What prevents the Penny IVs from being a classic?

Penny IV's are dope. They are "classic" in my book.

Who said they weren't? Dudes who play ball swore/swear by them. They were the best shoe out of the line from a performance standpoint.
Lack of hype/casual appeal doesn't necessarily mean a shoe isn't classic for it's intended purpose. Word to Air Pegasus.

Oh and by the way, to those complaining about the narrow fit, try cutting the elastic between the top part of the shoe. It will change everything.

I guarantee if the black phoenix suns colorway s retroed in "limited" quantities, y'all non-believers are gonna be yelling "ReasonableDoubt" and "Blueprint."

Everyone has their own opinion on what's a classic and what's not. But these are a classic in my book too.

This shoe is a classic to me. I chose the OG white/blk/blue over the Jordan XIV, when they landed in stores in November 1998, and I had no regrets. Theperformance, style, and the simplicity was a good to me. The retro version of the wht/blk/blue were a joke. Sadly, I may cop them for dirt cheap at this spot.:/

p.s. sentimental and nostalgic value cant be underestimated...

The retro + colorways tainted this shoe beyond belief. The white/grey and blk/red were well received. But it all went to hell in a Nike bag from there
