Penny is one of my all time favs. I remember getting the og 4's Orlando way back when. Looove that model. I own 2 colorways of those today. Back then you've never heard of a point guard being that tall. Penny was one special b-ball player.
Hey Guys! We have Evan back today giving us a nice history lesson on all the sneakers Penny Hardaway wore on-court. Let us know which ones really hit home for you down below. Thanks for watching!
You guys are so awesome for this. Penny and his sneaker line really deserves more love, especially from Nike. My absolute favorite player growing up, always would wear no. 1 in local leagues back then. Can't wait for the Penny 1 retro this year. Cheers!
Blue Chips was filmed prior to him being drafted to the NBA but was released in Feb 1994, during his rookie season not prior to the start of his 2nd season.
Always loved the Penny line even though I never really owned a pair. That might change with the retro of the Penny 1 dropping this year. My personal fav is the Penny 2.
penny hardaway is one of my top 2 favorite basketball players only behind allen iverson. i love the fact he’s getting love and recognition for such an iconic sneaker line.
In my opinion the Penny 1 Orlando are the best signature shoe ever!!. I have the Penny 2 varsity blue and they are very confortable and good looking. I had the 3's black royal but I had to returned because they were too narrow for me. The foamposite one were a revolutionary design shoe. I hope new signature videos.
Penny is my favourite player of all time and the reason why I got into NBA. Now that I’m so old, I can’t wait till the Penny 1 and 2 are retroed again so I can afford to buy them now.
Alright a couple of things if I woulda grew up in the 90's, Penny Hardaway would've been my favorite player! I remember having the Air Penny 2's back in 09 during my HS days in the Miami Heat color-way. And those Penny Half Cents were so damn tuff back in 2011!
I remember the Nike Air Up, I absolutely loved them on and off court. Perfect for the kid who can’t decide between whether they want a white shoe or a black shoe!
the air penny 1 orlando, my grail! the first shoe i bought that i personally chose and spent my savings with. hoping to finally get my hands on a retro! nice vid!
This is a serious lesson of sneakers!!! Penny history is really great!!! He Was a big influence in models like the foamposites and the flightposite.. Still i will searching a pair of flightposites....for my sneaker collection..
Yessir! The Penny line is 👍🏼👍🏼 Shouts to NW. My first penny 1’s were the black/white/red as well. Patiently waiting for a re-release. 🤞🏼 My first Air Penny’s were the all star penny 2’s. I also had the black/royal penny 3’s. I wanted a pair of penny 4’s but, I couldn’t grab a pair. I wanted the black/royal/white cw. 🔥👍🏼👍🏼 The next signature line history should be T-Mac’s. 🙂
So funny you made this video todays just last night my boy posted on FB a picture of his old Air Penny 2’s in the black colorway from the mid 90’s. I guess he went into his storage and found them. I’m surprised they’re even in one piece but surprisingly they look pretty good. I told him to clean them up and put them on the shelf. I wish Nike would retro the white and black pair of the Air Penny 2’s
I feel it's worth noting also the Air Zoom Flight 96's Penny wore these a lot and they also included an Olympic USA colourway among others, the Sole on that shoe was iconic with what my mates dubbed 'hotplate' circular traction patterns "Aw shiet, my boys heating up on those hotplates" they would say. Also one of my absolute favourite Penny shoes.
I have both footwear catalogs that shows both air foamposite and foamposite pro, one mentions penny, and the other mentions pippen in the span of less than one year. And i also own both original Air penny 1 in black and white colorway, and the air penny 3 with black and blue on the traction pods. the quality is so amazing that the air max 2 on the heel are still intact but still needs a replacement. Fun fact, if you take apart the air penny 1 and 3, you'll find that the air max heel is covered in PU as a foundation but the midsole itself is phylon, or foam. And the zoom air is encapsulated from the bottom on the air penny 1, while the air penny 3 is encapsulated from the top like an air jordan 13.
Dope video, I think that I've owned all of these, except for the Air Penny 6. My favorites would be the Air Penny 1 and Air Penny 2. It would be cool to see a history of Tim Duncan's or Charles Barkley's shoes, or even Reggie Miller's and Ray Allen's shoes.
