I'm not a big fan of hybrids but these are sick.
BP's > 1/2 cents.
That's just the thing Mr. Jer. You are looking at this from a FOAMPOSITE point of viewwhen these are a hybrid of the ENTIRE Air Penny line of shoes.. Correct me if I'm wrong but only two of Penny's line of shoes had anything foampositerelated... the Foamposite 1's and some Foam influence on the III's. So with that being said the Penny 1/2 Cents are an awesome combination of all ofthe Air Penny's released. So no Nike did not let the Posite fand down...because these were not a full no tribute to Foamposites, but to the Air Penny linewhich so happened to have 2 shoes that were posite related and they represented them quite well.Originally Posted by jer23
hey BP,
the reason I initially made the post was because i think your penny hybrid is Amazing AND so that someone at nike would see your renderings (if by some small chance they haven't already) and look at their final version of the 1/2 cents and say 'we really let all the die hard posite fans down'
As a designer myself (chairs, not shoes) I've always thought the foamposite one was a shoe that nike could never top in terms of overall concept and execution. when i heard they were going to be releasing a penny hybrid i thought maybe, just maybe this could be a shoe that comes close, but only if they don't concern themselves with giving equal weight to all of the shoes the 1/2 cents are drawing from just for the sake of saying 'there's 1/4 this and a 1/4 that' and so on. unfortunately, this is exactly what nike did and the 1/2 cent looks amazingly awkward and really quite ridiculous from the midpoint up where it looks like they had no idea how to transition from foamposite to penny II with a touch of III.
in short, the 1/2 cents look like a $100 shoe; yours look like a $200 shoe.
next, i'd like to see an original posite concept : )

I should also note that i think the foamdomes were horribly executed...could have been great
If these were OFFICIALLY released by NIKE i would cop, they hot son!Originally Posted by DIDDYDADAGGER
I'm glad y'all are showing love to a fellow NTer. But who would cop his version also aside from just liking it??
