20 Designs That Changed The Game: Nike Air Penny

Today, the "20 Designs That Changed The Game" series continues with the Nike Air Penny. In order to supplement Penny Hardaway's versatility, Nike had to have the best of both worlds — speed and strength. Tensile Air was created to help with speed, which today is better known as Zoom Air. To support his strength, the shoe was fitted with a Max Air bag in the heel for impact protection. Top it all off with a timeless design and a star was born. Nike didn't create the monster, Penny did. [via Nike, Inc.]
