Nike Air 1/2 Cent (Half Cent) Penny
Posted by vulkan | Jul 3, 2008 Ever wonder what would a shoe look like if you got all the Penny Hardaway shoes and made them into one shoe? Me neither, but Nike did and created another fusion/remix shoe that takes elements from all the Penny shoes we have grown to love.
This is the Nike Air Half-Cent and pictures have leaked online now and people are really taking a good hard look at this crazy looking shoe. Get ready for more remixes to come out from Nike in the future featuring more Iconic shoes from the 90’s. March 2009 Update:Â We have just posted a new feature of the Nike Air Penny II and of the Nike Air 1/2 Cent. |

Mar 7, 2009 at 12:23 pm
Y’all boys need to get yalls money up if u can’t afford 190 for some shoes don’t look for the latest shoe fashions. And I bet all y’all go and pay 310 for the jordan packages that only have 1 good pair out of the 2 that come in it

Mar 3, 2009 at 1:11 am
there are too many comments from resellers and hypebeasts on this post.if 190 is too steep, dont you think 200 on penny foams is a bit much as well? these are dope, and the less people that refuse to cop, the less of these we’ll see flooding ebay and wdywt forums
Feb 28, 2009 at 10:20 am
Yo Damneardeadstock how you call yourself a Penny Fan and you wont drop $190, they cost that much because of the foamposite plastic on them. Plus there STUPID! I’ve been rocking Pennies sice the AIR SHARK (Thats right Penny Airmax is not the first pair of Pennies) Peace

Nov 18, 2008 at 12:08 pm
Any sneaker head with a eye for a good sneaker can see that these sneakers are HOT! I think nike has done a great job in bring out fusions,spi’kes,hybred,and retros. I know some of ya’ll are pinching pennies,but here in NYC, we can’t wait until these hit.I been waiting for these,the eggplant foamposite,and the jordans 11/12 combo pk.That all I’m going to cope for now this winter
Nov 7, 2008 at 9:59 pm

Oct 11, 2008 at 9:40 pm
THis is what i am talking about. THis is a shoe worth getting. If you are a real shoehead like me and love shoes, you will pay that 190. I am getting this shoes. To me its like a new born baby. f you think 190 is to much then why call yourself a SHOEHEAD?!?
Oct 11, 2008 at 12:32 pm
THEY SHOUL COST 250/THEYRE WORTH IT
Oct 11, 2008 at 12:22 pm

Jul 8, 2008 at 12:54 pm
i like em..i like em alot! but i do hope that NIKE dont OD with fusions and collabs between sneakz..it really,really does kill the history behind these sneakers if they keep doing hybrids or corny ass retroe colors….
the game has been Killed… :/
Jul 8, 2008 at 10:27 am
all who say they cost too much are trippin. they dont cost more than any other penny and they’re better
Jul 7, 2008 at 4:24 pm
dope
Jul 5, 2008 at 8:27 pm
I never seen this penny before he never worn on the court with Magic and i already had seen got on Air Up,nike flight one and air pennys 1,2,3,4 and Air foamposite one ..what is this penny 5 ??? they are mix with air foamposite one and penys 1,2,3..whoa ! for $190.00 they R better than Air Jordan
Jul 5, 2008 at 1:37 am

