20 years after Penny Hardaway laced up the special edition "Olympic" colorway of the Nike Zoom Flight '96, Nike has plans to re-release the iconic sneakers. 

Unlike some of the new school "Olympic" basketball sneakers, Penny's Zoom Flight '96 is more toned down with a predominately white upper accompanied by navy blue accents and his Team USA #6 stitched onto the heel in gold.

The 20th anniversary sneakers will reportedly hit retailers on July 7th and they'll surely be a hit with all of the OG sneakerheads who remember Penny and co. taking home the gold at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. 

Hell, even the younger sneaker collectors who don't remember Penny's Zoom Flight '96 should be feeling the clean look of these "Olympic" kicks.
