in Canada we dont have pennies.. well im sure theres still billions in circulation but the government does not manufacture them no more. Now that's a fun fact.
I love how you only plug stuff you guys bang with and do it like normal people. Like you guys always just feel like people. Watching the channel has been such a pleasure. I've learned so much!
Penny's are the only other sneakers I really did next to Js. Penny 1s are. My fav. But I like em all and yes they gotta be black blue and white. Magic colors
Same lol. Picked up the AJ6 DMP and some bball shoes recently. Tried to get Chunky Dunkys this morning and failed and will try to get the Flint's on Saturday morning.
I had the silver joints but I really wanted the Sharpie ones. I did cop the blue suede joints at Marshalls for $50 but I let my father have them, he needed some kicks.
I wish it was easier to like all your videos on Apple TV lol but I come here when I can to show love and like everything. This channel is a UA-cam staple for sneakerheads! Chris is the ultimate sneaker consultant.
It's crazy these came out so recently and I don't remember them at all. Definitely get 90's vibes from these, specifically with the detailing inside that swoosh. Love it!
Great video as always! Do any of you viewers/sneakerheads remember DubStepSlap? He always spent a ton of time each video showing his gifted swag. Kinda reminded me of that. He vanished several years ago. Anyways, keep safe everyone.
WearTesters I knew you would know. He was very cool. He got mad passionate about his car and walked away from the shoe game. It was pretty unsettling the way it all ended.
My favorite player til this day and I'm a L.A born and raised guy. Orlando was my team before and after Penny........definitely not expected when I tell people this.
Hey Guys! So many questions... what's your ONE that got away? What's the technical term for the upper on the LeBron 12??? Is the Shaqnosis ACTUALLY a beautiful sneaker? Feel free to let us know, and until next time, have a good one!
Rose 773, the first ones, were going to be my first signaturish basketball shoes didn't end up getting a pair. Nike just made up so many names I just ignore them. And the Shaqnosis look good, just imagining the thought process a designer have to come up with something so particular is cool.
To me the one that got away was the Nike Vis Zoom uptempo. I would very much like a bred colorway. The Shaqnosis is a beautiful ugly ass sneaker. Like Jordan 15's and 13's.
"Colors can make or break a shoe" The ABSOLUTE SASS in those words and finger are everything lmao! I like these videos as well dude, because you get to talk about shoes from a like a personal level in terms of what you like and how they remind you of past shoes that are either grails or shoes you've played in before. Very cool stuff
One of favs of all time was the Penny II. Penny is still one of my favorite players and got me to love the game. Got these VI's in Black/silver and tried to ball in them... Nostalgic but definitely incomparable in performance to today's modern shoes
Great video as always! I remember that Sharpie pack and these just kind of playing second fiddle to a lot of us at the time. Cool to see them be highlighted. I wish they'd cut this 'no forefoot cushion' nonsense out though lol.
TMac- injuries. I don't know a lot of people who value or like Penny shoes outside of the foams. I found those Penny 4s at Ross a loooooooong time ago. Dope vid you guys.
When I was a youngster I was a huge Penny fan. When I saw the 94 air ups. Man, I couldn't wait buy those shoes so could go baseline, take off and dunk on a fool. Lol. The good ole days.
Thx Chris....I got both red and white Foamposite....but sad not the royal blue one....I'm not a baller and just for causal use....Foamposite is not comfortable to wear at all.....but it do a all time classics....no matter in 90s or now....missed the 90s game and sneakers....
This is actually one of my favorite pairs of kicks I own. I picked it up at Flight Club a few years back for about 150$, I got this pair and not the foam that came in the pack because this was the shoe that no one wanted in the pack. An even better and crazy deal was I picked up the Sharpie Foamposite for 200$ with the box to complete the pack at a Marshalls!
