The Nike Zoom Rookie University Red Black is a basketball-inspired sneaker known for its futuristic design and distinctive features, combining design elements from various classic Nike models. The shoes have a black and red color scheme with red covering the majority of the upper and the outsole while black covers the sides and collar lining. The upper is made using a mix of nubuck and foamposite-like material and features decorative grooves and large perforations which add visual interest to the shoe. It also has a pod system on the outsole, which includes Zoom Air units for responsive cushioning and impact protection. One thing we love about the Nike Zoom Rookie University Red Black is the Dynamic Fit system which utilizes integrated cables to provide a secure and adaptive fit around the midfoot. The shoes were initially released at the retail price of $210 on the 4th of January, 2019. The Nike Zoom Rookie ‘University Red’ showcases a two-tone colorway on Penny Hardaway’s post-retirement signature shoe. The mid-top’s mesh tongue and synthetic leather paneling are rendered in University Red, while the molded overlays are finished in contrasting black. Underfoot, a red rubber outsole is supported by a midfoot shank that’s treated to a faux carbon fiber effect.
