I agree with you on that last part. The IV doesn't fit with the others as far as looks go (even though I still think it is a good lookingshoe). I have always wanted to cut the lace cover to see how it looked. I need to get my hands on that Sole Collector issue.Originally Posted by swingshot

First time i saw them, i was disappointed. They reminded me alot of the XIII.
One of Avar's concept drawings had encapsulated heel air, probably Zoom. Possibly even full length/double stacked zoom.
Even on the OGs the heel unit feels a little unresponsive. Like the shoe was originally designed to have cushioning other than an Air Max unit in the heel.
In the Sole Collector interview Penny says he was told by Nike that the team designing his shoes had been moved to other projects...
Overall, i think the Penny IV represents a shoe that had some major changes from concept to retail product, and that it possibly reflects Nike getting cold feet about Penny after his knee injury.
Don't say that. If they're some Kamikazes, Big Hurt, Shaqs, Emmitts I'd be trying to trade with the quickness.Originally Posted by jae626

Insole is much thicker than on the dreaded $30 Ross version. A bit more comfortable overall, and significantly more comfortable at the forefoot.
I'm not sure if the later ones actually have Zoom in the forefoot?
I forgot to add: Even with the thicker insole, i think the run a little smaller than the Retros.(?)
Does anybody have a picture of the OG black/red or OG black/light blue colorway?
