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, theΒ boysβΒ Nike LittleΒ PositeΒ One is modeled after Hardawayβs original silhouette with an instantly recognizable futuristic design and Pennyβs β1-Centβ logo on the tongue and heel. With a grippy outsole and comfortable inner bootie design that hugs the foot,Β itβsΒ a great shoe for running around on the playground or around town.
The shoeβs foam shell broke the mold in 1997 with its OG royal blue colorway. When the leagueΒ wouldnβtΒ let Hardaway don the dark blue shoes because they didnβt match the teamβs black uniforms, Hardaway colored in the shoe with a black marker and balled out anyway. Today, theΒ NikeΒ FoampositeΒ and kidsβ Nike LittleΒ PositeΒ One use the shoeβs hard shell as a canvas for some of the hottest colorways around, perfect for every wardrobe.
