Nike Air 1/2 Cent
Posted by Matt Halfhill | Jan 5, 2009 Nike has pumped out nearly as many hybrids as Toyota the past few years, but the next to roll out stands ahead of the rest of the pack. The Nike Air 1/2 Cent is a mashup of five sneakers worn by Anfernee “Penny” Hardaway including the Air Penny, Air Penny II, Air Penny III, Air Penny IV, and of course the Air Foamposite.
Like Jordan Brand paid tribute to Spike Lee, Nike pays tribute to Penny’s sidekick Li’l Penny with the name “1/2 Cent” (his jersey number) as well as his face on the heel of the shoe. The Nike 1/2 Cent will debut in March in a limited release in Black/Royal as well as an all black colorup for a price of $190. Check the better detailed shots after the break from chajinyoung. |

foam heads!! alot of talk about the half cent blu & black maybe purple eggplant!! color… if you lov shoes like most who collet shoes just do it!!!! if that shoe was 250 it would move sneakerheads are waiting 4 that shoe to drop early march!!
Feb 12, 2009 at 6:31 pm
Soul has a point thought, money really doesn’t matter if you are a true collector. I just think these are too ugly to cop.
Feb 12, 2009 at 6:30 pm
Plus they look like a one of those mutations where they ask “What would these people’s children look like?” All smahed together and wierd. They need to keep this one on the drawing board.
Feb 12, 2009 at 6:24 pm
They don’t even look real! I’ll believe when I see it somewhere! And then I’ll pass on $190! You gotta be kidding me
Feb 11, 2009 at 7:42 am
THESE LOOK LIKE A $80 SHOE. NOT $190.
Feb 11, 2009 at 7:40 am
WHY DIDN’T THEY JUST COME OUT WITH THE ORIGINAL AIR PENNY FOAMPOSITE 1′S[ROYAL BLUES] AGAIN? THIS IS JUST A WASTE OF PERFECTLY GOOD FOAM/ROYAL BLUE COLORWAY, IM NOT WASTING MY MONEY.
Feb 10, 2009 at 9:32 pm
These are straight fire. They gonna release these online at all?
Feb 10, 2009 at 8:31 am
these are so sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Feb 7, 2009 at 4:34 am
how can you get a pair of them air penny foamposite hybrid if there just limited what shoe store gon have them
Feb 6, 2009 at 2:07 pm
What is the release date for these? March is very vague ppl. I mean there’s 31 days in that month!!!! I do know that since they are limited DTLR will have them. Better get there early cuz I got a shorty I bagged in Applebee’s last month that manages a DTLR here in ATL!!!!!!
Feb 5, 2009 at 6:04 pm
F THEM CHEAP PPL taking about not f0r 190 B1TCH IF UR A TRUE SNEAKERHEAD THEN 190 ISNT THAT F ING MUCH IF IT IS THEN
*STOP POSING B1TCHES*

Jan 12, 2009 at 12:05 am
for 190 they should throw in 1/2 cent doll with it, pass on these, but the eggplant foams are a most cop 2x
Jan 8, 2009 at 5:18 pm
these is tuff i will be flossing these in the lb
Jan 8, 2009 at 11:57 am
ILLLLL!one of the best hybrids ever blu/blk colorway sickning, worth $190 but I’ll cross my fingers and hope that I can snag a pair when they go down.
Jan 8, 2009 at 7:44 am

FLYGIRLMIKE
That’s all you talk about this is sneaker site i called YOU out because calling everyone else internet thugs and YOU on (1st) comment you know the one you tell us you got (1ST) and then you TRIED TO SOUND TOUGH by saying if anyone don’t like to suk your tic tac manhood that all u do is talk ball & nutts. This aint no porn site it’s sneaker site maybe you got CONFUSED when you stealing someone else user name and decide to BE SO HARD ON YOUR (1st) comment i think you got the sites mixed up to what site YOU on every comeback comment you got is about your tic tac nuts someone’s mother & balls that’s the sh*t you write in all your little grade school comebacks when someone calls you out i ain’t the only one that noticed that i see either so WE ALL KNOW U SHOUDN’T BE CALLING SOMEONE ELSE GAY.