Great content but u forgot the Air Zoom Flight 96 or Olympic Penny’s with the “6” on the back heel tab. He wore them 96’ Olympics. They came out in tandem with the Air Zoom Turf which Barry Sanders wore. Great breakdown overall but missing this shoe unless its the Mandela Effect lol.
Love the air penny 1’s, this is a good year for them too. Social status is having a colorway this year and stussy is rumor to have a design for the air Penny 5’s
I loved my Chris Webber air max’s please show them I loved at the bottom you could see inside the shield and it had his logo which was in a basketball hoop crazy cool
i just ordered my first pair of the penny line. it is a pair of the penny 1s DS for only 100 bucks. i couldnt pass it up for that price. cant wait till it shows up.
Mad respect for Penny 💯 always wanted the air ups ( blue & black ) When I heard nike was doing a retro in 2014 I was so hyped. Unfortunately nike made them so stiff they were unwearable thanks nike lol. Salute 👍
Thanks for the amazing vid. Just 2 questions.. I'm not sure if Jordan 11 was the first performance basketball sneaker EVER to feature patent leather... Didn't MJ wear the air ship....which is practically not his signature shoe?
i dont know for me jordan 10 11 12 13 kamikaze 1 shawn kemp Shaqnosis shaquille o'neal all addidas / except kobe 2 - kobe all reebok - Ai addidas T-Mac 1 2 nike penny 1,2 nike zoom 97 jason kidd lols honestly haay 90s shoes brings so much memories even the and1 latrell sprewell
Penny had the most cohesive evolution of designs. Kyrie is probably next for Nike. Jordan always pushed forward with tech. Kobe was about finding the most natural foot design and cutting weight. LeBron designs were all over. KD shoes just aren’t as memorable. Hopefully Giannis will step up his designs.
Can someone tell me if the new Foamposite one penny PE color way being released for the first time here in February 2023 is going to hold resell value I want them but I need it to feel like an investment as there going to cost $240 I'm stuck between these and the black playoff Jordan 13s wish I could have them both but sadly I can only afford one of the two
Would love to see history of Charles Barkley shoes next. Thanks in advance! Haha
I so agree
YES!
Yes please
Yesss sirr

Penny 1s hit the hardest for me and missed out on getting them..
Do a history lesson the on Kobe’s 🙏🏽
u guys didn't mention the air zoom flight '96vwith number 6 he wore in olympics. i loved those shoes and honestly my fav bball shoe ever!
Penny 3s are my favourites
You didn't mention the Nike Air Zoom Flight '96 "Penny Olympics". 😥
You guys are so awesome for this. Penny and his sneaker line really deserves more love, especially from Nike. My absolute favorite player growing up, always would wear no. 1 in local leagues back then. Can't wait for the Penny 1 retro this year. Cheers!
My favorite player with arguably the best sneaker line
Is sad to see my favorite player when downhill after the injury in 98. I love Penny 1 and 2, the most comfortable shoe i ever wear.
Those Kevin Johnson Converse React Juice shoes were hard also!!
Blue Chips was filmed prior to him being drafted to the NBA but was released in Feb 1994, during his rookie season not prior to the start of his 2nd season.
Still sorta right as it counts as "prior to his 2nd season" 😂
underrated series of sneakers,
💯
Always loved the Penny line even though I never really owned a pair. That might change with the retro of the Penny 1 dropping this year. My personal fav is the Penny 2.
Love Penny 1 and 2.. and I love the flights
Do u like them better than the griffey 1&2??
Yes a Lil bit..
Had Air Penny 1,2,3,4 when they released. Just went to the store and picked them up. The Air Penny 2 were my favorite.
The Penny’s are dope, Y’all be good now 1🖤

penny hardaway is one of my top 2 favorite basketball players only behind allen iverson. i love the fact he’s getting love and recognition for such an iconic sneaker line.
Love pennys
In my opinion the Penny 1 Orlando are the best signature shoe ever!!. I have the Penny 2 varsity blue and they are very confortable and good looking. I had the 3's black royal but I had to returned because they were too narrow for me. The foamposite one were a revolutionary design shoe. I hope new signature videos.
