Nike Air Penny 2 Wheat Gold

The Swoosh has been giving the Air Penny 2 love with collaborations with brands such as Stüssy drawing in a fresh set of eyes for the 90s cult classic. The “Wheat Gold” colourway, employs earthy tones that subdue the aggressive features of a silhouette, toning down the basketball elements of the Penny 2 and giving these a heavier lifestyle element. Rumoured for a 2023 release, fans of the Air Penny 2 will be rubbing their hands in anticipation for this pair that is wardrobe ready.

The cream hues draped on the midsole and mudguard create a softer midsection which is easy on the eye, reigning in the functional aspects of the midsole. The orange piping separates the upper in half, complementing the two different tones, establishing a smooth fade between the wheat and gold. A black outsole makes its way onto the front toe and carbon fibre foot shank, once again toning down the basketball element which made these so popular in the 90s. The rope laces and thick pull tabs remain present but like the outsole, is muted thanks to the use of black. Inside, you can find Nike’s Basketball logo from the 90s, a soft spot for sneakerheads who hold that era near and dear to their heart. The Penny logo on the tongue appears in orange and black, embracing the motif that has given this pair its lifestyle edge.

This “Wheat Gold” colourway is a great entry point to the Nike Air Penny 2, so if you are considering picking up this cult classic, hesitate no more! Find out where to grab your pair by keeping it locked into The Sole Supplier.
