Nick Young picked Penny Hardaway alongside Michael Jordan
In an interview, Nick Young was asked about the most influential figure in sneaker culture, and he named Penny Hardaway.
Back in the day, I think it was always Jordan and Penny Hardaway. But now, I think Kanye [West] has it. No matter what he does, there are lines out the door for him.
Penny Hardaway’s influence on the sneaker culture is widely recognized. The former NBA player released his first signature shoes with Nike in the year 1995 which goes by the name “Penny 1”. The four-time NBA All-Star Penny was one of the biggest NBA stars back in 1990. He used to lead the Orlando Magic and served some of the smoothest styles of play. His excellent skills and style of play not only earned him appreciation from fans but a deal from Nike too.
NBA’s iconic sneakers
NBA stars have made an important impact on the sneaker culture worldwide. Michael Jordan outshined and grabbed a solid place in the NBA industry.
When we talk about sneakers, Jordan’s collection is the first name that comes to our mind, which shows how influential he has been. Michael Jordan and Nike together created a different wave in the sneaker industry. Nike, along with Jordan’s brand, became two of the most popular brand worldwide. Their influence is not just limited to the NBA but goes beyond it. Jordans is now a big name in the streetwear and entertainment industry.
Kobe Bryant too released his signature shoes. The Addidas Kobe Sneakers, Nike Kobe Sneakers, and Black Mamba Pack are some of his iconic shoes. The NBA stars have a strong hold on the sneaker industry, and it doesn’t seem like going off any day.
