Nike Zoom Rookie Memphis Tigers

The Boxstock Nike Zoom Rookie Memphis Tigers pays tribute to basketball star Penny Hardaway’s return to his Memphis roots.
    
This version of the Nike Zoom Rookie showcases a white mesh base surrounding the laces and tongue. White leather overlays provide support, extending down the forefoot and separating the mesh from a Foamposite layer adorned with Photo Blue and black tiger stripes, capturing the iconic Memphis Tigers look. The Foamposite material forms both the toe and forefoot as well as the heel. Breathability is enhanced with white pods on each ankle and the lateral forefoot. Hardaway’s signature embellishes the pull tab, while his logo adorns the tongue. Beneath all of this is a semi-transparent white outsole.

What stands out most about this shoe is the durability and style provided by the Foamposite material. Released on June 1, 2019, the Nike Zoom Rookie Memphis Tigers had a retail price of $220.