One that got away might be a good segment in the future. Awesome vid as always! I def love this shoe as well, just wasnt willing to pay $$ back in the day
Good call on making individual unboxings. Also, love the shirt and the penny line was awesome. 👌🏽 Damn! That is an awesome masterpiece! Kudos to reina. 👌🏽 With the green jokes here. “I love penny’s” could have been a that’s what she said. 😂😁 Almost grabbed that pack, but hesitated because there was no forefoot cushion.
Here for the conversations, no matter what they're about. Especially is I get Street Fighter II and NBA Jam references. Also, the Shaqnosis is beautiful, Jodi. Just stare at it long enough. 🤣
I remember while I was in the states in 2016 we went to a Nike outlet and I got the black suede ones with the silver toe cap and I absolutely loved them. Completely wrecked them because they were the only shoe I would wear for ages
Duuuude! i was always said the same thing about the Royal "Sharpie" foamposities. If Nike wanted to relive the hype, they should sell them blue with a Sharpie. Guessing branding between the two brands made it not possible.
I just watched your video on the penny 6. Thank you for making that video and I having me to change my mind about getting rid of my penny 6s. I have the Sharpie colorway and the white and royal blue color way. Thanks to your video I had to take a second look at both of them and reconsider my decision and I'm going to keep them both and I just cleaned them up and they look nice. Once again keep up the good work. I am a big fan now.
I actually hoop in the suede blue ones and absolutely love them. I was surprised to here that there was no cushioning in the forefoot because they seriously feel like I am running on a cloud. I ended up picking up the Sharpie ones also without a box of Foams but I was trying to grab them both. I almost feel that these run a half size bigger but I am running my normal size and it still works ok. If there is one thing I can say that I don't like about the shoe, it's the Nike Dunk SB-like tongue. Makes it a little more difficult to tighten the shoe where it feels snug.
Man i get more crazy hype seeing 90,s classics shoes good work nightwing good video 🔥 the new generation will easy call these 🗑 classics won't never die
Other Nike player lines that have been discontinued while they are/were still playing. Charles Barkley, Vince Carter, Vin Baker (though Jordan Team), Carmelo Anthony, Alonzo Morning, Gary Payton. They had more than one signature model in the lineup. I’m not including Chris Webber, Kevin Garnett and a few other since they left Nike to either open their own brand or sign with other companies.
Love them all the Air Pennys..Remember the cover...A Penny From Heaven..Also I still have my OG Pippen2 in that white black Royal colorway...serious heat them pip2
Love this shoe..i had em in my Ebay cart but i couldn't pull the trigger not knowing tech specs and of course the fact that u had no review on em. Do you consider the Lil Penny and the Zoom rookie as a Penny shoe? 👊🏼
Nightwing, I heard Nike might re-release Air Penny 3. I’m looking forward to it. Aesthetically, I love it! But what the about foams at the sides. Will they hold up if I just use them for lifestyle? Thanks! All the best!
Penny line was the best ever!! He was my guy. And I had all his shoes. I am currently trying to restore the original foamposites in original royal blue from 1997. I wanted these when they came out but yeah didn’t like the sharpie one enough to buy both. Where did you get these???? I don’t get why Nike won’t redo them in original colors.
Man, man, man!!! I had the OG Penny's back in the mid 90's and I made the mistake of wearing them to bootcamp when I enlisted in the navy and had to send them home... by the time I got home my mom had moved and the dude she moved in with had a son that ransacked all my stuff and stole all my shoes!!! I had the OG 180 Barkley Air's the black and the Olympic joints from the OG dream team... needless to say I was hot!!! And Penny was always one of my favorite players and the lil penny commercials were dope as hell!!! And btw I recently picked up the AJ XXXIV low and I totally agree with you on the fit!! They fit so much better than the mid in my opinion. Seeing this ep got me all nostalgic!!! I had the Shaqnosis too!!! I'm telling my sneaker collection was off the chain!!! Great vid once again!!!
