Nike has continued to provide Social Status the opportunity to utilize its great storytelling abilities with the release of several sneakers throughout 2022. Focusing especially on the Air Max Penny 1 and 2, the duo has brought new life to the old school silhouette. Now, following the first Air Max Penny 2 “Playground” release, the “White/Blue” colorway is on its way.

Officially revealed in March, these Social Status-designed Air Max Penny 2 looks have been much anticipated. Looking closer at the “White/Blue” color scheme, premium leather detailing outfits the upper alongside embroidered details including a collaborative Social Status x Nike special project logo. White sculpted foam also appears, completing the look.

After a brief delay, the Social Status x Nike Air Max Penny 2 “Playground” in “White/Blue” is set to be available at a price of $200 USD via local raffles at Whitaker Group stores, an online raffle via the Social Status website and a TWG Discord drawing, all of which have opened today. Beyond this, an online release via Social Status is scheduled for November 4 with a Nike release expected to follow shortly after. Take a closer look at the pair above and peep the official release details below.
