Original Story: Nike’s .SWOOSH taps into nostalgia with its latest Low Poly series release, paying tribute to the multiplayer masterpiece GoldenEye 007. The Nike Air Max 1 “Big Head Mode” celebrates the iconic 1997 first-person shooter for the Nintendo 64, a game that redefined its genre and left a lasting impact on pop culture. Following previous Low Poly editions inspired by Tomb Raider and Donkey Kong, this latest release continues merging gaming and sneaker culture. Before hitting shelves, the GoldenEye-themed sneaker made its digital debut in Fortnite, giving players a chance to sport the look in the virtual world first.

The sneaker’s design channels Bond’s signature tuxedo, with sleek black and white base layers reflecting his classic suit-and-tie aesthetic. A standout detail is the boxy Swoosh outline, adding a unique, pixelated touch. Gold accents pay tribute to the legendary Golden Gun, the game’s most infamous and overpowered weapon. The “Big Head Mode” moniker references the beloved cheat code that humorously enlarged characters’ heads, a defining feature of the game’s low-poly charm.
