Product Information

Full details

The Nike Air Penny 2 QS Atlantic Blue 2023 is designed for adult males seeking a stylish and comfortable sneaker that pays homage to basketball history. Its key benefit is the iconic design and premium materials that offer both aesthetic appeal and durable wear. A potential caveat is that this is a re-release, and availability might be limited. This sneaker features a distinctive blend of white leather and Atlantic Blue foam, the classic '1 cent' logo, and wavy upper detailing, recapturing the essence of the 1996 original.

FAQs

What year was the original Nike Air Penny 2 released?

The original Nike Air Penny 2 was released in 1996.

What does 'QS' stand for in the product name?

QS typically stands for 'Quickstrike', indicating a limited release or special edition of a sneaker.

Is this sneaker suitable for playing basketball?

While inspired by a basketball shoe, the 2023 QS re-release is primarily intended for casual wear and lifestyle use. It may not provide the necessary support or performance features for modern competitive basketball.

How do I clean the Atlantic Blue foam parts?

Use a soft, damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Gently wipe the foam and then clean with a fresh damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers.

What is the main difference between this re-release and the original?

This 2023 re-release aims to replicate the original design faithfully in terms of colorway, materials, and iconic details like the '1 cent' logo. Minor variations in manufacturing processes or material sourcing may occur.

What size foot is this guide for?

This specific product listing is for a UK size 9 for adult males. Other sizes are available in the product line.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is primarily constructed from premium leather.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Consult Nike's official sizing chart for accurate measurements and compare with your foot size. If still uncomfortable, consider if a different size is needed.

Creasing on leather upper

Natural creasing will occur with wear. To minimize excessive creasing, avoid bending the shoe sharply and consider using shoe trees when not in use. For minor creases, a leather conditioner can help.

Discoloration of white leather

Clean the white leather promptly after any contact with dirt or colored materials. Use a dedicated leather cleaner for white leather or a mild soap and water solution. Store away from colored items.

Foam midsole appears scuffed

The sculpted foam can be gently cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the material. For deep scuffs, professional cleaning might be an option, but cosmetic wear is expected with use.
