#7 – Nike 1/2 Cent Royal Blue/Black

Nike 1/2 Cent Royal Blue/Black

The 1/2 Cent is undoubtedly one of, if not the best Nike hybrid ever created. Specifically, its design inspirations are second to none. We must applaud Nike for taking pieces from every Penny Hardaway signature sneaker and incorporating them into this sneaker. Has there ever been another ‘tribute hybrid’ as good as this?

Nike 1/2 Cent Royal Blue/Black is my favorite

Damn you guys!!! I was just in the process of doing this exact feature haha. Oh well. On to the next one.
I gotta give it to the Royal Blue Foamposite One. All-time favorite sneaker.

The only questions that I have about this list are where are the royal blue foamposite pro & the Dr. Doom foams? Both of those are tough finds. I’m also surprised the the black Flightposite Is escaped mention. I’ve been looking for those since they got retroed and damned if I can’t find a 13 anywhere.
mrunderstood
The top 2 can’t be argued and after the copper colorway is released it’ll move to #3……can anybody help me find a pair of the silver foamposite max I NEED THOSE!!!!!!!

I think the 1/2 cent is the best. Any cw is a winner. I’m glad they pushed the date back on the copper foams, now I’m a cop 4sure. Also no way no how r the flightpisite 1-2 better then the 3. The 3 is the best flightposite n the plat is the best cw. 4 out of 5

I remember seeing the royal Foams when they first came out. Our coach had a hookup, and got them *early*. My jaw dropped when he walked in the gym. Still my all time favorite foams.

SkatManMackDaddy,
Those definitely came up on the list when we were brainstorming along with some non basketball posites, but it was really tough to put those on in place of any of the top 15.

great post… agree with most…

This is a great list, and I’m glad to see so many great colorways included!
However, I believe it’s ridiculous that the Eggplant Flightposites aren’t included in the top three! Sure the Gold Flights are a great pair of shoes, but in my opinion (and the opinion of MANY others), the Eggplants are the greatest Flightposites ever made.
Even if they were listed after the Eggplant Foamposites, I would have been satisfied; but they HAD to be included in the top three. And to me, the Pearl Foam Pros and the Copper Foams shouldn’t be listed as better posites than the Eggplant Flights.
However, you guys were dead on in putting the Royal Foams at number one though. Definitely a no-brainer, and a fitting end to the list.
Double paly king
where can i get these? can someone plz tell me what store and online site that has these in size 11

How are you not gonna include those light blue and white foams with the white check from a few years back. Those are def better than a lot of the 1s on this list.. imo

I think the baby blue and white foamposites pros should of made the list take those lebrons off the list and the ducans should of been ranked higher

Eggplants foamposites or the total air foamposite max are number one…
