Two loyal and strong partners, STÜSSY and NIKE, unveil the official photos of their upcoming collaboration offering. After offering us exclusive Air Max 2013/2015 in early August, the benchmark streetwear brand and the sportswear giant present a reimagined Air Penny 2.
Originally released in 1996, this b-ball introduced by the legendary Penny Hardaway was last re-released in 2016 for its 20th anniversary.
Like the previous collaborative models, Penny Hardaway’s 2nd signature shoe sports a simple and understated look.
It consists of a black textile upper with matching overlays. The round laces, as well as the braided tongue and heel pulls are also dressed in black. A unique touch of contrast is provided by the branding details : the Swoosh on the tongue, insole and heel, and the Stüssy logo on the quarter panel. The name of the Californian label is also engraved on the tip of the outsole. The whole is based on a stately black Zoom Air sole with raised and wavy finishes.
The Stüssy x Nike Air Penny 2 « Black » will be released in the coming weeks at select retailers and online at stussy.com and nike.com for a price tag of around $200.
A « Fossil » version should also be released. Stay tuned !
