What You Need to Know: Following a release through Stüssy last week, the “Rattan/Limestone” colorway of the streetwear label’s Air Penny 2 collaboration is getting a wider launch via Nike SNKRS.

Branding comes in the form of a blue Stüssy logo on the lateral side panels and a remixed Penny logo stamped on the outsole. Anyone in the market for a new pair of Air Penny 2s and doesn’t mind the lack of Stüssy branding can also look forward to “Rosewood” and “Football Grey” inline colorways dropping on Feb. 17.