Those Penny 1's were nice I had the Cool grey joints. The Penny 2, 3 and 4's were also good.
the Air Penny 3 will always have a special place in my heart
my best friend in MS (RIP) had them and I bought a matching pair
Memphis in the house! Our home town hero gotta love Penny
Penny is my favourite player of all time and the reason why I got into NBA. Now that I’m so old, I can’t wait till the Penny 1 and 2 are retroed again so I can afford to buy them now.
Well done Evan!
i love these types of videos. keep em' coming!
This was an awesome trip down memory lane! More of these, please! And I'd say that Webber's Nike sig logo is among the best, imo.
Alright a couple of things if I woulda grew up in the 90's, Penny Hardaway would've been my favorite player! I remember having the Air Penny 2's back in 09 during my HS days in the Miami Heat color-way. And those Penny Half Cents were so damn tuff back in 2011!
Penny's are classics🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I loved playing in the 1/2 cent
Still love the lil penny doll
And the Nike air penny 2s
The OF Nike version
I remember the Nike Air Up, I absolutely loved them on and off court. Perfect for the kid who can’t decide between whether they want a white shoe or a black shoe!
the air penny 1 orlando, my grail! the first shoe i bought that i personally chose and spent my savings with. hoping to finally get my hands on a retro! nice vid!
This is a serious lesson of sneakers!!! Penny history is really great!!! He Was a big influence in models like the foamposites and the flightposite.. Still i will searching a pair of flightposites....for my sneaker collection..

The next signature line history should be T-Mac’s. 🙂
Y'all should do a Complete Guide for Ken Griffey Jr.
I’m going to bust out my Penny 6 today. Great vid
CHRIS WEBBER LOGO!!! We need the sensation to come back with the logo
penny 2's are 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much for dropping this knowledge! So much history.
Looking forward to future penny releases.
Great video but they missed a few of the shoes Penny wore. For example he wore the LWPs in his second year too.
Penny 1 one of the most beautiful shoes
Ill be waiting for those retros nice video by the way..
Awesome video! you guys do a great job. I almost exclusively collect Air Penny. Such awesome shoes.
So funny you made this video todays just last night my boy posted on FB a picture of his old Air Penny 2’s in the black colorway from the mid 90’s. I guess he went into his storage and found them. I’m surprised they’re even in one piece but surprisingly they look pretty good. I told him to clean them up and put them on the shelf.

Also one of my absolute favourite Penny shoes.
I feel the Copper colorway of the Vs deserves a mention too, given the Copper Penny 1c homage.
I still have my Foamposite ones, I love those shoes, people called me crazy for paying $180 for em back in 1997 lol
Penny 5’s are my favorite I have the Orlando colorway the invisibility cloaks and another black grey white pair with yellow hits
I have both footwear catalogs that shows both air foamposite and foamposite pro, one mentions penny, and the other mentions pippen in the span of less than one year. And i also own both original Air penny 1 in black and white colorway, and the air penny 3 with black and blue on the traction pods. the quality is so amazing that the air max 2 on the heel are still intact but still needs a replacement.

Penny 2s are made that way as well. It’s super interesting how many parts there are to one shoe.
Patiently waiting for the Penny 3s to come back.
They just did. We reviewed them.
I had the red and black Penny 4s, they were awesome! I wish they would rerelease them!
These history vids are amazing, keep it up y’all! 👟
That was my first Penny 1 (Chicago colorway) as well!!
Dope video, I think that I've owned all of these, except for the Air Penny 6. My favorites would be the Air Penny 1 and Air Penny 2. It would be cool to see a history of Tim Duncan's or Charles Barkley's shoes, or even Reggie Miller's and Ray Allen's shoes.
PENNY WAS MY GUY IN THE 90S
Great video. Awesome footage. Thanks.
Great Vid. But we missed the Zoom Flight 96's Penny wore while playing on Dream Team 2.
I had bought my first pair of penny 3s when they dropped the retros…. Performance was 🔥I got two more pairs
Best penny 2 yo me I can’t wait they release again 🙏🏼
Great content but u forgot the Air Zoom Flight 96 or Olympic Penny’s with the “6” on the back heel tab. He wore them 96’ Olympics. They came out in tandem with the Air Zoom Turf which Barry Sanders wore. Great breakdown overall but missing this shoe unless its the Mandela Effect lol.
