      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.

    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

    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!

    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 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.

  • @tsingson9618
    @tsingson9618 4 роки тому

    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.

    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.

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!!!

    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.

    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.

    If these were teched out with better knit, foam, double stacked zoom and zoom in the forefoot these would be insane for ball.
