A perfect mix of today’s scorching hot animal print trend and Penny Hardaway’s own history, the Nike Air Penny V ‘Memphis’ represents the most appealing combination centered around the southwestern Tennessee university’s school colors since Coach Cal brought Derrick Rose to The Grindhouse. The symmetry runs deep in this blue, black and white colorup whose Tigers stripes are also reminiscent of the pinstripes from classic Orlando Magic jerseys that set the tone for the early Air Penny colorways. It looks like these will have to wait until next year as we’re still awaiting confirmation on the release date, so stick with Sneaker News for the latest and check out a new set of photos after the jump below.

Yesterday’s two-part featurette of Penny Hardaway’s personal collection featured quite a number of Penny V colorways, but up until this year’s release of the ‘Memphis Blues’ Nike Zoom Rookie LWP, there really hasn’t been a true Memphis Tigers tribute. That’s much in part due to the fact that Memphis’ colors and the most popular Penny composition of Royal, White, and Black overlap, but it’s good to see the Tigers getting their shine with this upcoming Penny V release. Matched with a nice detailing of stripes on the midsole and upper, this Air Penny V captures Penny’s alma mater perfectly (a small hint of orange would be nice). A detailed gallery awaits you below – will you cop when they release?

The debut release of the Nike Air Penny V was in a special red/black/white colorway that paid tribute to Penny’s High School, so one could surmise that a ‘Memphis’ version would be on the way. Turns out this Royal/Black/White colorway we saw not long ago is indeed that Memphis Tigers package, complete with school colors and Tiger-stripes on the midsole and upper. Is this the best Penny V colorway you’ve seen, or does that distinction belong to another release? A detailed gallery awaits you below so click through and stay tuned to Sneaker News for release information and updates.
