BAIT and .SWOOSH Host Exclusive Live Raffle for Air Max 1 "Big Head Origins"

Nike's .SWOOSH initiative has taken an exciting turn with the introduction of the Air Max 1 "Big Head Origins" - a low poly sneaker concept inspired by the classic Donkey Kong Country game. Ahead of the wider SNKRS release, Nike has partnered with BAIT to host a special live raffle event for this coveted shoe.

The Air Max 1 "Big Head Origins" features key details and ephemera directly inspired by the Donkey Kong Country game, striking a nostalgic chord with old-school gaming enthusiasts. While there are no direct references to the game or the N64 console, the connections are clear and the demand for this unique sneaker has been growing steadily since its initial reveal in mid-February.

Retro gaming seems to be a key focus for this variant of the Air Max 1, as Nike recently also dropped the Air Max 1 Low Poly "Adventure" inspired by the Tomb Raider franchise.

The exclusive live raffle event at BAIT is set to take place on March 15th, giving attendees a chance to secure a pair of the Air Max 1 "Big Head Origins" ahead of the wider SNKRS launch later this month. In addition to the shoe raffle, BAIT will be hosting a range of other gaming-themed activities, including a food truck, live music, and even a Nintendo 64 gaming tournament featuring classics like GoldenEye and Mario Kart.

Fans of both sneakers and retro gaming won't want to miss this unique opportunity to get their hands on the Air Max 1 "Big Head Origins" before the wider release. Be sure to sign up for the event at the BAIT website for a chance to win this highly coveted low poly sneaker.
