This year has been filled with long-awaited sneaker returns and Nike isn’t looking to put an end to that trend. The Swoosh takes a trip back to 2011 to welcome back its Zoom Rookie model. Used as an homage to signatures of Penny Hardaway’s past, the Foamposite-boasting sneaker shares a black underlay with glow in the dark details. The overall construction remains intact thanks to branding on the tongue and heel in addition to Nike’s Swoosh on the toebox.

The Nike Zoom Rookie “Glow in the Dark” is currently available at select Nike Basketball stockists such as Foot Locker for $210 USD. Take a look at some of the shots provided and let us know if you had this pair in your stash when it first dropped.

Nike Basketball followers can also take a look at the latest Kyrie 5 “Neon Blends” PE.
