2009 saw the welcome return of a bunch of beloved Anfernee ‘Penny’ Hardaway Nike Retros, plus the possible king-of-the-hybrids, the new Nike Air Half Cent. The 1/2 Cent gave us a look at what Penny’s Spurs PEs would have looked like, but here’s a shoe that represents some real playing time. Emphasis on the ‘some’, since Penny never controlled the rock in Phoenix like he did in O-Town, but these Eggplant and white Air Penny IIIs are some of the best Suns-compatible kicks we’ve seen. The red/white pair of identical colourblocking is set for an April release, with this Eggplant Air Penny III dropping at Nike Sportswear retailers like Foot Locker on Friday, June 18th.
