"the storm is over"?

 

[renegadewon]

The quote on the heel tabs look out of place, like stitched on afterthoughts.

 

[ab doom]

Those quotes are Penny's tattoos! Geez!

 

[outlaw2j]

i know the heavens cent was his tattoo, but it just looks lame and out of place on the shoe... maybe i will just cut the heel tabs off

 

[gentry187]

Pulltabs look tacky. Could of done without that "storm-heaven cent" nonsense.

 

[bishop7862]

the dolphins pair look real clean, if its not too much fuss i'll try to pick em up...

That's the wackest part of them IMO. They should have put it in the insole.

not a fan of the protruding forefoot pods either.

agreed man.  first leaked images of these that came out last year had me sold on them.  orlando color all the way for me and the miami as a maybe depending on my funds at the time. 

Don't be fooled.. It's the typical Niketalk "rebels" who say "not feeling them"and nitpic at every little thing.. Then buy at least three colorways.. It never fails.. I think this shoe was executed perfectly.. I love them and I will cop multiple pairs.. Even if they are a GR.. Penny's is what made me start copping shoes in 96 (4th Grade, I've always had Jordans thanks to Mom, but I never knew the hype behind shoes until Penny's).. I'm ecstatic that theyre picking up the line.

After seeing the recent pics, I still don't want them.

Buying at full price for $150, and for $49 on sale or at outlets are two totally different things.

I can't wait! the new pics clinched it for me.

 

[thegoldenchild]

they're starting to grow on me.. i like the suns colorway

 

[panaricanretro]

Damn, those are nicer than I thought they would be. The colorways really make or break this shoe, at least for me. I really like the Suns and Miami colorways but the Orlando colorway does absolutely nothing for me. Maybe it's becaus they're just so much like the Penny 2, which is a better looking shoe, IMO. These might get a little of my money after all.
