The Big Nike High was one of the many Nike Basketball sneakers that released in 1986, falling along the lines of the Nike Dynasty, Convention, Legend, etc. and released in a number of forms – the High, the 3/4, the Low, and the Pro. Nike Sportswear re-released the Big Nike High just a couple of years ago, although it didn’t really grasp the wide popularity of other mid-80′s Nike Basketball sneakers like the Dunk and Terminator, but we did see some interesting releases like the Kobe Bryant ‘Kill Bill’ version and the ‘Wolverine’ Quickstrike. Here’s a look at an OG pair of the Big Nike High in a plain White/Royal Blue colorway; it’s in astounding shape considering the age of these vintage kicks (thanks to the high quality leather), and although these are unwearable, these would be a great display piece if you’ve got a nice Nike shrine in your pad. Check out the extra images after the jump and pick up this rare gem from flosa213 on eBay.

The heel is not as wide as the retros. Seems like nike messed up their sizing over the years and now the heel is almost as wide as the forefoot lawl.

Glue..Rubber..Plastic..they all break down after time and lose their original structure. Things can be done to slow this process such as where and how you store them, but father time will always make shoes unwearable…They then just become beautiful works of art to be admired, Not Worn.

these are wearable and so air og dunks terminators and jordan 1's. They dont crack just yellow.
Whoever wrote you cant wear these anymore is dumb. Poly urethane soles crack not these.
