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!

After much indecision on Nike’s side of things, the Nike Zoom Rookie LWP in the famed ‘Galaxy’ composition has reached a concrete release date; after initiall reports of a September release, Nike later established an October 19th release before postponing the release indefinitely. We’re happy to report that Nike has officially disclosed the release date for what is potentially the last ‘Galaxy’ release of the year to be November 17th – one week from today. These are likely to be very limited so don’t sleep on these when the hit Nikestore and select NSW accounts on 8AM Saturday.

The Zoom Rookie will get a much-needed jolt of energy once the ‘Galaxy’ releases later this month, but how about a nice round of applause for this sick custom? Using the ‘Think Pink’/Pearlized Pink theme, sneaker customizer AF1King transforms the Dynamic Blue Zoom Rookies to this thoughtful rendition, adding reflective coating to the moon pods and attaching the inspirational pink ribbon as a hang-tag. AF1King will sell each pair for $550, but he’s doing the honorable thing by donating $100 from each sale to charity. A full gallery is right ahead, so take a look and head to the AF1King store to commission your own.

With the ‘Galaxy Foamposite stirring up an incredible amount of attention around sneakers, many wondered what the next ‘Galaxy’ release would follow. Of course, the trio of Nike Basketball signatures for the 2012 NBA All-Star Game can’t be overlooked, but those didn’t capture the seemingly unlimited depth of outer space as it used the ‘galaxy’ print in a controlled and limited matter. The Zoom Rookie LWP, however, popped up in ‘Galaxy’ form (a black-pod version and a glow-pod version that was revealed to be a collab with SC), with NSW head honcho Gentry Humphrey confirming the release himself; a confirmed date of October 6th is being reported, so keep your eyes peeled for more updates as we near this release date.
