Nike Air Penny 2 "Miami Heat" Retro
The Nike Air Penny 2 is headed back to retailers, but this time it’s skipping out on any colorway associated with the team that Penny represented during his All-Star and NBA Finals trips and instead hints at a rival: the Miami Heat. Penny only played a handful of games with the squad before hanging up his signatures for good, but the Nike Air Penny 2 “Miami Heat” is reason enough to remember his brief stint there thanks to an awesome colorway of black, university red, and varsity maize. Slated for a March 18th release for $150 this Penny 2 release bridges the gap between one of Anfernee’s most notable early signature models and his career’s often forgotten twilight bouncing around numerous NBA teams. What do you think of the release? Check out more photos below and head to our release dates page for more updates. via SneakerNews.com
Jesse Owens is the Inspiration behind Adidas Basketball Black History Month Collection
Known as one of the greatest athletes of all-time not just for his track and field feats but also his cultural impact as a pioneering African American in sports, Jesse Owens inspires the 2016 Black History Month collection for adidas Basketball. World renowned after winning four gold medals at the 1936 Berlin Olympic games as a black man in the face of Nazi Germany, Owens has since been a symbol of social justice and racial equality in sports as well as all of society. With colorways inspired by the track spikes hand-crafted by adidas founder Adi Dassler that Owens wore during those Olympics, the D Rose 6, D Lillard 2, and Crazylight Boost 2.5 all receive the special edition BHM makeovers to celebrate the legacy of African Americans in sports. The D Rose 6features a tumbled leather upper with an aged treatment to pay homage to the medal-winning spikes worn by Owens, while the colorway is finished with off-white accents, a clear outsole with gold flecks, and a graphic on the inner lining depicting the Olympic crowd. The D Lillard 2 receives an off-white color palette representing the track uniform Owens wore in 1936 with cracked gold foil texture and cream suede. Finishing the trio, the Crazylight Boost 2.5 which will be worn by James Harden and Andrew Wiggins features an off-white Primeknit upper and also includes the same gold foil as the D Lillard 2. The Black History Month D Rose 6 and D Lillard 2 both release later this month at adidas.com. via SneakerNews.com