Jan 7, 2009 at 9:17 pm
OMfG!
I am copping both of these kicks!
Jan 7, 2009 at 1:51 pm
Those royals are hitting, but goodness $190, and you know after tax is added they will be hitting heads for $200. Gonna have to think long and hard abouth copping these. Especially with the eggplant foams coming out a month before them for over $200 and the Air Griffy’s a month after these.
Jan 7, 2009 at 10:04 am
soleslaved ur mad gay u go on every page just to see if i comment so u can say somthing slick but ur pu$$y as hell u wouldnt say none of this to my face grow up and stop being an internet thug ur probably 13 tryna get a lil hair on your balls
Jan 7, 2009 at 2:32 am
Yep– these are hot but at 190 this price is way to high– people don’t have that type of m’s now– stop crossing the jordan’s enuff is enuff– (did I pick a f up name?–lol o well)
Jan 6, 2009 at 9:48 pm
#99 FLYGIRLMIKE
You just tickled pink about matt’s comments or as you put it effin funny had YOU rolling. YOU really need to be looking in the mirror when you laughing the jokes on you flygirl because you’re one of the dumb azz on another page running that 1st comment sh*t and yea you know who it is don’t try front now like he ain’t talking about you too dum dum.
Jan 6, 2009 at 7:33 pm
commerating kicks from a lost player who lost his MOJO of FAME so there is no reason for NIKE” to bless us with these kicks at RAPE PRICING get real then they will be clearanced out in the NIKE OUTLETs a few weeks later when they are a BUST. They know how to get you HYPEBEAST every tyme.
Jan 6, 2009 at 7:02 pm
I like them. I would definitely play ball in them.
but it’s true they are doing a little too much of this hybridin’
They could atleast space out the release dates. They acting like people gonna stop buying sneakers.
Jan 6, 2009 at 6:52 pm
The nike sign in the blue ruins it.
Jan 6, 2009 at 5:25 pm
$190 is too much. I’d still rather each one of the shoes separate. But, I think it is one of the better hybrids to date.
Jan 6, 2009 at 4:58 pm
I think Both colorways are tight but $190 is too much i think the highest for these shoes is $150. But im gonna get either pair this year since i havent seen any jordan that capture my attention yet.
Jan 6, 2009 at 2:50 pm
Yellowed clear sole adds character like the XI’s no sole will stay perfect anyway snatchin 2 pair royal blue/ black joints where r they releasin?
Jan 6, 2009 at 1:44 pm
The black ones are better and yes, not for $190.00
Jan 6, 2009 at 12:35 pm
The Blue Joints Are HARD, but WHY do they keep puttin’ gum soles on these shoes…I KNOW they were on the foamposite’s but give it 8 or 9 months MAX and you never want to wear them anymore except to wash your car because of that nasty yellow thing at the bottom of your shoe!
Jan 6, 2009 at 10:02 am
matt to effin funny man had me rollin but these kicks are straight crack i need these in my life please come out with a red pair or like a navy blue pair or even an eggplant pair cause i dont like royal blue but these kicks are fire
Jan 6, 2009 at 9:29 am
not for 190…
Jan 6, 2009 at 9:15 am
These shoes is straight, i could see myself buyin the all black ones….but 190 is a lil deap….and for those of you sayin to stop complainin about price bcuz nike could easily charge 250 for these wit all the technology in them…..plz, these damn shoes cost nike no more then 20 bux a piece to make…and thats probably a stretch…..nike could easily make these 110…….but you slap 190 on there and make em limited and people will buy them regardless
Jan 6, 2009 at 9:04 am
stricly balling shoe. thats it!
Jan 6, 2009 at 8:34 am
NE1 KNOW WHERE I CAN COPP THESE EARLY; ILL GO UP TO 320.
