Michael Jordan was, is and forever will be the unquestioned king of sneakers, but even His Airness can’t quite match the unique arc of Anfernee ‘Penny’ Hardaway’s legacy. Hardaway was an heir apparent to Air Jordan, a massive talent who like peer Grant Hill rose to dominate the game during MJ’s first absence but was met with a series of unfortunate injuries in the late ’90s and early ’00s that derailed what would have likely been a Hall of Fame career. But Penny’s unique legend emerges from the fact that his career was plagued by ‘what ifs’, and he remains among the most beloved figures in Swoosh history despite his relatively short peak. Fitting then, to pair Penny with a model that itself is one of the all-time greats and a model that has sustained its brilliance into its fourth decade, the Nike Air Force 1. Penny’s AF1 Lows are based on the Air Max Penny 1 that along with Chris Rock’s Li’l Penny character, launched Hardaway as a household name back in 1995. Click through to see some more angles and let us know if you’d buy a pair were this 1-of-1 to ever see a release date. via SC
