“Penny” Hardaway’s Top 10 In-Game Sneakers

July 18, 2011 – Ben Berry

Mostly known for his “killer crossover”, Anfernee ‘Penny’ Hardaway also had one of the best signature sneaker lines Nike has ever hosted. Rivaling that of the famed Air Jordan line, the Air Penny series still has sneakers which many sneakerheads consider staples in their collection. Hardaway also introduced the Foamposite to the world, a shoe that is as popular as any especially due to the recent surge of colorways released in the past 4 years. Today Penny Hardaway turns 40 years old and to celebrate his birthday we look back at the top 10 sneakers worn by Anfernee ‘Penny’ Hardaway during his 14-season career.

    Damn near just shed tear. The Penny 1′s and the foamposites were 2nd to only Jordans in the 90s in my opinion

      Between him and Jason Kidd, you only needed to look on their feet for the latest from Nike’s Flight line.

    It was TIM Hardaway who was known for the killer crossover. Penny’s crossover wasn’t that spectacular actually.
    I had those air flight ones in black; Jordan rocked those for one game too. Good, inexpensive pair of bball sneakers. And I had the zoom flight ’96s. I copped the foamposites too, when they first came out, but I hated them and I sent them back to Nike and told them that they pinch my feet (which they did) and they gave me a check to use at Niketown.
