Nike Air 1/2 Cent

I was a HUGE Penny Hardaway fan! He's one of my favorite NBA players and his shoes were some of the best Nike ever released. I dont know if you guys remember those famous Foamposites... they were the most expensive Nike shoe ever made when it came out, retailing at $180 US dollars back in '98. Sure thats not that much nowadays, but back then when shoes were $150 max, it was crazy expensive! I was one of the first to rock em in the Philippines and I still have them now! Sure they had mixed reviews cuz of its controversial, outta the box design, but it will always be remembered one of the pairs that broke the mold, and they still remain my favorite Nike design today!

With all the "fusions" Nike is releasing, (fusion Air Force Jordans & other Jordan Fusions) these Penny's show how they SHOULD be done! You can see clearly that it incorporates the Foamposites up to the Penny IV's, without making it look awkward or a puzzle gone wrong.

The Nike Air 1/2 Cent will debut in March 2009 at a hefty price of $190. But that's not all bad considering the Foamposite 1 Retro retails for $200. These will be available at select urban accounts and a limited release as well. Hopefully they reach our shores but even though they don't, for a fan like me, its really a nice tribute to one of the SICKEST Nike Line's made!
