I want everyone's opinion from a shoe collector's point of view, not from a Jordan point of view.
I am a die hard jordan collector, but i just want to know what you guys think about what I am about to say:

I know Penny only had 4 legitimate shoes. Jordan has 23. But do you think the Penny legacy would've have been remembered
more if Penny wasnt injury prone so much? I mean come on people, the Penny's were very underrated in my view. What if
the Penny Line would've come out with 23 pairs of Penny's instead of 4. Do you think it would've gave the Jordan Brand a run for its money?
From the first 4 pairs of Pennys that were made, that question lies up in the air. To me all the Pennys made are a very well thought out, creative shoe.
I remember when I was in 9th grade and Jordans and Pennys came out the same day (sorry I cant remember which ones, but if my mind serves me right
they were the 11s and the Penny 1s), the majority of my basketball teammates got the Pennys. Why? Im not sure, this is why I am posting this thread.
I have so much respect for Jordan and the shoes he has came out with for 2 decades. But if anyone would've gave him a run I think it would've been
Penny Hardaway, only if he stayed healthy and played to his potential so more Penny shoes wouldve came out. I don't think he would've topped Jordan,
thats why I said, "Give him a run for his money." I want to know if this forum is going to give me hell for posting another person's shoe in theforum, or are
we going to have some well thought out responses to my post. I know im going to get negative posts but I want to know. Foamposites or Space Jams,
Penny 2s or Olympic 7s? I actually had to get my mind out of the gutter because at one time i wouldnt even look at a shoe if it wasnt Jordan. But looking
at all of the Pennys I own and seeing the design and quality, hey Nike had a good thing going with the Penny shoes. Now Jordan is still going strong years
after his retirement so that obviously shows something, but i think its more to it than that. So What If people?????? Thanks in advance.

Design-wise,its penny over Jordan all day...like until the XI Penny had the designs on lock.
 
Idk, IMO no shoe line is *$%!** with Jordan. Too many gorgeous shoes. Only Pennies i really like are Foamposites, Penny 1s, Penny 2s are straight, and 1/2Cents. So case and point, Jordan > Penny.
 
No disrespect to Jordan brand, I love J's and def own more pairs than any other brand. I do think Penny could have competed at some level. I thikn the keywould have been what happened in the later years. Once you get to a certain point with Jordans past the 13's 14's I def do not thikn they are as nice.If Penny was releasing fire at this point, he would made up a lot of the big lead Jordan had gained. No disrespect to the Jordans 14 and up they just are notnearly as hot and classic as the ones that came out before. The problem with this question is the what if aspect. Penny does not come close, but coulda made arun in the later years if he stayed healthy.
 
to me penny has it because of that blue they used. but i like them all but dont have any cause im always buying jordan and other nikes.
 
Penny 1-3 hot hot hot...4's were garbage but who knows what couldve happened Penny had it all to bad he got hurt.....now the next question will LBJ be ableto surpass the MJ legacy with his shoes so far the 1-6 have been nice,(besides the 1001 diff cw's) but as for the team cw's which are my favs,they arereally good shoes,great design little on the heavy side but all in all good.

and That's MISTER RIVERA 2 you

whoops, you already addressed me as such.

Now what are we talking about?
 
ohhhhhh man, this one is gonna be hilarious....

anyway, to answer the question... if penny didn't get hurt, and had a full and successful career, then yes his shoes would have been a HUGE hit (i.e -lebrons) but to compare them with the Jordan line is too hard to do (like comparing biggie and pac... its all subjective). But to answer your examplequestion... in my opinion, spacejams destroy foams but on the other hand I prefer the penny 2 over the olympic 7.

side note - lots of people on here will make sarcastic comments (flame) and more often supportive comments. But when you post a picture of yourself like that,it just opens the floodgates for immature NT members to have a field day. (but 90% of the time its pretty much hilarious!)

Hey Niketalk members, just hear me out first, and by the way Niketalk ladies, Im single, just kidding lol.
I want everyone's opinion from a shoe collector's point of view, not from a Jordan point of view.
I am a die hard jordan collector, but i just want to know what you guys think about what I am about to say.

I posted a picture of myself with the Carmello 2's on my left shoulder, Penny 1s on my right shoulder. I know
Penny only had 4 legitimate shoes. Jordan has 23. But do you think the Penny legacy would've have been remembered
more if Penny wasnt injury prone so much? I mean come on people, the Penny's were very underrated in my view. What if

To answer the question though, Penny has some nice shoes and without injuries I do think he would of gave Jordan's shoe line a run, but Jordan is just toomuch especially the I-XIII's.
