Nike Zoom Rookie - another Penny Hardaway hybrid (August 2011)

Yeah, it's really ground breaking, a Nike sneaker has never been without a swoosh before
If you're being sarcastic, what my post was implying was that the giant swoosh design element has been a more recent trend, and it took a retro hybrid (or the Foam One for that matter) to buck that trend. A practically logoless or minimalist design was a staple of late 90s-early 2000s Nikes, which made them look more futuristic than a lot of today's kicks, which is a bit illogical because it seems like design is going backwards instead of forwards. So, the Zoom Rookie, a new design made up of older designs, actually looks more futuristic than today's shoes by, among other things, eschewing a giant logo. And I thought it was nice to have a new shoe look like that.
 
before i make a final decision i want to see them in hand, until then i don't think they're terrible, a nice combination of the earlier shoes penny wore, lets just say they have some potential

They're from the 1st pennys
There are from the Air Flight Ones 
I know which shoes they are from...just wondering if there was any reason for them or was it just a cosmetic / design thing.
 
Those royals are actually dope as hell. Glad to see nike actually doing something right with their new bball releases. I wonder what HOH exclusive colorways are gonna drop, if any.
 
^^^^Lawd! Them thangs are SEXY!!!
I still want the all-reds but I need those binary blues.
