For those wanting a splash of gold to spice up their footwear game, the new [Jordan Spiz](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sail-and-metallic-gold)’ike Black/University Gold sneakers by the [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/university-gold-2) Jumpman brand are a nice touch.

These shoes use a dark backdrop to accentuate the gold stitching, exterior highlights and buckles. Hints of deep blue appear within the cut outs of the black nubuck, on the laces and the interior lining. Some of you may already have had your heart set on buying the [Air Jordan IV Retro Thunders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/white-thunder), but one look at the Jordan Spiz’ike may change your mind. These shoes not only have yellow running through them, but the blue accents cause the color palette to be less stark and more appealing.

The pair also features the iconic cracked textured design at the toe of the footwear that makes these Jordans worth a second look.
