Sneaker News continues its exploration of awe-inspiring sneaker collections on Instagram with this special feature of Air Force 1 aficionado afrokix. The LA-based Force-fiend is very well-known in sneaker circles, often contributing in “best-of” lists while being called on for special AF1-focused features, like the 30 Years/30 Forces piece and a dope showcase at Millennium Shoes last April. His collection spans decades, with his rotation including the most recent AF1-XXX drops, some Friends-and-Family productions, the uber-rare SB Dunk Force 1, and some Retros dating back to 1993, so check out some of his collection below (we didn’t even have to far back to gather all this heat) and check him out live on his Instagram page.

Thanks to the social media picture-sharing juggernaut known as Instagram, it’s been easier than ever to show off a personal sneaker collection or let your followers know what you’re wearing on a daily basis. We’ve noticed many of our Sneaker News Instagram followers have some incredible rotations, so we’re starting with Instagram user uptown2k, who broke the news of the ‘Glow in the Dark’ detail of the Nike LeBron 9 Low ‘LeBronold Palmer’ last night. Check out some of his stash below, and if you’ve got your own sneaker collection on your Instagram (remember, we’re looking for HEAT and great picture quality), we’d like to see it!

The Boston connection is back, New Balance and retailer Ball and Buck converging once again for a New Balance 574 release. The pair sticks to the formula that led the first go round to fly off shelves so quickly, slapping camo canvas on the toe box and ankle collar. The difference is the base, in this case covered in mountain green suede. Do you prefer this pair to the original tan release? Let us know and remember that the Ball and Buck x New Balance 574 ‘Mountain Green’ will hit Ball and Buck on Christmas day.

Earlier today we have you a glimpse into Penny’s personal Air Foamposite One collection, but the buck doesn’t stop there. Of course, the Foamposite One is just one of several Air Penny signature shoes to have released, so in this second showcase, Penny shows off other sick Nikes branded with his iconic 1-Cent logo. Zoom Rookies (remember the Memphis Blues and Express joints were one-of-ones first!), Air Max Penny 1s, Forces – it’s all here. Flip through the gallery of this amazing set of kicks and let us know which of Penny’s non-Foam collection stands out to you the most!

You know Jordan has closets full of Jays in his house. So what the heck do you think Penny’s rolling with? The man behind the Foamposite phenomenon of the late 2010s and beyond is Anfernee ‘Penny’ Hardaway, the former NBA superstar that boasted the Air Foamposite One as one of his signature shoes. What we see here is probably just a fraction of all the incredible PEs and 1-of-1s he’s been presented with in the past, but this stash of Foams, from the basic general releases to the unreleased face-melters like the NYCs (note, his says NYC and not Spike) and the tonal-whites, is undoubtedly impressive. We can only hope Penny shows us his entire collection of kicks, but enjoy this showcase of Foamposites and stay tuned because there’s more to see!

Have you ever had to make a massive move and whittle down your sneaker collection to a fraction of what it once was? We’re pretty sure that he didn’t do away with the rest of his collection, but it looks like Gilbert Arenas had to go through that sort of agonizing packing for his recent move out to China. Pictured here is Agent Zero posing with some of the heat he brought along with them, including the Nike Air Yeezy 2, Nike Air Penny V, and a huge helping of assorted Air Jordan retro heat. Hit the jump for the full photo and let us know if you approve of Gilbert Arenas’ sneaker rotation for his stay in China.
