Nike Basketball is having a moment. In addition to delivering cutting-edge performance shoes for the hardwood, the team has also been updating some of its classics from the past for old and new audiences alike. Case in point?: A Nike Air Max 97 149 “EMB.”
Read as “Embedded,” the special style of “Penny” Hardaway’s second signature sneaker nods to the aspects, moments, and places essential to basketball’s history. (In the past, the “EMB” collection has commemorated Harlem’s Holcombe Rucker Park, for example.) The specific detail that inspired the latest Air Max 97 149 isn’t as obvious as past offerings, but the series’ basketball logo appears on the sock-liners. Perhaps the sneakers’ mostly white ensemble speaks to the clean slate a hooper has at the start of a game. Maybe it nods to the NBA’s strict footwear regulations of the past. Regardless of the style’s backstory, Hardaway’s shoe remains fresh.