Jul 5, 2008 at 1:06 am
I LOVE THEM
Jul 5, 2008 at 1:05 am
I love them $190 is good when do they come march 09 is to long
Jul 4, 2008 at 1:19 pm
Man!, these look like Poppa Smurf Boots, Awful!
Jul 4, 2008 at 12:46 pm
Just to let you know that I would be the first in line! And actually, I think these look better than any Jordan fusions I ever seen. And to all these folks hatin, hate! Hate on people, hate on! More for me!
Jul 4, 2008 at 9:31 am
I think these are sick. I will be on a mission to get all of the penny joints that make up the hybrid shoe.
Jul 4, 2008 at 8:27 am
LOL @ the cheap asses of NiceKicks (when it comes to these) yet many claim to be getting the Nike Air Yeezy, when they drop… and that’s not even a GR!
$190 = “too much?” …Okay! LMAO!
Anyway, these are pretty sick. Like biggrizzly said, these shoes have A LOT of the Nike technology incorporated into them from EVERY Penny sneaker and could/SHOULD EASILY be more than $190, yet a lot of you in here, I’m pretty sure, have broken your necks for a CDP release ($310 - $331+ w/tax), but these are “too high” and blah blah blah.
I’m ready for the next photo drops. Definitely keep us posted with these.
Jul 4, 2008 at 5:12 am
Half of the comments made in ths forum was jus crazy! Peeple have been buying shoes 4 all types of prices whether high or low or stupid high like these.
Jul 3, 2008 at 9:19 pm
actually people, i work at a pretty famous “boutique” and the RETAIL of the foams is only 180. yeah this shoe is 190 but it has the Foam technology, the bubbles, the 3M, and all that. the price is justifiable. if you don’t want to pay for it, DON’T. its that simple, but you would pay 250 for a pair of jordans with less stuff just because its a limited release? smh. Penny has always had the best nikes in my opinion and i’ll be copping these regardless. and i bet most of you complaining about the price will cop them as well….
Jul 3, 2008 at 6:03 pm
Hmm lets remember this one and count the days till they hit outlets! $190 is too much for that shoe. I’d like to see the actual cost of the shoe to see if Nike is justifying the cost to make profit. I HEART NIKE but sometimes I DON’T HEART the markups on the prices.
Jul 3, 2008 at 5:59 pm
They REALLY need some NEW Designers over at Nike & Jordan Brand all the overpriced Fusion ideas needs to be pulled!
Jul 3, 2008 at 5:35 pm
I’d cop for cheap off ‘the bay’
Jul 3, 2008 at 4:11 pm
they should follow the 1/2 cent theme and cut the price in half and maybe these would sell well…
Jul 3, 2008 at 3:35 pm
i dont like these at all. the blue is way to bright and 190 these shoes should be 120 mabye
Jul 3, 2008 at 3:18 pm
Why doesnt Nike really step their game up, come out with a crazy hybrid fushion of the Air Jordan, Penny, Barkley, Rodman and who ever the F else wore Nike’s that sold in the 90’s…could even call them the Air Step your game up…for $753.34. Shoes could be ugly as hell but who cares…they’d be desired.
Jul 3, 2008 at 1:22 pm
Ultra wack
Jul 3, 2008 at 1:20 pm
yo these is crack how they mixed the foamposites wit those other penny shose deez is a most cop
Jul 3, 2008 at 1:17 pm
joints is wack
Jul 3, 2008 at 12:43 pm
Say stop with the man its too much if you really copp kicks then you should be.V.I.P and get the empl- discount like i get at FOOTACTION, CHAMPS, FOOTLOCKER, DAMN STEP YOUR GAME UP A CLOSED MOUTH DONT GET FED.( YOU GET IT ) DAMN JUST HOLLA AT SOME ONE AT A SHOE STORE WITH THE DISCOUNT THEY WOULD COME DOWN TO 130-140.
Jul 3, 2008 at 12:41 pm
Just another fact confirming that the world is about to end
Jul 3, 2008 at 12:26 pm
Well……Regular foams r 200….but u can now pick dem up at PYS 4 140. NE ways 190 is a it 4 dis cuz its not all dat. N with gas n housing prices going up (im only 15) its gonna b hard 2 make 190 dollars outta 1/2 a cent.
Jul 3, 2008 at 12:14 pm
When is Nike and Jordan going to release their shoes to the masses and stop these urban account & limited releases?
Jul 3, 2008 at 12:13 pm
these r iigh but not for 190 my friend
Jul 3, 2008 at 11:52 am
THEY SHOULD BE CALLED ***NO CENTS*** - cause it makes NO SENSE why they would be $190 - They are not collector shoes, they are a mash up of collector shoes..Price should be $150 - and thats if they are lightweight and comparable to Basketball made sneakers! Sidebar — THESE ARE FIRE! I will be copping once they hit Nike Factory Outlets 2 week after drop - just like the AJ VI Carmines did for only $99! Hahah!
Jul 3, 2008 at 11:32 am
Too much use of the clear sole, now. Ridiculous when you condsider that eventually the clear soles turn fugly, redering quality shoes fugly.
