Nike celebrates SLAM Magazine’s 30th anniversary and Penny Hardaway’s basketball legacy with an exclusive Air Foamposite One for Friends and Family. This special release blends history, art, and basketball culture in a bold design honoring Hardaway’s lasting influence.
The most striking feature of this Air Foamposite One is Eric Avar’s original design sketch, brought to life on the Foamposite upper for the first time. The swirling blue and white gradient on the shell reflects Penny’s unique style, combining athletic performance with artistic expression.
Exclusive branding details enhance the shoe’s commemorative nature. SLAM logos appear on the tongue and heel, celebrating the magazine’s 30-year milestone. Three vertical stars on the heel pull tab pay homage to SLAM’s iconic covers and Hardaway’s memorable feature. Custom insoles, inspired by words from SLAM writer Scoop Jackson’s legendary Issue #30, add a personal touch.
While this SLAM x Nike Air Foamposite One “30th Anniversary” perfectly captures Penny Hardaway’s enduring legacy and SLAM’s influence on basketball media, it remains highly exclusive, limited to Friends and Family only.
For sneakerheads and basketball fans alike, it’s a powerful reminder of how storytelling and design merge in sneaker culture.
