Like the best NBA draft class, the most significant sneaker year is hotly debated. It’s impossible to go wrong with any of the following choices: 1985, 1987, or 1996. The Nike Air Max Penny Orlando, a classic from the mid-1990s, is a strong argument in favor of the year 1995.
Penny Hardaway, a 6-foot-7 point guard with the handle and shooting range of a 6-foot-5 swingman and the physicality and toughness of a 6-foot-8 small forward, was an inspiration to Eric Avar as he developed his own versatile game. A new Nike product category was born as modern players continued to play unconventionally outside their positions. Nike was ahead of its time with these findings, which would later spell out Uptempo, given how NBA players today are as multi-disciplined as Penny was decades ago.
Penny Hardaway was given the Air Max Penny as his first signature shoe. The giant jewel Swoosh and the expansive Air Max unit at the heel have made this model a true classic. Numerous colorways have been released over the last two decades, and in 2022, Nike will release a two-pair collection with Social Status incorporating a collaborative element. The original “Orlando” and the “Home” will return to stores for the purists.
The $170 device will go on sale on July 1st, so check the images and keep an eye out for more information.
