.Guy. Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I remember when I was like 10 or 11 my mom bought these awesome Nike Air Penny II's. I loved them. I used to OWN in my SYC league with them. I miss them oh so much. I wondered over to eBay to see if I could get them. I found a couple of auctions on and I bid up to $200 for the honor of rocking them again but damn it was not meant to be, the bid is currently $355! No Pennys for me...and damn whatever ever happend to Penny Hardaway. He was such a beast. Man injuries will get you. Heres a pic of the shoes: What are your favorite old school kicks? Try to post a picture so we can make fun of your fugly taste :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Gotta be the pumps man, they had a psychological effect when you gave em each around 500 pumps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosher Ham Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 My brother sold a used pair about 2 years ago for about 225 or so. But it was this the pair : Now they are selling new for around 280 according to the site, I got the pic from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosher Ham Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Gotta be the pumps man, they had a psychological effect when you gave em each around 500 pumps. My GF bought me a pair of those when they first came out. At the time they were about $150. I was truly surprised. Except mine looked like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Harris Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 penny hardaway is old school....damn, am i getting old. :doh: penny hardaway was a BEAST. he was my favorite player. i have so many rookie cards of him...too bad he was befallen by injuries and shaq's ego. (no, i'm not a shaq hater....just wished he wouldn't have left penny, those two could have been dynamic for years). as far as old skool shoes....buster browns and roos come to mind. i'll always remember when the reebok classics were all the rage.

But it was this the pair : Now they are selling new for around 280 according to the site, I got the pic from. Wow, that's random. My brother was obsessed with those Foamposites except they were white. He bought them on eBay for like $200. Those are some sweet shoes but they dont hold a candle to the Pennys! Gotta be the pumps man, they had a psychological effect when you gave em each around 500 pumps. :laugh: They seriously did. When I first wore shoes with pumps, I used to get mad, I thought they would make me jump like I was on a trampoline! :mad: They never did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosher Ham Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Those Foamposites are Hardaways. My favorite is the Jordan 5. I swear I had that shoe in 15 colors. The Black is still my favorite overall though. At the time only NB and serious running shoes had any type of reflective stuff on them. The look and feel of those shoes was great.

elkabong82 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 the pumps were huge!!! Same with the air jordans. I remember airwalks were pretty big when they first came out also, though they aren't sports shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rictus58 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I never had the Reebok pumps. I did however have the Nike pumps. I think I was the only one I knew who ever owned a pair. they really sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I loved the old converse I used to have.... Not sure if you can still get them or not... I'll agree with that! While they were like lugging around winter mocasins, those puppies were durable enough for you to walk on fire and put the same pair on the next day. Ankle pains to the moon, but you could walk through some tough brush in those puppies. Cheers to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowghost Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 You mean these? Those are the only shoes that were bought for me. I had the choice of white or black high tops. I had bad ankles, so I could not wear low tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