Jan 6, 2009 at 8:26 am
The black ones I would cop
Jan 6, 2009 at 7:24 am
these are incredible. stop the hate. and please stop complaining about the price. if u r a true sneakerhead then price should not be an option. if u like em, u get em. if u dont, u dont. simple as that. by far this is the best fusion ive seen.
Jan 6, 2009 at 4:06 am
#48 phuck eastland mall and harold penner is a rip-off/ those cats charge like 180 for wheat timberlands. go to south park/carolina place mall. i dont phuck with eastland because in 1999 i got banned 10 years for gun charges there.
Jan 6, 2009 at 3:58 am
#86 jb aint go be doing sh-t; thats why im copping these and i never like pennys (besides the foamosites) but i will have these
Jan 6, 2009 at 3:40 am
i actually kind of like these
id ball in them
Jan 6, 2009 at 2:40 am
I really dig them, esp. the royal blue/black colorway. Probably one of the few fusions that I’ll actually buy 2 pairs of.
Jan 6, 2009 at 2:34 am
I’ll cop at least one pair of the Blk/Royal cw. Str8 FI-YAH!
Jan 6, 2009 at 2:17 am
so when nike will mix the LeBron, Kobe or even Carter???
Jan 6, 2009 at 2:10 am
these go hard….the blk ones might b worth the 190 fom sho….ima hav to see what JB does around the time these drop…
Jan 6, 2009 at 1:21 am
they look iight, i’ll give em some time they’ll grow on me
Jan 6, 2009 at 12:49 am
they so hot ill have sex wit em
Jan 6, 2009 at 12:23 am
UGLY!
Jan 5, 2009 at 10:45 pm
With the better quality of pictures/camera angle they will change alot of people’s minds.
Jan 5, 2009 at 10:19 pm
these look stupid
Jan 5, 2009 at 10:13 pm
#78 THE BLUES ARE THE HOTTEST
Jan 5, 2009 at 10:11 pm
IVE MADE UP MY MIND; IM DEFINATELY GETTING 2 PAIR JUST FOR YALL GIRLS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE PRICE AND SO I CAN HAVE A PAIR IN THE CUT WITH A FRESH CLEAR OUTSOLE. I DECLARE THESE THE BEST NON-RETRO OF 2009. OTHER THAN THE GRIFFEY MAX/ RUMORED CDPS DROPPING IN 09; THIS IS GOOD AS IT GETS AND AFTER I COP THOSE IM BUYING STRAIGHT RETRO KICKS. I MAY GET SOME AJ2009S JUST CAUSE.Â
Jan 5, 2009 at 9:59 pm
LET ME START OFF BY SAYING THAT THE BLACK ONES ARE BY FAR THE COLDEST! AND I ALSO LIKE HOW THEY INCORPORATED EVERY LITTLE DESIGN OF ALL THE SHOES AND ROLLED THEM ALL INTO ONE QUITE THOUGHFULLY…MAKES A TRUE PENNY FAN PROUD.
Jan 5, 2009 at 9:57 pm
MATT YOU GO LET #54 TRY YOU LIKE THAT; I GOT TRUCKLOADS OF KICKS BUT I WOULDN’T NEVER TRY THE HOST LIKE THAT; TOTAL DISRESPECT; GIVE HIM THE BOOT
Jan 5, 2009 at 9:20 pm
i like these joints…wish the guap wasn’t in da $200 range tho…=/
Jan 5, 2009 at 9:05 pm
Comment #54 is confused about life.
Jan 5, 2009 at 8:17 pm
DESE WILL MAKE UP 4 ALL DA PENNYS I WANTD..LOL.. EVN THOUGH ITS NUTHN LKE THE ORIGINALS..
I LUV DA LIL PENNY FACE ON DA BOTTOM..
ANY1 STILL HAV A LIL PENNY DOLL?
I STILL GOT 2.
