Chalk the Presto up for one of the dope sneakers that released when I was too young and too reckless to recognize the realness.

Every time I see an NBA player in person, I always got to check out what’s on their feet. You never know what crazy player exclusives they’ll have on. Around the year 2000, I saw Michael Finley at the mall and I remember he was […]

With its wavy, exaggerated midsole, the Penny II is an undeniable testament to creative design in the ‘90s. Anfernee and his little protege Lil’ Penny, caught recognition sporting the shoe in black/white/blue and white/white/blue varieties to match the pinstriped Orlando Magic uniforms.
