The Nike Air Max Penny 1 is Coming "Home"
Published:July 28, 2022
There’s no place like home – there’s no colorway like it either. The Nike Air Max Penny 1 has seen many retro releases since its initial launch in 1995, but never in its classic “Home” colorway. That’s about to change this August.
The model is gearing up to have a strong showing in 2022, with the recent release of Social Status’ Air Max Penny 1 “Recess” collaboration turning younger collectors onto the model, and a retro of the classic “Orlando” colorway coming down the pipeline. So, it’s only right that Nike should pull this version out of the vault too.
This “Home” take mimics the Orlando Magic’s home jerseys from the ‘90s. It features pristine white leather uppers as well as white foam midsoles that make their way up the lateral and medial side panels. Lateral-side jewel Swoosh overlays are done in “Varsity Royal,” which matches the tongue’s Swoosh embroidery, pull-tab accents, and sockliners.
You’ll find Penny’s signature “1-cent” logo embroidered at the heel, which sits just above the model’s bulbous, visible Max Air unit. The colorway is capped off with rubber outsole units done in white.
