As we delve deeper into the era of retro revival, Nike's commitment to bringing back beloved classics remains unwavering. The resurgence of vintage basketball sneakers has captivated the hearts of sneakerheads worldwide, with iconic models such as the Nike Dunk Low and adidas Forum Low re-establishing their presence in the modern sneaker landscape. Amidst this renaissance, Nike is poised to reintroduce a somewhat unsung hero of its illustrious archives – the Nike Big Nike Low.
The Nike Big Nike shares aesthetic similarities with the Dunk Low and Air Jordan 1, particularly in its paneling. However, it distinguishes itself with the same tooling as the Dunk in its midsole and outsole, and notably, the oversized NIKE branding on the heel, reminiscent of the Terminator.
The return of the Nike Big Nike Low is marked by an emphasis on heritage and nostalgia, perfectly encapsulated through its initial rollout of four colorways. These include Black White, White Wolf Grey, White Midnight Navy, and White Gym Red – each paying homage to the collegiate vibes that dominated its original era. With its significant NIKE text emblazoned on the heel, the silhouette's design serves as a bold declaration of brand identity and a nod to its historical significance within the basketball and sneaker communities. As stated previously, the tooling is borrowed from the Dunk Low.
The Nike Big Nike Low will return on September 27, 2024, through Nike and select retailers online and in-store. Coming in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $80.
