Nike Big Nike Hi LE – Phi Slamma Jamma

March 21, 2009 |  By

Nike Big Nike Hi LE - Phi Slamma Jamma

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.

    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 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.
