Building on the momentum from successful collaborations with Stussy and Social Status, the Nike Air Penny 2 re-issue is poised to enter its journey's "General Release" phase. Though several variations have garnered attention, the Air Penny 2 has faced a lukewarm reception at retail, with many pairs languishing on shelves. Perhaps the revered "Panda" aesthetic can salvage something, with the silhouette recently showcasing the two-toned contrasting colorway.
Despite the market's reception, these sneakers certainly hold their own in terms of design and aesthetics. They even boast the subtle color fades observed on the Dunk High and Air More Uptempo, demonstrating the attention to detail given to this design. A basketball-inspired logo on the insole connects this SKU to a seasonal hoops-themed collection.
A confirmed release date for the Air Penny 2 "Panda" is now confirmed for August 1st, 2023, with Nike.com retailing pairs for $200.
