Nike introduces its Air Penny 3 sneaker model in a new Black Royal colorway option for the colder seasons of the year. The silhouette follows the recent 'Eggplant' colorway that was unveiled last week, offering a much darker iteration this time around.
The upper is predominantly black with leather construction and then detailed with some blue details for a slight touch of tonal contrast. The top of the sneaker has two ripstop pull tabs that ease wearers into the sneaker with the sock liner made from neoprene materials. The upper is blended with additional materials such as suede and rubber to give it some texture. Branding details arrive in the form of the Swoosh in black by the rear quarter to round it out.
