The Nike Air Foamposite One has made waves since its debut in 1997. Designed for Penny Hardaway, one of the all-time great point guards to ever command the floor, the Nike Foamposite (and its unique hard-shell design) has grown into a family of sneakers over the decades.
Today, the boys’ Nike Little Posite One is modeled after Hardaway’s original silhouette with an instantly recognizable futuristic design and Penny’s “1-Cent” logo on the tongue and heel. With a grippy outsole and comfortable inner bootie design that hugs the foot, it’s a great shoe for running around on the playground or around town.
The shoe’s foam shell broke the mold in 1997 with its OG royal blue colorway. When the league wouldn’t let Hardaway don the dark blue shoes because they didn’t match the team’s black uniforms, Hardaway colored in the shoe with a black marker and balled out anyway. Today, the Nike Foamposite and kids’ Nike Little Posite One use the shoe’s hard shell as a canvas for some of the hottest colorways around, perfect for every wardrobe.
