The Nike Big Nike High was made famous by the larger-than-life 7′7″ Manute Bol, who wore the high-performance shoe back in the 1980’s. As so often happens in our remixed and reissued culture, the Big Nike is set to hit retailers later this year in a bevy of original and lifestyle color schemes. The shoe is defined by a predominantly white upper and cement print heel panel. The Cement Nike Big Nike High is slated for a release sometime later this year; we’ll be sure to fill you in with more details as they become available. Via Colmilludo.

With a prominent Swoosh and forefoot support piece, the Nike Zoom LeBron VI Low is the latest high-performance entrant from Nike Basketball’s signature division. The model is defined by a single line of stitching that runs between the reinforced upper and chunky midsole. Cushioning is provided via a full-length Zoom Air bag that’s double stacked in the heel for added impact protection and comfort. This white/black/red pair, along with several other unique ‘Bron inspired color schemes are expected to hit sometime in July. Via NikeTalk.

Nike reissued a bevy of classic ’70s and 1980’s running models in 2008 to wide acclaim. The brand’s campaign featured the Daybreak, Cortez, Air Elite, and an assemblage of lesser-known joggers. The Swoosh has extended their “Vintage Running” lineup into 2009 with the LVD, a meshy affair that’s accentued by faux-suede and a waffle-iron outsole. The LVD will hit this Spring in blue/red and yellow/blue. If you can’t wait for them to hit the States, you can grab them here at Mischief.

Nike’s ‘07 Air Force 25 Campaign was a dud. Sure, the white jumpsuits, commercial, and Just Blaze beat/Juelz rhymes were hot, but the general product was…umm…not hot justified, particularly at a $150 pricepoint. Fact of the matter is, consumers weren’t paying that much for a product with zero casual appeal, and bulky technology. But when in-store releases fail, I often turn to player exclusives–and that’s exactly what I’ve done here. Uber-athletic Golden State forward Al Harrington sported this buttery smooth pair of blue patent/yellow patent AF25’s on court for the ‘07 campaign. Couple that with Al’s “AH32″ logo creatively applied to the ankle latch, and you’ve got a winner. Purchase this pair from a former Golden State equipment room manager here. (He/she will put them back up eventually!)
