Nike Air Max Penny 1 “Orlando” 2022 Retro
Prior to the Air Max Penny 1, Penny had already been attracting attention from the sneaker community when he wore sneakers like the Nike Air Flight One, a shoe that, depending on who you talk to, may or may not have been his original signature shoe. He also wore the Nike Air Swift and Air Up, in addition to special Player Exclusive Air Jordan 9s. But it was the Air Max Penny 1 that launched one of the most successful signature basketball shoe lines to date.
Designed by Eric Avar, the Penny 1 was one of the first models in Nike’s new Uptempo collection. At the time, Nike’s basketball shoes were split into two categories: Flight, shoes made for agile players who relied on their athleticism; and Force, which were designed for hoopers who mixed it up in the paint. The Uptempo represented a middle ground between the two, as Penny’s “positionless” style of play saw him spend as much time on the wing as he did in the paint.
