Penny Hardaway

Penny Hardaway came along at just the right time and Nike was quick to swoop him up. Michael Jordan had just retired in 1993 and Hardaway was given his own Nike Campaign as he appeared to be the next big thing, playing alongside Shaq. Nike put into motion a memorable commercial campaign with Spike Lee and Chris Rock starring as Lil Penny. The ads also starred Tyra Banks. Out of that campaign came this pair of shoes.
