AIR FOAMPOSITE I (1997)

Made in June 11th, 1997, this is Nike's most expensive shoe, $180 US, but this shoe is worth it! It has the latest, fine materials to make a powerful shoe that can make Penny comfortable in. The people designed a shoe that wouldn't hurt Penny's toes so they designed Air Foamposite 1. This is the very first foamposite shoe ever made. This sneaker has no rough spots, seams, or stitches that rub the wrong way. This shoe is comfortable as slippers yet still supports to prop up Penny to do his thing. Air Foamposite 1 is a seamless shoe which helps solve the toe smashing problem. The result is a seamless upper and a midsole/outsole that work as one. A carbon-fiber shank plate embedded in the midsole also helps solidify the Foamposite's feel. Avar also added several extra millimeters of foam between the toes and front wall of the shoe for extra cushioning. The colors are same colors as the Air Penny II but this color leaves a shiny, gel effect. Anfernee wore these shoes in the 1997 playoffs.
AIR PENNY II (1996-1997)

This is his most popular shoe and one of Nike's most popular in 1996 to 1997. A really phat sneaker with great designs and comfort.

It has the Max heel unit and Zoom forefoot unit with the lateral support wing connected to the midsole. A carbon-fiber plate was a big addition, allowing for better forefoot flexibility and spring from the court.

The Air Max Penny made the Penny logo on the back bigger, and launched the first Li'l Penny commercials.
AIR WAYUP (1994-1995)