Jan 5, 2009 at 8:12 pm
LOOK OUT; THE KOBE/LEBRON FUSIONS ARE NEXT; HOPEFULLY THEY ARENT BRED WITH AIR FORCE 1S.
Jan 5, 2009 at 8:10 pm
THE FOAMPOSITE MATERIAL ON THE BLACK ON BLACK MODEL SHOULD HAVE BEEN SILVER LIKE ON THE TIM DUNCAN FOAMPOSITES. TOO MUCH BLACK BUT THEY ARE FLY TOO.
Jan 5, 2009 at 8:04 pm
71st lol!
Jan 5, 2009 at 8:02 pm
THANK YOU MATT! I know this isn’t the 1st time you addressed that DUMB AZZ 1ST SH*T the same thing i was thinking but as for the sneaks these is nice.
Jan 5, 2009 at 8:00 pm
The BLUE ONES ARE SEXY =D
Jan 5, 2009 at 7:54 pm
THESE ARE HOT NO DOUBT BUT IDK BOUT $190….$120 AND WE GOT A DEAL..MAYBE A RED/BLK COLORWAY OR A BLK/WHITE DR.DOOM EDITION??
Jan 5, 2009 at 7:46 pm
sometimes Price defines status! If you can’t afford them, they weren”t made for you! Nike might not want to see bama azz people in their shoes.
Jan 5, 2009 at 7:42 pm
Oh boy, so now I’m a hater because I “complain” about the price? I could easily cop these dam kicks 15 times over. Price is never an issue for me. I’m just trying to figure out the justification of the $190 price tag for a ‘hybrid’ comprised retros that came out years ago. [That goes the SAME for any Jordan 'fusions' that have dropped.]
So does that mean all the ‘technology’ used in the newer kicks brought out Nike these days are inferior to these?
Never copped foamposites or any of the Penny’s, so if someone is able to ’school’ me, feel free. Knowing is half the battle. *lol*
Jan 5, 2009 at 7:41 pm
stop the IGNORANT SHT! Half you kids were in diapers when penny and mike were daily epsn high lights, if nike and MJ put out these shoes (1/2 pennys & six rings) without explaining the concept, ask yourselves, would you cop, leaving your own imagination about the shoe? I’m retired, but if I was balln’****a must have!
Jan 5, 2009 at 7:39 pm
i’d get the blue ones to put on ice and rock the blk/blk
Jan 5, 2009 at 7:38 pm
Yo those black joints are smooth!!
Jan 5, 2009 at 7:28 pm
blue ones arent that bad
Jan 5, 2009 at 7:27 pm
“Just something to chew on” lmao But ummm…at first glance i dont like these..but the all blacks look nice..would like to see a couple more colorways..
Jan 5, 2009 at 6:50 pm
ME LIKE ILL COPP THESE I AGREE IM A JORDAN FAN BUT THE 09 JORDAN IS FUGLY DEFF LIKE THESE
Jan 5, 2009 at 6:47 pm
besides foamposites; i never had a pair of pennys and these will be the 1st and since income taxes are coming i may just co both
Jan 5, 2009 at 6:42 pm
and #50(darneezy)i 100%agree. all yall crying about 190 need to get ya sh-t together. these could be 250 easy and id still pay for them. ill have the blue/black model. id rather pay 190 for these than those crap aZ$ jordan 2k9 anyday and im a die-hard jordan fan. for all yall complaining 180 is the new standard price for nice nikes and ill pay it proudly.beautiful footwork
Jan 5, 2009 at 6:24 pm
Mark my word, these shoes will go down as top 5 of all time. All of you haters are out of your mind to trash these shoes. I think some of you are so used to hating on everything that it has become habitual to hate on everything regardless of how hot it is. Click on the chajinyoung link and see for yourself. I myself think these are the hottest shoe I have ever seen, and $190…. stop crying, the foams are 200 and these are the foams plus the 2,3 and 4. Get a grip haterz.
