If you caught Wednesday night’s feature post on the Nike Basketball and Training releases from the 90’s, you would’ve noticed the Nike Air Go LWP among that impressive cluster of sneakers. The Air Go LWP, while an important player in the design of the Zoom Rookie LWP, isn’t exactly an official Air Penny shoe. In fact, the Air Go LWP was a favorite of a number of NBA players at the time – guys like Tim Hardaway, Reggie Miller, and a number of other speedy guards rocked these lightweight beauties. But with Penny being such a memorable name in an era dominated by Michael Jordan, we often associate the Air Go LWP with him, which is a big reason why it was used as a design foundation for the Zoom Rookie LWP. Tomorrow is the official release date for the wide-release of the Nike Zoom Rookie LWP, and how fitting is it that the colorway is in remembrance of Penny’s days in Orlando? Cop these tomorrow at Nike Sportswear retailers, or snag a pair at the comfort of your own home by clicking through to available auctions from sneaker_st on eBay.
