Nike Big Nike “Lil Dez” Quickstrike

This past NBA season was one to remember. Although there were great, memorable games from the first round to the championship, the Nike commercials provided a great sidebar of laughter for all of us; the LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and Lil Dez puppets made us not want to leave our seats during timeouts and intermission. Nike has now used the latter puppet as a application design on the Big Nike model. At a first glance, this sneaker seems to be simply designed seeing that it possesses a predominately sport red synthetic leather base; however, it contains many elements that make us wonder if Lil Dez actually got a hold of these. For example, the words, Congrats Kobe are written in white script on the collar areas of both shoes. In addition, one of the insoles reads, “Kobe do you have any new shoes, can I see your shoes?“
