Nike has referenced its Lil' Penny campaign, wherein a miniature puppet version of Penny Hardaway is voiced by Chris Rock, with footwear before. In fact, Lil' Penny even got his own signature model in the Lil' Penny Posite—​an accolade that plenty of real life Nike athletes never received.

That puppet has another on the way in this, a Foamposite One style featuring quotes on the upper pulled directly from this old Nike poster. According to the account behind the leaked image above, this shoe will release on Dec. 2 in GS sizes only.

While the Nike Foamposite line has mostly strayed away from these graphic looks as of late, it's continued to use them on small-size exclusives like this colorway and the "Nerf" pair.
