The Nike Air Penny legacy continues forward this Holiday 2011 season with the debut of the Nike Zoom Rookie – an all-new hybrid shoe combining iconic sneakers of Penny Hardaway’s history with contemporary styling and design. You’ve already seen several colorways of the Zoom Rookie, like the Orlando Magic-inspired Binary Blue, the ‘Glow in the Dark‘, and the vibrant tonal-red ‘Memphis Express’ PE, but here’s a look at another colorway that you might’ve already had in mind. The Nike Zoom Rookie in the ‘Eggplant’ colorway shares nearly identical color-blocking as the Binary Blue version, showcasing the pearly-smooth purple Foamposite on the upper. The glossy nature of the material is only accentuated by slightly opaque nature of the translucent outsole, creating a unique visual contrast that has made Foamposites so darn popular over the years. Check out the extra shot of the Eggplant colorway of the Nike Zoom Rookie LWP and head to SoleCollector for a great interview with Marc Dolce and Zach Hull – the designers of the Nike Zoom Rookie LWP.

September 6th, 2011 at 6:04 pm

September 6th, 2011 at 6:05 pm
Just started saving for the Penny zoom rookie fund, Lookin @ about over 400$ for these two must have colorways. Them eggplants look mighty sexy.
September 6th, 2011 at 6:23 pm
I see the only 2 colorways I want in these shoes. I know the Binary Blue's drop in Nov but when do those eggplants release I need those in my life!!!
September 6th, 2011 at 6:32 pm
Love em both, they have turned foam ones and pros into AM95. These at least give new life into the foam line, instant classics.
September 6th, 2011 at 6:34 pm
I honestly like the 1/2 Cent's better than this shoe, but I'd definately be willing to buy a pair of these. I want to see better pics for the Eggplants though, because I can't see shit in that dark.
