Penny Hardaway once got on the ‘Memphis Express’ – that is, he wore this PE colorway of his Zoom Rookie back in 2011 for a celebrity All-Star game. Much like the ‘Memphis Blues’ aka the ‘Game Royal’, it appears that this once made-for-Penny will be flipped to a made-for-all, as the tonal ‘Varsity Red’ colorway will in fact hit retail sometime later this year. The Zoom Rookie buzz has slowed down a bit until Gentry confirmed a September release of the Galaxy version, but on top of the Galaxy and this Varsity Red release, there is in fact another ‘Premium’ Zoom Rookie build (priced at $215) awaiting us this September. What could it be? We’ll keep you in the know, so in the meantime, browse through this gallery of detailed images of the Varsity Red and let us know what you think. Photos: sole-awesome
