The Nike Zoom Rookie ‘Black’ sneaker made its debut in late 2018, marking a seven-year gap since the initial release of this silhouette. While predominantly black, the colorway is subtly embellished with a white Nike swoosh on the vamp and one cent logo on the tongue, accompanied by a University Red 'Flight' script on the back pull tab. These high tops exhibit a sleek and stylish appearance, drawing inspiration from various Penny Hardaway shoes that he sported throughout his illustrious career, such as the Air Flight One and Air Go LWP. Additionally, Nike's cutting-edge Foamposite technology is incorporated into the design, further enhancing the overall aesthetic and performance of the shoe.