Jan 5, 2009 at 6:24 pm
these are the only shoes ive seen so far in 2009 that i actually want and will have. i just got those total length foamposite max for a steal off ebay and i am gonna cop those foampostie retros(purp)in feb. these are the best nike fusion hands down. ill have em
Jan 5, 2009 at 6:16 pm
hopefully, i’ll have these
Jan 5, 2009 at 6:15 pm
shut up matt from nicekicks you prolly dont even got any good sneakers
Jan 5, 2009 at 6:15 pm
not feelin these the blks look mean though i cant c em on my feet if they look decent ina 13 i mite holla if nothin good is out
Jan 5, 2009 at 6:14 pm
ugly as fugg
Jan 5, 2009 at 6:14 pm
def not worth 190 and the blackones are alright but really not feeling these oh and nike needs to retro the navy and white penny II’s those r way better then the 2 CW’s they recently retroed
Jan 5, 2009 at 6:10 pm
As we stated long ago, when these first surfaced… you all are LUCKY, with all the technology that is IN THIS SHOE, that it is ONLY $190!
With all those Penny’s meshed into one shoe, you’re lucky they aren’t upwards of $250-$300!
Then you’d really be acting like little girls.
Don’t/didn’t see too many people complaining about the Spiz’ike being $175 and that could’ve retailed for MORE THAN THAT!
Jan 5, 2009 at 6:08 pm
I meant to spell DTLR. My mistake!
Jan 5, 2009 at 6:05 pm
I love da whole PENNY series, but not a fan of’em being put into 1 shoe. Definitely not for $190. I could get da gold and silver FLIGHTPOSITES @ Harold Pener in Charlotte for $109 a pair. I think thats a better deal=$210. Anyone knows what stores are gettin’ da Eggplant FOAMS? I’ve asked DTRL, Footaction, Foot Locker, FinishLine, HIBBETT SPORTS, and Champs. None of’em said they were.
Jan 5, 2009 at 6:02 pm
I’m definitely getting those Black ones to tribute Penny but I’m not paying $190.
Jan 5, 2009 at 5:55 pm
$190? Nike has flipped their wigs.
http://www.kixpo.com
Jan 5, 2009 at 5:47 pm
they look ok.
Jan 5, 2009 at 5:47 pm
Coppin these fa sho, I guess I can leave my penny foamposite on ice. dnt care too much for hybrids as far as collecting. Jus like lookin fly in tight shoes
Jan 5, 2009 at 5:40 pm
Not bad, but not for $190…Even with the discount, only a maybe for me.
Jan 5, 2009 at 5:29 pm
soo sick…. i only like 2 other fusions.. 6 rings and spizikes.. and now these.. i think that goes to show that if nike just found the right parts of each shoe to piece together, they could have had themselves a GOLDEN concept.. but nike chose some real wack fusions
Jan 5, 2009 at 5:28 pm
^^^^absolutely, why cant people understand that. they cant separate what THEY would pay for the kicks from what the shoes are actually worth.
and anyway,
190 X 30 percent employee discount= $133. DEAL
Jan 5, 2009 at 5:23 pm
must have for penny heads \ eggplant foams as well………..
Jan 5, 2009 at 5:02 pm
air max + foamposite + penny = $$$ out your ass
Jan 5, 2009 at 4:53 pm
first game is crack
these are heat
Jan 5, 2009 at 4:52 pm
THAT PRICE IS A NEGATIVE–IM SURE THEY WILL DROP PRICE EARLY IN NYC…I DONT SEE THE DEMAND HIGH FOR ANY SET OF HYBRIDS OUTSIDE OF BRED 6 RINGS!
Jan 5, 2009 at 4:51 pm
last
those kicks are hot
Jan 5, 2009 at 4:49 pm
also LMAO @ #17
Jan 5, 2009 at 4:49 pm
the black ones are nice
Jan 5, 2009 at 4:48 pm
30th!
saw some like this in france many years back at the cite europe mall - almost bought them but the bottom looked primed to get punctured by a drawing pin - or thumb tack as you merry cans call them.
