Nike Air 1/2 Cent – White – Khaki | Sample

Is Penny Hardaway’s Nike Sportswear signature line even stronger today than when he lead the Swoosh basketball roster in the mid/late ’90s?  You could certainly sleep at night arguing that opinion with the variety of retro and hybrid releases in the past couple years providing the youngsters a rainbow road to the past and one of the all-time great ‘could’ve been . . . ‘ careers.  The Penny hybridization began in 2009 with the Nike Air Half Cent, and while it looks as if the Zoom Rookie will be next to retail, here’s hoping the above pictured model isn’t too far off.  This 1/2 Cent sample goes with the lifestyle-friendly combo of white and khaki, and while a flat white Foamposite is quite striking, the insane translucent gumsole just might be this brillant design’s standout feature.  Click on the jump below to get a closer view of this pristine new Half Cent and check out the auction for a US mens size 9 sample from rkd4life on eBay.
