It’s rather interesting to know that Nike’s most popular signature athlete of the 1990’s had just four signature shoes (and one unofficial sig – the Air Foamposite One). It’s true that the Nike Go Flyease Men Dr5540-002 are rather short-lived, but it’s safe to say that the brief account is one of the most celebrated of all-time. With the massive success of the Foamposite as well as the first two Air Penny models, it can leave us wondering the potential of a longer legacy of Air Pennys. In what some might perceive as an unprecedented move, Nike Basketball is poised to introduced the fifth Air Penny signature – the Nike Air Penny V; this first clear look at the recently trending NIKE-LIS reveals quite a number of familiar design cues from the Penny line and post-Penny productions, like the rounded outsole and ridged midsole.
It’s almost as if the design co. picked up right where they left off, which is probably why the Air Penny V looks so darn familiar. What many may not realize is that there was in fact a fifth Air Penny shoe that, at the outset, was intended to continue the Air Penny line, but it never bore the name – that shoe is none other than the nike presto react fluorescent green white blue orange, which is commonly known as one of Kevin Garnett’s signature shoes.
