Being a little man in a big mans world is hard for someone to do but not Lil Penny.
The counterpart to Penny Hardaway is going to be able to say “you couldn’t walk a mile in my shoes” this saturday, well actually we really can’t anyway. But with him Nike dropping three pairs of the Nike Lil Penny Posite in one day is a statement.
The folks over at Foot Locker has provided release details for two of the color ways that are dropping and by the looks since they aren’t releasing the third then its safe to say these are the more limited of the trio.
Take a look below and let us know if these will be a DEF Cop or DEF Not.
You can’t stop him. You won’t stop him. The ½ man behind the man, Lil Penny, is back with two new designs of his signature model, the Lil Penny Posite.
Aesthetically, the design builds upon blocks of Penny’s past, notably elements of the Air Zoom Rookie and the Nike Air Up, as a symbolic follow up to the Nike Air ½ Cent. A decoupled Posite upper retains iconic styling while affording more flexibility, a change of pace from Posites of the past.
Featuring a full-length Nike Lunar midsole and Zoom cushioning in the heel, the Lil Penny Posite also employs the latest cushioning technologies, from the bottom up. Molded wings on the shoe’s quarter add a modern sensibility while vintage Flight and 1 Cent insignia keep the design true to its lineage. The season may be winding down, but as the saying goes, basketball never stops. Catch Lil Penny on a block near you this summer — and this time, he’ll have his own sneaker rotation to choose from.
The Nike Lil Penny Posite drops in two new colors this Saturday, June 7th for $180 each. Check the Launch Locator to see which stores will have these releases.
More than the game, fame, and acclaim, Lil Penny wanted one thing: Love. The ½ Cent-ed legend was a baller by association but a lover from the beginning. Touches of Hyper Pink pay homage to LP’s love-first-ask-questions-later nature while a predominantly Wolf Grey upper keeps the design classically cool.

Though his love for a certain model-esque beauty is no secret, Lil Penny never strayed away from the nightlife. As such, LP had to get fresh with a pair designed specifically for those late nights that turn into early mornings. Featuring a black reflective upper and a glow-in-the-dark outsole, being seen in any light is the mission. And it’s safe to say: Mission accomplished.
