In the 1980s, Nike Basketball laid the groundwork for enduring lifestyle footwear trends seen in today’s sneaker culture. Icons like the Air Force 1, Dunk, and Air Jordan 1 epitomize how that era shaped the future of casual footwear. This Holiday season, Nike revisits its storied basketball heritage with the reissue of another classic: the Big Nike.
Originally released in Low, Mid, and High variations in 1984 and beyond, the Big Nike series catered to both collegiate and professional athletes, much like the Dunk. Remembered for its enlarged branding at the heel and notable appearances by basketball stars like Manute Bol, the Big Nike left its mark on the competitive hoops scene.
Nike’s upcoming revival focuses on the Big Nike Low, offering four timeless colorways: Black/White, White/Midnight Navy, White/Wolf Grey, and White/Gym Red. While images of the reissued sneakers are yet to surface, fans anticipate an authentic homage to the original design, perfect for everyday wear. Priced at an expected MSRP of $80, these kicks are poised to seamlessly integrate into any sneaker rotation.
Stay tuned for updates as we eagerly await the first glimpses of this nostalgic release.
