Anfernee “Penny” Hardaway’s illustrious career will undoubtedly be remembered for his years with the Orlando Magic, being named to four NBA All-Star games as well as receiving four All-NBA nods including the All-Rookie first team in 1993-94. While Hardaway played his rookie season in Orlando, he was drafted by the Golden State Warriors third overall in 1993 and was traded on the same night to the Magic alongside three future first round picks for Chris Webber. Remembering this oft-forgotten part of Penny’s NBA career, the Swoosh has created an Air Max Penny 1 – his first signature Nike shoe in them midst of a resurgent 2018 campaign – done up in a Bay Area-friendly combination of Deep Royal and Amarillo. Alongside a clean white, that deep blue hue is responsible for most of this iteration’s color scheme with golden yellow taking shape on both its Nike branding as well as Penny’s iconic 1-Cent emblem on its heel. Furthering the nod to Hardaway’s draft day, are custom insoles that feature the number three and a Nike Swoosh. Enjoy a detailed look at this celebratory Air Max Penny 1 here and look forward to its arrival at Swoosh Brand retailers this December.
