The Nike Big Nike has made a comback as of late, as we’ve featured the white / cement, university blue / white - medium grey - game yellow, and the charcoal / dark obsidian - white colorways. This pair is inspired by the Phi Slamma Jamma, the nickname given to the great 1982-1984 University of Houston basketball tam. Some of those players ended up becoming NBA legends, including Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler.
The shoe itself is inspired by different features of the team. For example, the plaid on the side panels is reminiscent of Coach guy V. Lewis, who always wore plaid jackets. The upper features a red design along with white accents on the toe box, ankle area, shoelaces and midsole. The color is obviously inspired by the school’s official colors. Upon release, the shoes will be exclusive to House of Hoops locations. via Foot Locker.

These are completely and totally sick. I love these. I’m glad I waited to pick up a pair of Big Nikes because I want these bad. I love the plaid and the frat symbols are a cool touch.

ALL LOVE
these are o.k, i wouldn’t wear themthough
Wow I like this new look. I like the plaid and the basketball goal on the tongue.
tHOSE sHOES are Sick,and Hot combined.
I’m not actually feeling these, the nike on the back isn’t looking good. The plaid is okay though
i like how it’s retro, i;m realy feeling this shoe, but they couldv’e done a better job on the nike sign on the back, it makes it look too old skool
I’m tired of seeing these big NIke’s. I just don’t find them attractive.
I like the inspiration behind the shoe. I always like it when they show love to old school players. Thats just the inspiration though. The shoes themselves are just okay. I like the symbols for the players but the plaid is downright ugly.
these is dope expesually the plaid design big nikes is makin a big comback
its pretty good.
old school–like CJ said.
these are the first GOOD lookin Nike Bigs iv seen.
the plaid and sybols aare eye catching
dese is da truth right here dey standout
dese is da truth right here dey standout
These i can rock with. i like these a lot. the concept is wonderful. the color scheme is fresh. i woulkd def cop these. B+ graade wise. these look like such a fun shoe…do folks agree?
These are so smooth! I love the colorway and the checker pattern, you can rock these with a pajama pants real good. Phi Slamma Jamma was off the chain, and so are these kicks.
Haha dose r coo…the plaid makes it reel fresh
Pretty cool shoes, complete classics. They should make more colors though possibly a black/neon green could look pretty good. Or even a blue black color scheme. Love the plaid commemoration of coach guy lewis.
Ohhh Schnitzel! Lumberjack plaid in the Spring time… No Goooooo… But, it is a nice colorway :)… Just some other time. P.S the details on the upper lace holes look disgusting.
Phi Slamma Jamma lmao. Thats Fly. Love the pattern and creativity that came into making these. Jus the name alone makes me want these. A++
ok, first of tha name is fly have 2 give em creativity points for that…. but after that its just mixin a slightly good idea with a classic and it results in bieng awkwardly ugly….
though some of u like it, try thinkin bout how it wuld look on u, and how not so fly u’d look then
man these are the bomb a classic
These look hot almost like the air jordan 1s
Love the inspiration and the overall shoe.. Red is the color that should be on all top shoes.
the design on the top ane the nike on the back kill the shoe
take it off an u can see me lookin for these
but till then i dont thinkk so
THESE ARE OUT THIS WORLD. IM LOVING THESE. IM FO SHO COPPING THESE. DAMN! THESE ARE DOPE.
Not really my type but sometimes you have to try something different and yes i would try these out. They are unique in their own way and a real sneaker freaker can work with these.
Phi Slamma Jamma beechh!
haha. the plaid was a nice affect and so was the Phi Slamma Jamma on the side.
I like these.
There original.
These are hot; Different, but hot.
PSJ’s were such a sick squad back in the day. Good to see a tribute shoe. Couldnt imagine those guys rockin the plaid back then but I would rock those hard…Jordan1esque.
The Nike logo on the back looks more baseball-like than basketball
I was hoping for a low cut for women. I would surely be there; but these high tops are a little too young for me
some blood shoes
The Nike logo on the back is what makes these shoes so cool I likes these
Any word on if these will come in women’s sizes as well?
MUST go to Cougar basketball games in these.
and can someone please tell me why they aren’t even being sold in HOUSTON!?
very sexy….and i am a lucky owner of the shoe…..wasnt easy tho