Jan 5, 2009 at 4:48 pm
Looks like NIKE is getting lazy once again.
Jan 5, 2009 at 4:46 pm
Not even icey soles or Pennys name can carry these. Who would honestly pay $190 for these? They should just put out the Penny Foams.
Jan 5, 2009 at 4:45 pm
they´re lookin´ kinda bulky - like a bigger & uglier version of the nike bakin! And nope, this is not a $190 shoe!
Jan 5, 2009 at 4:42 pm
these actually arent bad id cop
Jan 5, 2009 at 4:39 pm
Anfernee Hardaway would like to thank Nike for saying “he is half the player he used to be (aka half a penny)” —
We all KNOW it, but damn… Nike is Coooold for that haha
Jan 5, 2009 at 4:37 pm
They Fresh but ill wait till they drop in price.
Jan 5, 2009 at 4:33 pm
nice but not for 190.
Jan 5, 2009 at 4:33 pm
190 i don’t think so i will pass on these i love the penny series and the foamposites this combo is horrible not worth the price….
Jan 5, 2009 at 4:33 pm
190 i don’t think so i will pass on these i love the penny series and the foamposites this combo is horrible not worth the price….
Jan 5, 2009 at 4:31 pm
in all honesty, dem joints is ice..I wouldcop but 190 is rape hardbody..but da black n blue r nice I must admit
Jan 5, 2009 at 4:22 pm
All i can say is WTH in 3 different ways.
WTH?!- This is sh*t is raw!!
WTH?!- I don’t get all these remix crap that Nike just make.
and last
Seriously WTH is this sh*t?!
leave penny alone.
Jan 5, 2009 at 4:16 pm
i like the blue ones. straight fire. but $190 you gotta be kiddin me. still gonna cop em though
Jan 5, 2009 at 4:13 pm
The BLACK ones are amazingly wearer friendly with jeans I bet. I might be investing in these because JB has’nt showed me anything promiising for ‘09.
Jan 5, 2009 at 4:09 pm
SMH @ unlimitedfutwear^^^^^”coppin four pair”..really thats 800 dollars…lol..but seriously those shoes look decent and they are probably some good ballin shoes, the price is justified
Jan 5, 2009 at 4:09 pm
they look like krap
Jan 5, 2009 at 3:56 pm
omg total heat coppin 4 pair
Jan 5, 2009 at 3:51 pm
Yeah, the “First” stuff, no matter how many times we say it, is FAR PASSED “played out” You get NO REWARDS for it…
Well, maybe the JACKASS AWARD!
Anyway - Aside from the Citron/CG Spiz’ikes, these are the only “Fusion” kicks I’ve been waiting on.
The Black/Black’s are an easy skip.
Jan 5, 2009 at 3:46 pm
LMAO #7…
good ish matt…
Jan 5, 2009 at 3:43 pm
that not even a $190 sneaker, thats a $120 sneaker. nike is really tryin to rape us
Jan 5, 2009 at 3:41 pm
the blk joints are hot……but not for 190
Jan 5, 2009 at 3:41 pm
JOZ3â„¢
The 1st game is retarded, but what about the way that you type?
Consider the shoes copped even though I hate fusions.
Jan 5, 2009 at 3:41 pm
These is raw.
Jan 5, 2009 at 3:39 pm
lol stop it Matt, but yes, the first game is getting VERY VERY old!
I like these shoes a lot, but I think I will pass if I am able to get two pairs of the Eggplant Foamposites.

Yella B-More MD,
Last time I was up in Oregon someone at the Beaverton Campus told me that they will stop with the remix shoes when people stop playing the “first” game on NiceKicks.com…
Just something to chew on.
Jan 5, 2009 at 3:32 pm
FiRE!
Jan 5, 2009 at 3:32 pm
Those all black ones look kinda hard, but not for $190.00
