Oft associated with 7’7” Sudanese center Manute Bol (the only player in NBA history to block more shots than he scored points over the course of his career), the Swoosh’s Big Nike Low is set to make a comeback this fall. Rocked by Bol near the start of his career with the then Washington Bullets back in the mid-’80s, the kicks retain their decidedly retro look and once again come in OG white/red and white/grey colorway, each of which boasts tumbled leather construction along with the silhouette’s signature “NIKE” branding across the heel.
