Nike Air Penny 1 References Penny Hardaway's Lester Middle School An upcoming retro of the Nike Air Max Penny 1 features a black and yellow color scheme inspired by Lester Middle School, where Hardaway played and once coached

Nike will continue its retro treatment of the Air Max Penny 1 this year with a black and yellow pair that’s inspired by Penny Hardaway’s middle school alma mater, a sneaker industry source tells Complex. The Lester Middle School-themed Penny 1 (style code FN6884-100) is scheduled to be released in the brand’s Fall 2023 collection for $180, per the source.

The image shown here is a mockup of the sneakers based on an internal Nike presentation on the shoe and not an actual photo of the finished product.

In addition to playing there, Hardaway coached at Lester Middle in the 2010s. While this upcoming retro draws inspiration from the school’s colors, it will not be an actual collaboration with the school.

In response to a request for comment, a Nike spokesperson said that the shoe will just be referred to as an Air Max Penny. The sneaker will not officially be called the “Lester” Air Max Penny 1.

The Penny 1 originally released in 1995 as Hardaway’s first signature shoe with Nike. The model was designed by Eric Avar, a longtime Nike footwear designer who later worked on Kobe Bryant’s signature line of Nike basketball sneakers. The Penny 1 first returned as a retro in 2000. 

The upcoming black and yellow Penny 1 was at one point slated to arrive in August, but it could release later. Many sneaker release dates have shifted before their launch in recent years on account of global supply chain issues.

The Lester Middle School-inspired Penny 1 will be available in sizes 6 to 15.

UPDATE (05/19): Confirming our initial report and the associated mock-up, official images of the forthcoming (and unofficially nicknamed) “Lester Middle School” Nike Air Max Penny 1 have surfaced via Nike. As of now, the shoe is expected to release in the coming months, but an official date has not yet been announced.

NEW R. KELLY SEX TAPE LEAKED AND THE PHOTO’S ARE GRAPHIC

R. Kelly is locked up thanks to the release of a new sex tape which shows him years ago having sex with another 14 year old girl. The tape is very graphic and you without a doubt can see it is R. Kelly performing sexual acts on the girl. Defense lawyer Michael Avenatti spoke about the investigation. Avenatti is representing six people in the investigation, including two alleged victims, two parents, and two “whistleblowers.” Avenatti addressed the tape, explaining, “The tape was shot in the late ‘90s, approximately 1999, it depicts two separate scenes shot on two separate days within Mr. Kelly’s residence at the time. The audio on the tape, you can clearly listen to it — it is clear — the video is far superior to the video that was used in connection to the 2008 trial. It is an entirely different video.” He added, “It is also clear from other things that are depicted on the video that this is in no way role-playing during some sexual act,” he said. “It is clear that this young l...

CHICAGO (FOX 32 NEWS)  - A  violent weekend  capped off Chicago's bloodiest week of the year. From April 30 through May 6, 10 people were killed and 73 others were wounded in gun violence across Chicago. This latest outbreak of violence underscores how gunmen are literally getting away with crimes up to and including murder. Overwhelmed police detectives have 155 currently active investigations of 2018 homicides, while "solving" or "clearing" 27 cases, barely 17 percent.  The clearance rate has dropped steadily in recent years, leaving thousands of murders in the last decade unsolved and thousands of killers still on the street. Chicago Police used to solve more than 60 percent of murders, back in the 1990s. New York City cops still do. But the number of CPD detectives has been cut since then.  As Mayor Rahm Emanuel prepares to run for re-election, he'll swear in 100 new detectives later this month a...