Yup! the OG Air Max Penny 2 was my first ever Nike Air kicks... they were absolutely awesome and I wore them to death until the air bubble split. Then I got the retros years later and they were pretty lame, no zoom air (my fave cushioning).. nice video man, thanks
@@WearTesters I remember it saying so on the sole of the retro shoe but it didn't feel like it to me compared to the OG pair I had back in 96. I even had the retro Penny 4's and the zoom in that felt non existent also.. that was my experience of them though
Hello Nightwing, i really loved your channel , im a great fan and i love how you do a review very very detailed... i was wondering if you remembered a nike shoe that Jason Kidd wore, the Nike air zoom Flight 5,,,
These being in that damn pack is why I didn't get them too smh. This colorway was so fire! Also, I remember the upper from the LeBron XII being called Megafuse - definitely not the best name lol, but it was hella comfortable.
I've always collected Pennys and the one that almost got away from me were the 1/2 cents. I was lusting for those shoes. I picked them up unworn like 3 years later for I believe $300. Outside of the pair in this video, that was the only other shoe I was willing to spend up to 500 for. Needless to say I only paid $350 for the dual packaging for the Penny's in the video. Happy as a semi-sneaker head can be.
So i googled the lebron 12 and forged knit bc i was curious now. The lebron 12 had megafuse with hyperposite in the rear and the forged knit was on the crazy explosive 2017.
Fun fact: That triangular lace lock looking thing actually holds a penny
Like a loafer!
Ok that's cool
😲
in Canada we dont have pennies.. well im sure theres still billions in circulation but the government does not manufacture them no more. Now that's a fun fact.
I was just about to comment that, i was so excited when I found out what it was for, cant believe he missed that detail
I love how you only plug stuff you guys bang with and do it like normal people. Like you guys always just feel like people. Watching the channel has been such a pleasure. I've learned so much!
Dude in this pandemic you are just putting out some fire videos on some shoes! I love those shoes.
That hoodie!!! Yo...nice.
Penny's are the only other sneakers I really did next to Js. Penny 1s are. My fav. But I like em all and yes they gotta be black blue and white. Magic colors
Penny 1 and 2s are my favorite shoes to hoop in......so comfortably and look dope. Timeless shoe.
the penny 1's are my favorite
Penny 1 is mega grails
This channel is getting me into sneakers at a time when I can't rock good sneakers in the court 😭 awesome stuff thou 👌
Same lol. Picked up the AJ6 DMP and some bball shoes recently. Tried to get Chunky Dunkys this morning and failed and will try to get the Flint's on Saturday morning.
There’s not a bad time to rock good sneakers.
Even though I’ve never owned a pair from the line...I’ve always loved the Penny line!!!! Love the NBA Jam tee too!!!!!
I had the silver joints but I really wanted the Sharpie ones. I did cop the blue suede joints at Marshalls for $50 but I let my father have them, he needed some kicks.
I like that on the sole Nike put the 5 dots as if this would have release during the Alpha Project series time frame.
I wish it was easier to like all your videos on Apple TV lol but I come here when I can to show love and like everything. This channel is a UA-cam staple for sneakerheads! Chris is the ultimate sneaker consultant.

Nike needs to re-retro the Air Penny 1s in the Orlando c/w!
My very 1st basketball shoes i got in the 90s were those Shaqnosis. Makes me feel like a kid everytime i see those. I need a pair again.
Great video as always! Do any of you viewers/sneakerheads remember DubStepSlap? He always spent a ton of time each video showing his gifted swag. Kinda reminded me of that. He vanished several years ago. Anyways, keep safe everyone.
That’s an old school sneaker YT deep cut right there. Shout out to DubStep.
WearTesters I knew you would know. He was very cool. He got mad passionate about his car and walked away from the shoe game. It was pretty unsettling the way it all ended.
I had these years ago! I had the copper ones. I wore them every day until the air bubble popped at Walmart.
Penny's were always my favorite sneaks. 1s 2s and Foamposite 1 in royal are classic
I’m from Memphis bro n we love that guy down here. I’m actually shocked people love the penny’s the way they do...
