to a new release approach.  The new Twitter RSVP system is set up as follows

The Twitter RSVP Process:

On the RSVP date, our store will send a tweet at a random time to begin our Twitter RSVP process, including a product specific hashtag (#tag).

Once registration is open, you must Direct Message(“DM”) the store within 60 minutes. The DM must include:

– The product-specific #tag tweeted by the store

– The last 4 digits of your State/Passport/Military/School ID number

– Your shoe size (limit one).

The Twitter RSVP system is only in place for Nike Stores, so retailers like FootLocker and Finishline will still be having midnight releases.  However, since more and more of the most limited sneakers are becoming NikeTown and House of Hoops exclusives, maybe this will help cut down on that “death over designer” that J. Cole was talking about.

By the way, the Jordan Retro 12 “Playoffs” are dropping this weekend so go cop ’em if you can.
