Ever since .SWOOSH, Nike’s web3 division, launched its first IRL Air Max sneaker with the pre-order of the Air Max 1 Low Poly; we’ve seen the label work on a handful of different Air Max designs. This included the Low Poly Adventure Tomb Raider colorway, inspired by Lara Croft and the original Tomb Raider video games from the late ‘90s, and the Big Head Origins Air Max 1, taking its color scheme from Donkey Kong. For the newest video game-inspired colorway, .SWOOSH is looking at the classic Nintendo 64 game GoldenEye 007.
Titled Big Head Mode, the pair is inspired by a cheat code found in multiple games, including GoldenEye, Rainbow Six: Vegas, Gears of War 3, and Rise of The Tomb Raider, that made character's proportions equivalent to Donkey Kong characters, enlarging their heads and arms. Occasionally, it can be referred to as DK Mode, the original name given to the cheat in GoldenEye. These first looks at the pair come courtesy of Fortnite’s item shop, as the sneakers are available for in-game use as part of the Kicks program.