Not that these are quality shoes - sure not $190 worth. Just sayin’…
Jul 3, 2008 at 11:19 am
Definitely looks like a pair of Vick’s. They aiight, but da $190 isn’t. I would get’em if they were like $100 or $120.
Jul 3, 2008 at 11:02 am
they hard, i’d ball in them no question, but for $190 i just don’t think it’s worth it… i’d rather just cop an extra pair of penny ii for cheaper than this.
Jul 3, 2008 at 10:42 am
They are kinda fresh, I already see them growing on me but…$190 WHY? That is more $ than a fresh pair of J’s. That’s a pretty “Penny” to pay for some Nikes. (I know that was a corny joke)
Jul 3, 2008 at 10:19 am
you are a funny guy Matt. I agree, I never wondered what they would look like fused together. but Nike must be doing well with the idea or they wouldn’t keep doing it
Jul 3, 2008 at 10:08 am
Vick came to mind as soon as I saw them.
Jul 3, 2008 at 10:02 am
c-mon 190 is pocket chang to all you ballers…LOL
that’s week these are dope I’m copping 2 pair no problem
J/K i’m getting just one pair…
Jul 3, 2008 at 9:25 am
I can see the hype beasts drooling all over these.
http://www.kixpo.com
Jul 3, 2008 at 9:20 am
i would cop these joints..
Jul 3, 2008 at 9:16 am
Copped…IMEDIATELY!
Jul 3, 2008 at 9:03 am
You guys realize how expensive Pennys were back in the day right?
Jul 3, 2008 at 8:42 am
they tuff but $190, thats to much being i like to cop 2pair, rock one and put the other pair away… but they is tuff tho
Jul 3, 2008 at 8:24 am
well, the shape reminds me of those Michael Vick shoes
Jul 3, 2008 at 8:11 am
PR CHewwin I think you are missing the point about the $190 complaints it’s not the actual cost but it’s more people feeling if this actual shoe is worth $190. Also, just because you spend $190 on kicks doesn’t make you a true sneaker head. I prefer value over price any day of the week. To each is own.
Jul 3, 2008 at 8:05 am
Nice, clean design… but I’d rather put my money towards something else better
Jul 3, 2008 at 7:49 am
MAN yall complaining are WEAK!! 190 is nothing if your a TRUE SHOE HEAD!! Step Your Game Up!!
Jul 3, 2008 at 7:37 am
I would get em if they were about 40 or 50 dollars cheaper.
Jul 3, 2008 at 6:12 am
Wow Nike is killing this fusion type concept this year. The sneaker itself definitely has potential but I need to see it in person before I rush to judgment. There are lots of aspects I like about this shoe though, the colorway, clear bottom sole, the crackle in the Nike check, the Penny logo and of course the air bubble in the back with the blue stripped details. I think they used a little too much Orlando blue trying to make it like the foamposite and could have flipped it a little and added maybe black or another color within the grooves but that is just me. Also $190 is a bit much but by March 2009 I might feel differently about the price.
Jul 3, 2008 at 5:57 am
I’m a Penny fan and I will cop all the retro’s they release and deadstock a few but this is just not worth copping. I’m not a fusion guy, I’m not a remix guy, I’m not a “team” shoe guy…
K.I.S.S. = Keep It Simple Stupid
Jul 3, 2008 at 5:54 am
I kind of like em but 190 is pretty steep.
Jul 3, 2008 at 4:42 am
i would honestly cop these joints..they dont look too shaby name is corny n price tag is off the reservation tho i think a even 150 wud b more suitable for the masses…they kinda like the spizike n im feelin those so i like these too..i wonder wat all the barkleys would look like..that would b interesting to see tho
Jul 3, 2008 at 4:35 am
190/ i wudnt pay 1/2 a cent for these{get it 1/2 cent}
Jul 3, 2008 at 3:18 am
would make a great collectors shoe
Jul 3, 2008 at 2:54 am
Good –> Hard kicks that are unique and have strong appeal.
Bad –> $190 price point. wtf?
Jul 3, 2008 at 2:41 am
NO THANKS!!! that price is ridiculous.
Jul 3, 2008 at 2:39 am
they aight, im like the rest of yall 190 is a bit much
Jul 3, 2008 at 2:22 am
i would prefer buying some j’s cause 190 is 2 much
Jul 3, 2008 at 1:47 am
i would love to see who the hell would buy these for $190
i am a HUGE penny fan, and i love his entire line of shoes. but no sneaker is worth a $190 MSRP
Jul 3, 2008 at 12:57 am
nike needs to stop with all these hybrids and just bring back the og colors of the sneaks that everybody is fiending for. this is worse than the foamposite/ boots they did.bring it back to the essence
Jul 3, 2008 at 12:42 am
190?? dont think so!! they aight!!!
Jul 3, 2008 at 12:41 am
is it just me or does these remind you of the Michael Vick’s?
Jul 3, 2008 at 12:36 am
1st
