In 1998, Nike introduced its latest Air Max cushioning unit called Tuned Air; focusing on zonal support, Tuned Air featured unique PSI at specific locations on the footbed to adapt to the different levels of support needed. Tuned Air existed for some time before Nike continued to evolve the revolutionary cushion system, but it’s since been fondly remembered for its avant-garde design that fit in the Y2K era of kicks.
This upcoming kids release of the Nick Young playing D in the Nike Air Penny 2 Black Royal Blue 3 is quite standard in its construction. It stands out for its use of hot red and scorching yellow — the same colors used in the iconic Tuned Air logo. Whether deliberate or coincidental, this Nick Young playing D in the Nike Air Penny 2 Black Royal Blue 3 captures that classic Air Max look that retro loyalists have always had a soft spot for.
A release is coming soon to Nike.com in GS sizes; we’ll update you on availability and sizing options.