My favorite player til this day and I'm a L.A born and raised guy. Orlando was my team before and after Penny........definitely not expected when I tell people this.
I wore the Sharpie foams today. I LOVE the 6s and ppl always ask why is there a penny in your shoe 😂😎
Hey Guys! So many questions... what's your ONE that got away? What's the technical term for the upper on the LeBron 12??? Is the Shaqnosis ACTUALLY a beautiful sneaker? Feel free to let us know, and until next time, have a good one!
WearTesters Megafuse + Hyperposite?
Rose 773, the first ones, were going to be my first signaturish basketball shoes didn't end up getting a pair. Nike just made up so many names I just ignore them. And the Shaqnosis look good, just imagining the thought process a designer have to come up with something so particular is cool.
I'm still on the hunt for some fresh ass Shaq Attaqs. The Orlando white joints.
The Kobe 3's. I passed up on them because I thought they looked like waffles, now I'm waiting and hoping for a protro release.
To me the one that got away was the Nike Vis Zoom uptempo. I would very much like a bred colorway. The Shaqnosis is a beautiful ugly ass sneaker. Like Jordan 15's and 13's.
Thx a lot Chris👍🏻, u're the man who always take me back to the GOOD OLD DAYS, appreciate that👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
"Colors can make or break a shoe" The ABSOLUTE SASS in those words and finger are everything lmao! I like these videos as well dude, because you get to talk about shoes from a like a personal level in terms of what you like and how they remind you of past shoes that are either grails or shoes you've played in before.

First Penny I ever owned was the 3 back in 1999. Apparently those are dropping again either this year or next. Good memories.
I’m from Memphis and just enrolled at U of M , I gotta cop all the royal pennies possible for the games 🙏🏼 dope content man
Love this type of video also. Love reminiscing about the old days when we were younger and wishing we had the shoes we’re able to fortunately get now.
One of my favorite homage shirts and the penny line was 🔥
Dang... totally agree... a colorway definitely plays a big part in a shoe..
Really enjoy the channel! That sign-off, the sync “salute-peace out” thingy... is the cutest thing. 😂
I'm gonna be a nerd for a minute, but these are like my favorite shoe to wear at the park in 2K.
I LOVE the Sharpie Pack 😭
Great video as always! I remember that Sharpie pack and these just kind of playing second fiddle to a lot of us at the time.
Cool to see them be highlighted. I wish they'd cut this 'no forefoot cushion' nonsense out though lol.
Just started watching your videos... love the nostalgia sneaker reviews and the family vibe. Trying to get my daughter (2 yo) into sneakers...
I had the Penny 1s in high school, along with the Barkley's and the Tim Hardaway Air Raids. Good times.
TMac- injuries. I don't know a lot of people who value or like Penny shoes outside of the foams. I found those Penny 4s at Ross a loooooooong time ago. Dope vid you guys.
Man this background music from the beginning of each video
I think those game worn posites with the sharpie custom are fire. At least in the picture where he's dunking.
When I was a youngster I was a huge Penny fan. When I saw the 94 air ups. Man, I couldn't wait buy those shoes so could go baseline, take off and dunk on a fool. Lol. The good ole days.
The Penny Nike line is definitely one part of my collection I would never get rid of.
My first ever message on UA-cam is for weartesters and this beast.....air penny....no doubt a cop for me
Thx Chris....I got both red and white Foamposite....but sad not the royal blue one....I'm not a baller and just for causal use....Foamposite is not comfortable to wear at all.....but it do a all time classics....no matter in 90s or now....missed the 90s game and sneakers....
Penny’s line is probably my personal fav his team always creates a dope shoe even after his career which amazes me
I’m French and your way to say hommage is very correct 😉👍
I love the channel! I just got into sneakers again after falling out of it in the late 90s/early 2000s. Also it’s pronounced all-bany lol.
