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

[casper90403]

i think these go better with SF Giants than the Orioles colors.

 

[riddla713]

picked up my 2 pairs this morning around 9 30 am, i had my pairs locked down but it was an easy cop for others at my local hoh. i think the store i went to had like 18 pairs total and they opened at 9 am and when i left around 9 45 am they still had 4 pairs left. they are pretty hot in person and comfortable imo, im only keeping the sz 10.5 because the sz 11 is just a tad big. they are my first pair of rookies and im sure i will cop some more if they drop some more dope colorways.

dunno of other locations will receive em later but i doubt it.. they supposedly never received the glow in the dark joint 2.... shady hoh's but its all good

you could of copped a sz 11 if you could of made it up to hoh before 10 am, when i left around 9 45 am they still had sz 9.5 and 11 but im sure the sz 11 was gone soon after i left.

Really was never feeling these since pics surfaced. Bring on the all blacks 

 

[eugenile gts]

got em today..

the only problem, they are size 9.5 when i wear 11-12 lol

Might just pick up the Binary's now that it seems that there's almost a FSR on Eastbay again.  Max Orange's look good too!

Would you care to elaborate.....being as the San Fransisco Giants & the Baltimore Orioles wear the EXACT same colors?

Btw....I knew the homie Ninjahood wasn't gonna feel these. They need to have a trace of royal blue added to the mix for him to want to mess with them. It's that NY mind state of his.

 

[cashm0neyand1]

Gotta agree that an all black colorway would be even better. hopefully that'll be a GR

Pretty surprised Eastbay still has a FSR of the blue ones.  Guess most people are in the same boat as me, I want them but bottom line there's too much other stuff coming out over the next month.  Also reading that a lot of people think they're uncomfortable didn't exactly help either.

Also, saw the black and orange ones.  They are so, so, so fire.  Unfortunately I'm doubling up on the black III's, can't spare an extra 2 bills.

Binarys came in yesterday, pretty dope in person. Think that's the only cw I'll cop

They re-stocked. The only had like a 7, 7.5 and 14 during the week(when I checked at least).

lol.. I was thinkin the same thing.... Black/Orange vs  Black /Orange... hmmmm
*Peter Griffin Shrug*

I guess the most I can do now is wait on the All Blacks.. wear some Orange Socks and Orange laces and hope no one notices

By the way...  I cant wait on the Reds to arrive.  Then I'll be somewhat ok I missed these Max Oranges.  For now... its a Binary and Atlantic love affair.  I hope some translucent colored soles can be used on future releases.  Can you imagine a translucent Orange?

thats what i meant. Orioles orange just seems darker to me. The picture with the O's hats a couple pages back made me feel that way. 
  

 

[nikedealer]

I actually didnt know the O's changed their Bird... when they do that??

 

[kingjay718]

My store hasn't sold any.  Our warehouse is full of these.  binarys are nice but not 200.00 nice.

fams they dope, if anything they tie into....

but i dont want to get these and da all black seeing as how they're basically da same minus da inner sock..plus to tell you da truth i aint feeling da over explosion of color on da tonge in a otherwise muted shoe.

da all blacks look alot more balanced, plus they are also employing da same anthracite shimmer these have so they are a no brainer.

 

[Shwa3 Ma3]

Ninja.....^^^^ throwback Suns jersey is FIRE!
And you right.....All Blacks are gonna be a problem. So sick. These Rookies are just a dope shoe...period. And I usually don't &@#% with hybrids.
Damn white/blacks are gonna dig into my Concords money. But it's all good, I need those too.

They just changed the hat logo back to the cartoon bird this week. I was running around the house doing cartwheels.

I hated that anatomically correct bird.

Cartoon Bird.....FTW!

I still think the Orange is the same for both Orioles & Giants. Where are my west coast heads? Nobody has a Giants fitted to post with these Rookies?

 

[kingjay718]

Who cares what hue of orange it is? You can go either way with this.

 

[thapointguy]

cincy bengals too

 

[bigj505]

oranges look great.

im loving the binaries tho. kinda glad not everyone in bmore is wearing these right now like they do with foams. was at the store 2 days ago and 3 dudes had on pewters and 4 had on the retro blue pros.

 

[Shwa3 Ma3]

And when you walked out the store....4 more had on Pine Greens.

 

[andown goes frasier]

How much yall think da resale value of da max oranges gonna be? Ebay is from 350-600 so far .... wonder if these will hit "south beach " bron prices.
