On Black Friday, 11/27, Raider Nation will be giving thanks to House of Hoops for dropping the Big Nike Low LE in Black/Metallic Silver. The shoe hits stores the day after the Oakland Raiders take on the Dallas Cowboys during the NFL’s annual Thanksgiving Classic. And although the shoe has no official ties to the Oakland Raiders, it seems as if Nike was inspired by the football team.

To start, this Big Nike LE features a black base and metallic silver detailing. The heel, toecap, and eyestay areas are composed of black canvas, while the main portion of the upper and toebox are silver covered in black mesh. The midsole is black with silver stitching and the outsole is all silver.
But perhaps a more notable nod to the Raiders is the silver shield adorning the heel in place of a traditional large-sized “NIKE.” This shoe is basic enough to be worn with anything from a Nnamdi Asomugha jersey to spiked shoulder pads and face paint (for all you members of the Black Hole). Run over to the Gallery for more pictures.