This is actually one of my favorite pairs of kicks I own. I picked it up at Flight Club a few years back for about 150$, I got this pair and not the foam that came in the pack because this was the shoe that no one wanted in the pack. An even better and crazy deal was I picked up the Sharpie Foamposite for 200$ with the box to complete the pack at a Marshalls!
One that got away might be a good segment in the future. Awesome vid as always! I def love this shoe as well, just wasnt willing to pay $$ back in the day
Have these from the sharpie foam combo pack years ago. Very underrated. Str8 🔥
Everytime Chris compress the air unit/zoom in video, I do the same here, but wearing casual shoes. Am I weird? (WHERE IS MY CUSHIIIIIIOOOOOON) Lol
Yea those blue suede joints were fire. I remeber buying a pair for one of my homies for his birthday as he's a big fan of the penny line
Good call on making individual unboxings. Also, love the shirt and the penny line was awesome. 👌🏽
Damn! That is an awesome masterpiece! Kudos to reina. 👌🏽
With the green jokes here. “I love penny’s” could have been a that’s what she said. 😂😁
Almost grabbed that pack, but hesitated because there was no forefoot cushion.
One of my favorite lines. Thank you for doing this.
When u know u wearing a dope shirt 👆 this how we men act... 😂
Here for the conversations, no matter what they're about. Especially is I get Street Fighter II and NBA Jam references. Also, the Shaqnosis is beautiful, Jodi. Just stare at it long enough. 🤣
I remember while I was in the states in 2016 we went to a Nike outlet and I got the black suede ones with the silver toe cap and I absolutely loved them. Completely wrecked them because they were the only shoe I would wear for ages
That fancy floating info caption transition tho... whoa...
I have the red and white pair. I got them from Marshalls two years ago.
Damn those are dope! I saw the thumbnail and clicked out of another video! 😂 nice review and always SUPER informative! 💯
I agree the Sharpies were idiotic. The only Foams I like are the OG blue ones and the pink ones without the swoosh.
Duuuude! i was always said the same thing about the Royal "Sharpie" foamposities. If Nike wanted to relive the hype, they should sell them blue with a Sharpie. Guessing branding between the two brands made it not possible.
Man I do miss that "Uboxing a Ton of Dope Shit" series. Kept me interested in what other shit you were into. Bring it BACK!!!!
I just watched your video on the penny 6. Thank you for making that video and I having me to change my mind about getting rid of my penny 6s. I have the Sharpie colorway and the white and royal blue color way. Thanks to your video I had to take a second look at both of them and reconsider my decision and I'm going to keep them both and I just cleaned them up and they look nice.

Wasn't expecting the MagGirl but that was dope.
I actually hoop in the suede blue ones and absolutely love them. I was surprised to here that there was no cushioning in the forefoot because they seriously feel like I am running on a cloud. I ended up picking up the Sharpie ones also without a box of Foams but I was trying to grab them both. I almost feel that these run a half size bigger but I am running my normal size and it still works ok.

Man i get more crazy hype seeing 90,s classics shoes good work nightwing good video 🔥 the new generation will easy call these 🗑 classics won't never die
Chris...where can I find these?? They take me back to my middle school days!!!
I love this shoe. I have the black and platinum ones. This colorway is definitely one that got away.
Other Nike player lines that have been discontinued while they are/were still playing. Charles Barkley, Vince Carter, Vin Baker (though Jordan Team), Carmelo Anthony, Alonzo Morning, Gary Payton. They had more than one signature model in the lineup. I’m not including Chris Webber, Kevin Garnett and a few other since they left Nike to either open their own brand or sign with other companies.
Bruh, sharpie foams are dope 🔥
I had the black and metallic silver pair. They were nice but I didn't find them comfortable as the Penny 2, which is the best Penny imo.
