Nike Big Nike Hi LE “Phi Slamma Jamma”
Posted by George Kiel III | Mar 20, 2009 In college basketball, we have seen many great players and teams over the years such as Michigan’s “Fab 5″. However, young basketball fans may not remember the great 1982-84 University of Houston team dubbed the “Phi Slamma Jamma”. Players on that team included Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler. With that said, Nike plans on instilling this great team in your head by releasing a Nike Big Nike inspired by the team.
The shoe itself features many details inspired by the great University of Houston team. For example, head coach Guy V. Lewis always wore plaid-designed coats, therefore, the shoe contains a red/black plaid design on the side panels and heel area. The colorway is made up of a red base with white accents on the toe box, ankle area, shoelaces and midsole. Obviously, this represents University of Houston’s school colors. Other details include pictures of a basketball goal, the Phi Slamma Jamma fraternity sign and a silhouette of a player. The “Phi Slamma Jamma” Nike Big Nike will be available exclusively at the House of Hoops. Photos from Foot Locker. |

A White/Red/Black colorway like what the team wore in 1986 would have been a better look in my book.
