Stussy Air Penny 2: $200 Release, Hemp Specs & Resale Value
The Stussy Air Penny 2 is a collaborative hemp basketball retro released on December 16, 2022, for $200 retail. Designed by the Laguna Beach streetwear label and Nike, the capsule brings back the 90s icon to our rotation. It launched in Triple Black (DQ5674-001) and Black/Green Flash (DX6934-001). Below we cover the 2000 partnership roots, 1996 Lil Penny commercials, and resale math.
- Release dates and MSRP: Dropped December 16, 2022, at Chapter Stores and December 17, 2022, in Asia before a December 20, 2022 SNKRS launch at $200 retail.
- Two hemp colorways: Released in monochromatic Black hemp canvas (DQ5674-001) and Black/Green Flash suede (DX6934-001).
- 2000 partnership lineage: Follows the 2000 Air Huarache LE, 2001 Dunk High, and 2005 Cherry SB Dunk ($3,000 resale average).
- 1996 hardwood tech: Pairs a forefoot Zoom Air unit with a 270-degree Max Air heel bag and sculpted carbon-style midfoot shank.
How Did the Laguna Beach Label and Nike Build Their 2000s Partnership?
The streetwear collaboration began in 2000 when London chapter head Michael Kopelman co-designed two Air Huarache LE colorways.
One year later in 2001, the two brands launched their first globally badged Dunk High Plus B capsule. That 2000 and 2001 foundation established the blueprint for boutique collaborations across sneaker industry history. Rather than slapping a giant logo onto a general release, the California surf-and-skate brand reworked heritage athletic silhouettes. Designers prioritized organic hemp and textured leather over flashy neon graphics.
In July 2005, the partnership produced its highest-valued grail. The Neapolitan ice cream-inspired Cherry Dunk Low Pro SB on GOAT trades near $3,000 in deadstock condition. Over the next two decades, the collaborators revived archival runners and basketball shoes like the Spiridon Cage 2.
Why Were Anfernee Hardaway and Lil Penny 1996 Basketball Icons?
Orlando Magic guard Anfernee Hardaway signed with Nike after the 1993 NBA Draft and debuted his second signature shoe in 1996.
Eric Avar designed the original silhouette for the 1996-1997 NBA season. It paired quick point-guard responsiveness with heavy-duty impact protection. A low-profile Zoom Air unit sat under the forefoot. Meanwhile, a visible 270-degree Max Air unit cushioned the heel inside a wavy phylon midsole wrap.
Marketing executives paired the 1996 sneaker with Wieden+Kennedy’s famous Lil Penny puppet commercials voiced by Chris Rock. The miniature alter-ego starred in Super Bowl spots alongside supermodel Tyra Banks. That original ad campaign retired in 1997 after four seasons. For the December 2022 collaboration, the streetwear brand revived the puppet in a coastal surf campaign.

How Do the Black Hemp and Green Flash Colorways Differ in Materials?
Style code DQ5674-001 uses a monochromatic black hemp canvas upper, while DX6934-001 contrasts a Green Flash cage against black suede.
On the Triple Black (DQ5674-001) release, coarse black hemp canvas replaces the 1996 synthetic leather panels. Ribbed textile piping traces the signature ankle collar waves, and a matte black sculpted midsole wraps up the lateral midfoot. Subtle cursive brand script replaces the traditional 1 Cent orb on the lateral midfoot pod.
The Black/Green Flash (DX6934-001) edition injects bright 1990s color blocking into the silhouette. Vibrant Kelly-green foam covers the wavy midsole bridge and heel Air window beneath a black nubuck upper. Underfoot, both colorways feature a translucent blue-tinted icy outsole. Each sole houses a large white double-S logo graphic across the tread.
When Did DQ5674-001 Release and How Does the 1996 Last Fit?
The capsule launched on December 16, 2022, in North America and Europe and December 17, 2022, in Asia at $200 retail.
Chapter Stores in Los Angeles, New York, London, and Amsterdam released both colorways first on December 16, 2022. Tokyo and Seoul chapters followed on December 17, 2022, ahead of a global Nike SNKRS allocation on December 20, 2022. Both adult men’s editions carried a flat $200 MSRP.
Order your true US men’s size for a snug basketball lock, or go up 0.5 size if you have wide feet.
The 1996 tooling utilizes a thick inner neoprene sleeve, padded ankle pillows, and rigid lateral foam wings. As a result, the interior feels noticeably snugger than a standard Air Force 1. Front and rear nylon pull loops help wearers slide their foot into the collar cleanly.
