Nike Brings Penny Home With Upcoming Air Penny 5
The “Memphis Tiger” of Nike Air Penny 5 Royal Blue pays tribute to Penny Hardaway’s alma mater of the University of Memphis. It uses a royal blue upper that is a mixture of Hyperfuse and nubuck. The collar, toe cap, midsole and translucent outsole are decorated with tiger-colored stripes. The heel ring of the shoe has a label engraved with “The Storm Is Over”, which is a tribute to one of the Penny tattoos.
From the release to the release of the 2020 Cheap Jordans, until recently, Penny Hardaway signatures have appeared on the front line more frequently, and mocked the revival of Air Penny 3 since 1997. However, perhaps the most active silhouette of the former NBA All-Star shoe family has always been Air Penny 5, because 2020 will give us insight into the old and new.
After transforming the midsole with New Jordan 2020, the retro hoop model is now modified into another retro style color story. The base layer formed with traditional wave paneling and mid-foot molds is set against a clean white tone as the background and adjacent to the accents of royal blue Swooshes and midsole molds to translate the main line color of Orlando Magic.
This adidas NMD R1 product has “Home Magic” color, has a solid white foundation, pinstriped tongue and heel to match the team’s jersey. The royal blue contrast accent on the cold translucent outsole completes the design perfectly.
