The Nike Penny Hardaway namesake series was one of the most well-liked lines to follow before LeBron James and Kobe Bryant. It has established itself as a mainstay in Nike Hoop legacy and still competes with the current lineup of signature sneakers.

Although Penny Hardaway owned many pairs of sneakers throughout his career, only four of them bore his name, with the fifth model arriving after his retirement.

The 1997 release of the unique Nike Air Foamposite One surely impressed the player’s and Nike fans alike. Following their popularity, they were finally retroed after ten years, and todays modern release of new hues is still underway.

Only one "Royal" colorway of the Nike Air Foamposite One was available when it was first released in 1997. The Foamposite One, which Hardaway wore on the court along with his iconic Penny segment.

He even received a player-exclusive colorblocking that had not yet been released, which was rare at the time.

The shoe manufacturer is finally preparing to release the Nike Air Foamposite One in white/black, but with a bit of a twist, after years of followers demanding for their launch.

This forthcoming version of the shoe, which was influenced by Penny's classic home-themed version, features a white, metallic silver, black, cobalt bliss, and racing blue color palette. This pair, which is a part of Nike Sportswear's All-Star Pack for 2023, closely resembles the original with a few minor variations.

The sneaker features a Foamposite top with a white foundation featuring details in black and leather. The small Swoosh on the toe as well as the stitching on the tongue flap both contain very light touches of metallic silver.

The stitching on the tongue flaps as well as rear heel pull tabs include soft cobalt happiness, and the insole is racing blue, which has a vintage feel from the mid-1990s. A full translucent gum outer sole unit covers the entirety of this.
