1996’s Nike Air Max Penny 1 is a bonafide classic amongst sneakerheads. The first signature sneaker for the Orlando Magic superstar to bear his name arrived alongside some pretty memorable campaigns, but it was the kid’s electric on-court presence that made the sneaker a star. Though the silhouette has been seen a handful of times over the past few years, the OG Nike Air Max Penny 1 “Home” colorway has not hit retailers since it first released back in 1996 — but that’s all about to change in 2022, with confirmation of its return to shelves early next year.
Though we’re yet to sight the pair, it’s expected to return in all of its OG glory early next year, with pinstripe tongues set against bright white leather uppers and the bright white of the midsole rise. The silhouette’s signature Jewel Swooshes at the midfoot in royal blue, as will the famed 1 cent motifs in the rear, as per the OG pictured above and below.
