Following the announcement of its revival in Eggplant form, the Nike Air Penny 3 is readying yet another retro colorway for return, 1997’s “Black/Royal” release.
The no-frills, all-business banger arrives almost entirely in black, with leathers, suede, and Foamposite shells reaching back from toe-to-tail across the upper. Penny’s Orlando Blue bounces in at the tongue and rear pull, as well as the splash on the outsole’s forefoot. Outsoles and rear Air cassettes return to black, while the latter houses a fully-translucent Air Bubble to match the clarity of the ankle badge resting above.
For reference, grab a look at the older pair here below, with the release of the 2020 update expected to arrive in a similar fashion come November 20th. If you are planning on picking up a pair later this month, make sure you set yourself a reminder for the drop right here on our dedicated Nike Release Calendar.
