Nike Air Penny V ‘Orlando’

To this point in history, the only signature line that’s endured beyond an NBA superstar’s active playing career is the Air Jordan Legacy, which has survived three different Michael Jordan retirements to remain the most popular series of all-time. The second one of those rare tribute sigs is coming up later this year thanks to the massive success of the Nike Air Penny retros and their resulting hybrids. The Nike Air Penny 5 gets back to the sweeping lines and jeweled heel cushions that typified models 1-III, eschewing the IV’s ankle strap for a more familiar look that reminds us of Penny’s dominant days with the Orlando Magic. These royal and white-accented black Penny Vs also feature carbon fiber spring plates and an outsole reminiscent of the II and III with herringbone traction pods like the IVs, but the messages on this pair’s heel tabs are a bonus nicety not found on any of the previous drops. There’s also a distinct ‘Miami Dolphins’ edition on tap; which of these Florida-inspired Air Penny V colorways looks best in your eyes? Photos: Kumastock

Most definite cop for me. Style looks kinda narrow but I love penny shoes.
COP!
Finally the bottoms can be seen. The traction looks to be pretty good for playing in. The shoe looks very supportive and I hope their is forefoot zoom. They look like they have an internal bootie so comfort shouldn't be bad.
Would be dope to do a color way of all the spots he played in
Yo I can't take it anymore every time I read the comments I wanna get out of the sneaker game these new age so called sneakerheads sound like lil punks y'all complain about the stupidest things on a shoe and cry all day about it knowing you are going to cop them anyway STFU
Amen in my ^Meek Mill* voice
ehhhh they aight
definite cop these Penny's are looking sweet
They don't look bad but it is me or do they look a little long in the front? It's like the toebox area looks a little funny.
Maybe it's like that to REALLY PLAY BASKETBALL in them and not put them on Ice, or Re-Sell them. Hopefully, it has a decent width in the front as well. NIKE is Notorious for making Narrow shoes, not taking into account that the foot flattens and swells while playing.
diggin these, they go way harder then the rookies... Ill snag these holiday season while everyone is clamering for JB releases and pay $40 bucks less
I can get with these. Not the best ones but they kinda fly. Hypebeast get lost and let the pros handle these.
DAMN, THESE ARE REALLY CLEAN
These look like they were Lebron 9 inspired.
sumthin new sumthin light ill proly cop a pair of these
trash!!!!
Why did they put the gum sole?
What do the sayings mean on the heel tab?
Penny has those sayings tatted on his arms. He had the Part II quote done while he was in Phoenix.
THE PART II HEAVEN CENT IS ONE OF PENNY'S TATTOOS, I BELIEVE. THE OTHER ABOUT THE STORM, MORE THAN LIKELY IS ALSO
These look like those old adidas kobe 2s or 3s. Just like them!
yeah ill for sure get these!
Not sure about these pics. Those look like really High tops!!!!!
I fux widdum. When and how much
Nasty
Dope.
wtf is that rubber tab about on the back? makes me not want to cop
I'm not mad at the tabs, they just look like they are too big for the pull tab
They're the quotes that Penny has tattooed on his arms
THEIR HIS TATTOOS SMH
*They're Now syh...

Hey... She's a nice lady.
Nike might as well release these now. How many more pics we need or how many people we have to see with them on already. Just put em out. It seems nike made enough pair already for all of us to wait for the fall. Smh @ nike
I would SO put my face 2 times in between Penny's ass and tongue punch his fartbox for a pair of these grails.
