Nike Air Penny 2 Social Status Playground University Blue

The Nike Air Penny 2 Social Status Playground University Blue represents a collaboration between elite sneaker and streetwear boutique Social Status and the Penny Hardaway-inspired Nike line – Air Penny 2.

The Social Status X Nike Air Penny 2 Playground comes in a Sail/University Blue/white/black colorway, featuring a grayish-white Sail nubuck upper, with University Blue overlays in soft leather. The blue and Sail tongue features a black tongue tab and Penny Hardaway "1 Cent" branding. A black heel tab and two light blue Nike Swooshes accent the heel, while debossed Air branding accents the toe. The lateral collar features a Nike Swoosh passing through the Social Status logo. The Phylon midsole in white has an encapsulated Air unit in the forefoot and visible Air unit in the heel. All this sits atop a blue rubber outsole.

What we love most about this distinctive shoe are the 3M reflective hits throughout the upper, and the way the midsole undulates up the side panel, almost touching the eyestays. The Nike Air Penny 2 Social Status Playground University Blue was released on October 13th, 2022, for $200 retail.
