Nike introduces a new tonal iteration of the signature Air Max Penny 1 sneaker model with the latest Photon Dust colorway to join its roster. It retains the retro design language and spotlights a clean color palette for a minimal design language this time around.
The shoes are made from premium leather materails at the upper's base and then detailed with textural molds around the forefoot and continue onto the quarters -- all of which is done in crisp white color. It is detailed with shaggy suede overlaying accents on top in the same color to add textural contrast. Yellow details can be seen in the form of the Nike logo at the toe box to round it out.
