Today, the "20 Designs That Changed The Game" series continues with the Nike Air Penny. In order to supplement Penny Hardaway's versatility, Nike had to have the best of both worlds — speed and strength. Tensile Air was created to help with speed, which today is better known as Zoom Air. To support his strength, the shoe was fitted with a Max Air bag in the heel for impact protection. Top it all off with a timeless design and a star was born. Nike didn't create the monster, Penny did. [via Nike, Inc.]