That NBA Jam shirt is🔥🔥🔥🔥
I got the black and silver colorway from nike outlet 3 years ago for $30 on clearance. Great shoe very comfortable
Love them all the Air Pennys..Remember the cover...A Penny From Heaven..Also I still have my OG Pippen2 in that white black Royal colorway...serious heat them pip2
Hey nightwing did you try for the chunky dunky sb? I know you don’t try for hype shoes but it was a draw for this release
Love this shoe..i had em in my Ebay cart but i couldn't pull the trigger not knowing tech specs and of course the fact that u had no review on em. Do you consider the Lil Penny and the Zoom rookie as a Penny shoe? 👊🏼
I like your Air Penny Project Show, that’s the shoe that got me into a shoes and tech for real
(Air Max Penny 1)
You should do a best retros to hoop in, I know you’ve done one for Jordan’s but you should do some other classic nikes
I think the Lebron 12 upper materials were called Megafuse or something. Loved that shoe btw haha
I love the Penny sneaker line one of my favorite
I've always liked the blue and black color scheme probably my favorite.
Got the black/ metallic silver colorway, also have Lil pennyposite gumbo league edition
Nightwing, I heard Nike might re-release Air Penny 3.
I’m looking forward to it. Aesthetically, I love it! But what the about foams at the sides. Will they hold up if I just use them for lifestyle? Thanks! All the best!
I got a pair of the red suede penny 6 at the outlet for like 80 dlls. Loved them, wore them on amd off the court until they gave up on me. Loved them
Mike Bibby wore those foams at Arizona when they won the championship
@Nightwing where did you score these from? Gotta Link can't find these in my size...
Penny line was the best ever!! He was my guy. And I had all his shoes. I am currently trying to restore the original foamposites in original royal blue from 1997.

All Penny 2 Retros have Zoom Air.
@@WearTesters I remember it saying so on the sole of the retro shoe but it didn't feel like it to me compared to the OG pair I had back in 96. I even had the retro Penny 4's and the zoom in that felt non existent also.. that was my experience of them though
The Penny 4 Retro does not have forefoot Zoom Air, unfortunately.
Hello Nightwing, i really loved your channel , im a great fan and i love how you do a review very very detailed... i was wondering if you remembered a nike shoe that Jason Kidd wore, the Nike air zoom Flight 5,,,
That shirt though!!🔥🔥🔥👌🏾
Great vid hopefully I can get that Hoopery Mamba shirt 🔥
The Hoopery let's goo!!! Thanks for the support bro.
These being in that damn pack is why I didn't get them too smh. This colorway was so fire! Also, I remember the upper from the LeBron XII being called Megafuse - definitely not the best name lol, but it was hella comfortable.
At some point soon I really hope you can do a pippen 6 review because that would be great, loved this video too tho one of my fav penny shoes
I've always collected Pennys and the one that almost got away from me were the 1/2 cents. I was lusting for those shoes. I picked them up unworn like 3 years later for I believe $300. Outside of the pair in this video, that was the only other shoe I was willing to spend up to 500 for. Needless to say I only paid $350 for the dual packaging for the Penny's in the video.
Happy as a semi-sneaker head can be.
So i googled the lebron 12 and forged knit bc i was curious now. The lebron 12 had megafuse with hyperposite in the rear and the forged knit was on the crazy explosive 2017.
How do you feel about the pippen 5 and 6 nightwing2303?
Bruh!!!!! At last man I've been wanting to see a Penny 6 review from you. You should now do a penny 1 thru 6 review.
He did years ago.
@@WearTesters u did a thru 5 review, never a 6. Thanks though man for reviewing these bad boys. I have the white and blue ones.
do you do Asics review like Asics Nova surge or Nova blaze? just curious...
Ay chris quick question, if the New Balance OMN1S lows come out, are you gonna pick them up?
I think the upper is Megafuse, just like the Lebron12s.
Ah, golden era Nike Basketball. Yeah, the Penny line was definitely one of the doorstep at the time. Looked good on and off the court.
Penny definitely had one of the best shoe lines man good video stay safe
If these were teched out with better knit, foam, double stacked zoom and zoom in the forefoot these would be insane for ball.
