Also, known as the Memphis Express, here is the Nike Zoom LWP Rookie Matte Red. A follow up of the Nike Zoom Rookie LWP Memphis Blue, Penny Hardaway wore this sneaker during the 17th Annual Tournament of the Stars Basketball Classic. His team was called the Memphis Express, hence the sneaker's nickname. Like most Nike Zoom Rookie LWPs, this edition has a solid color upper with an icy sole. However, unlike the other colorways, the sneaker overall has a matte style as opposed to a glossy appearance. The release date hasn't been confirmed yet so stay tuned. As always, we got 'chu. Sneaker Files gives a detailed review on these too, so check out the video below.
