Nike Big Nike High – 2009 Release
Next year Nike will bring back the Big Nike High. We broke the news about the return of the Big Nike High a few months back when we posted Nike’s 2009 sneaker releases. The Big Nike High was spotted in the preview in several colorways. Here we have a look at the varsity red, black, and white colorway. The Big Nike High will hit stores Spring 2009.

dope I would if i could this color way is killing me I have about ten kicks with this color so would buy them and leave dead stock for a few months
dope… def cop for all the colorways haha
more colorways pls.
D O P E… love gummy bottoms!!!!!
Oh yes we will be getting those!!!!
these are too clean, especially in this colorway. straight classic. how much are these going to be when they drop?
I must say that I stand to learn something today. I am not familiar with the Big Nike…or just dont remember them. Other than the gum soles and the NIKE on the back whats so different in these and a pair of Dunks? Are these like Term hi’s?
Ok did some research and I see they were released around 86-87, the same time as the Term Highs…what else you all got for me?
^^^^^
The Nike Big Nike was first introduced to the public alongside the Nike Dunk in 1985 for the 1985-86 basketball season. While the Dunks were part of the memorable “Be True” advertising campaign, the Nike Big Nike was endorsed by the NBA’s biggest player. By biggest, we mean literally. Standing at 7?7?, rookie Manute Bol stepped foot into the league wearing the Nike Big Nike and was featured in many Nike print ads for the sneaker.
What Manute accomplished in the Big Nike is something that shouldn’t be overlooked. The towering rookie lead the league and set a record for the most blocks by a rookie with 397 blocks! His height and limb length made him more of a specialized player than anything since his 220lbs body was thrown around by the league’s big men in the paint. He is the only NBA player to block more shots than he has made and still holds the record for most blocks per minute in NBA history.
The shoe is quite similar to the Dunk in the silhouette, but has a more aggressive look. The shoe has sharper lines and corners at the toe box, side panel, and read of the shoe.
Gotta admit a couple shots make it look like a result of a 1 night stand between the Jordan 1 and some hi top dunks
Think of how niice it wuld
