Maybe it's just something dumb that I noticed, but is there any significance behind the red & green colorway combination? There were two spiz'ikes
with red/green and those god awful air force fusion V's have a blk/red/grn CW. Soooooooo..................... significant? or dumb?

Well, since no one actually answered you, it's a reference to Sal's famous (Italian colors) at least for the spiz'ikes. For the fusion, dunno

It is some black pride thing.
I forget what my mom said. But I think in 40 acres and a mule the sign on the baq of a few of the spizikes the black and green color was very significant.
Zip it up and Zip it out!

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan-African_Flag They're the colors of the Pan-African flag, a symbolic flag that is representative of the connection
of people with african-american lineage And as has been said before, the symbol on the back of the Spizikes is his company 40 Acres and a Mule

I think it's our responsibility to educate ourselves as much as we can, particularly about things that have affected us so much in this country. Something like the Pan-African flag, and the history behind it has a great deal to do with Blacks, Latinos, and in general People of Color in this country today. Like I said, shocked and disappointed. That's what the two emoticons are supposed to represent right? If I'm mad I'll use the little red face that is glowing.  That one is rolling your eyes, just in case you couldn't tell
