The Nike Air Penny 2 Miami Heat colorway is a commemorative shoe for Penny Hardaway. Hardaway played in 16 games for Miami Heat in 2007. Hardaway contributed a lot on the basketball court, to NBA and the world of basketball shoes. Nike has designed this sneaker to pay tribute to their sponsored player. Nike considers Penny Hardaway as one of their best protégés in the sponsorship program. This design is expected to hit the shelves in 2009. Look for it in the Nike website. There may be more news when it approaches closer to the release date.
The black colorway on the upper looks classy. The shoe lace region and inner upper perimeter is outlined in red border. The tongue is in pin strips and ends with a black colored tag. The midsole is unique with its rising white hump to fit into the natural hollow of the foot. The heel and tip of tongue have nylon slings in black and white pattern. The outsole is red, with embedded black colored concentric strips. You can see part of the air cushion technology embedded inside the heel. Zoom Air is proudly embossed on the outsole. I think the white high midsole is the outstanding feature and selling point of this basketball sneaker.