Love the air penny 1’s, this is a good year for them too. Social status is having a colorway this year and stussy is rumor to have a design for the air Penny 5’s
The history of Chris Webbers shoes would be dope!
Penny Hardaway sneakers had the same aura as the Air Jordan in 95 and 96
Shawn Kemp's Reebok signature sneakerline should be great. Finger's crossed I hope you'll do it.
The 5's I have 6 colorways of that shoe. I don't have the Miami colorway. I love that shoe.
I loved my Chris Webber air max’s please show them I loved at the bottom you could see inside the shield and it had his logo which was in a basketball hoop crazy cool
Appreciate the history lesson. 😎
Grant Hill. His shoes was nice but also underrated
i just ordered my first pair of the penny line. it is a pair of the penny 1s DS for only 100 bucks. i couldnt pass it up for that price. cant wait till it shows up.
penny always rocked the air go lwp
I see the t mac 4's on the shelf...have you ever done a review on those..I loved those shoes...they were heavy but i loved them
I love these Videos!
Mad respect for Penny 💯 always wanted the air ups ( blue & black ) When I heard nike was doing a retro in 2014 I was so hyped. Unfortunately nike made them so stiff they were unwearable thanks nike lol. Salute 👍
Love to see Shawn kemp shoe history or Larry johnson s !
Penny played in 9 regular season games with the Foamposite.
Great content!!!!
Chris Webber please!! He was my favorite player growing up since his Fab 5 days!!
The Penny 5s still go hard.
Air penny 5, Miami dolphins is 🔥
I'm wearing the air ups that he used to wear right now
Great job!
This video is amazing🔥💯💯
I would love to see Shaq's signature line in this series.
Penny probably has the best footwork behind Micheal Jordan. His moves are so fluid and never forced, just like Mike.
Thanks for the amazing vid.
Just 2 questions..
I'm not sure if Jordan 11 was the first performance basketball sneaker EVER to feature patent leather...
Didn't MJ wear the air ship....which is practically not his signature shoe?
I need a new pair of Penny 1 Orlando in the worst way when they drop this year
Loved this history
I'm sure those are Adidas T-Mac 4's on the upper left corner. But are those under it the Dada Supreme 4th Quarter sneakers worn by Karl Malone?
i dont know for me
jordan 10 11 12 13
kamikaze 1 shawn kemp
Shaqnosis shaquille o'neal
all addidas / except kobe 2 - kobe
all reebok - Ai
addidas T-Mac 1 2
nike penny 1,2
nike zoom 97 jason kidd
lols honestly haay 90s shoes brings so much memories
even the and1 latrell sprewell
5:43 me too I concur
what about the Nike Force Air Pound that Penny featured in a commercial in 94?
Have you guys ever thought about doing the team penny shoes. All of his non signature shoes.
I only have the 5s. Wish I had the Flights
10:37 😆😆😆😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 hilarious Jim Carrey
11:38 YEP ON DA LOOK OUT 🧐🧐🧐
Penny had the most cohesive evolution of designs. Kyrie is probably next for Nike. Jordan always pushed forward with tech. Kobe was about finding the most natural foot design and cutting weight. LeBron designs were all over. KD shoes just aren’t as memorable. Hopefully Giannis will step up his designs.
Nike signatures top 3 is 1. Jordan 2. Penny 3. No Jackson
Keep hearing that the original colourway Penny ones will be dropping this year. Any word?
I hope too see the Kobe Bryant shoe line next
Dope video
👁️👁️ BLINK BLINK 😁 I remember that Day , I thought The air Penny 1 retro was releasing this month do you have any information ?
Do one vid about the 5 Nike Deion Sanders plz
Can someone tell me if the new Foamposite one penny PE color way being released for the first time here in February 2023 is going to hold resell value I want them but I need it to feel like an investment as there going to cost $240 I'm stuck between these and the black playoff Jordan 13s wish I could have them both but sadly I can only afford one of the two
Can we get a Gary Payton shoe history
That would be a fun one.
