Nike Air Penny V

It’s rather interesting to know that Nike’s most popular signature athlete of the 1990′s had just four signature shoes (and one unofficial sig – the Air Foamposite One). It’s true that the Air Penny volumes are rather short-lived, but it’s safe to say that the brief account is one of the most celebrated of all-time. With the massive success of the Foamposite as well as the first two Air Penny models, it can leave us wondering the potential of a longer legacy of Air Pennys. In what some might perceive as an unprecedented move, Nike Basketball is poised to introduced the fifth Air Penny signature – the Nike Air Penny V; this first clear look at the recently trending topic reveals quite a number of familiar design cues from the Penny line and post-Penny productions, like the rounded outsole and ridged midsole.
It’s almost as if the design co. picked up right where they left off, which is probably why the Air Penny V looks so darn familiar. What many may not realize is that there was in fact a fifth Air Penny shoe that, at the outset, was intended to continue the Air Penny line, but it never bore the name – that shoe is none other than the Nike Air 3 LE, which is commonly known as one of Kevin Garnett’s signature shoes. Check out the complete shot after the jump and let the discussion on the upcoming Nike Air Penny V begin! via flight403 on NT
This is what the "hype" does. It gives Nike the idea that we'll buy anything now smh
fakeposites, turrible earnie
Very close to original designs of the 90's, the golden era of basketball kicks. I'll consider these
shoe design reminiscent of earlier pennys. hope penny line continues. will cop
Lower the price to maybe $120 and have US factories maybe I'll buy em.
Love the concept. Wish they had some Flywire
why they look like the Bugs Bunny shoes? all long and boat-like...need a better pic to judge
dont be fooled its a hybrid.
Too early to call it. Need to see more photos and a shoe that's not a size 18
They Look Dumb, They Look Like Zoom FP's.
dope to me,I like the smooth clean lines,reminds me of the late 90's nike basketball catalogue.wanna see more pics.
all dese niccas b frontin...dey be copin dem
What a way to break the momentum of the penny line. It's just too plain for a comeback shoe. More like a cheaper version of the Lebron 9s. Nike just wasted a perfect opportunity with these shoes.
They look like a good balling shoe. And I bet after better pics and a couple nice colorways everyone will be all over these.
Epic fail
Hopefully this is not the final product. These are wack
nice for the court not for the street
In The minority here I guess because I like these , look like a direct continuation of the penny line from his era, for that the designer(S) of these deserve kudos , interested in the price tag but would def pick these up
It's a disappointment, designwise.
Sorry my brotha Penny. Your foams way better. From foams to this is like driving straight to hell.
The Penny 5s look like Kamikaze 3s
Move along, nothing to see here -__-
Lovely
i know i cant really see the sole but something tells me the traction will be nice on these .. i wanna see detailed pics thou before i decide if they are ugly thou
on court heat...other the that pass
Pass, and Penny was wack trash most of his career!
prob gon make em cheap for ppl who cant get foams. but this angle of the shoe is horrible. looks way tolong. only good thing is it look like it uses jordan 11 sole.
They are Going to sell anyways...watch and see !!! Already too much hype behind them!!!!
They look like pennys for the bargain stores
Ive come to associate the foamposite material with the Air Penny line. Im not diggin it, maybe if i seen it in person. I just hope they dont put a $200+ price tag like all the other ones. Otherwise this at 140 I would cop
Wow they are trying to ruin the Penny Legacy with this one Thats one Fugly Sneaker
id need to see some more pics
Sick
not really diggin this angle of the shoe, makes it look weird
What a joke. Nice try, NIKE. If you wanted to milk it, you should have done so a couple of decades ago.
Theyve had almost 15 years to come up with the 5th shoe, and they come up with this?
Black on black zoom rookies s*** on these...
I'm with you that brotha, these are extremely wackkk
NOPE!
Gotta' lotta' tech in this one shoe. HYPERFOAMAIRPOSITE PROPENNY 1 THRU 5
I don't know folks.. Penny is my favorite player ever, these don't make me say MUST!! COPPED!! CAMPING NOW!! I'll stick to the retros..........for now..
ehhh i need to see more pics to really see if i would cop...right now im 50/50 on it but i could only imagine the hype these will get
Wale got em?
They have some potential. Let it marinate for a bit, see some other pics and I think they could be fresh
interesting... I see a lil Lebron in there... and the wavy side panel from the Penny 2. Striped tongue from the Penny 1.
Not a real good photo, so it's hard to give a good critique. Based on what is seen here....no thanks, looks like line of sneakers they got up in Kmart
Protoge's...so far it doesn't look worthy of being named Penny V.
i need to see more pics
Not bad at all.. I was expecting worst with all this futuristic shit.
Meh
