The Man from Memphis

In 1995 Nike debuted Penny Hardaway's first signature shoe, Air Max Penny 1s "Orlando".  Such a promising basketball player in the mid 90s due to the run he had beating Michael Jordan in the Chicago Bulls and moving on facing Hakeem Olajuwon and defending champions the Houston Rockets. Although the Rockets ended beating the young Orlando Magics there was a bright future in the brand new franchise with their tremendous duo in Shaq and Penny. Nike went on that same year and debuted Penny's first shoe and made three more signature shoes with it. Penny would go on and become injury prone and would have a lot of success with the departure on Shaq but still in the years of Penny's 1-4 would still be a famous buy in the 2000's. I own a pair of Penny 1 and 4 along with some Foamposites which Penny made famous and are still a high priced pair of shoes.
