For some reason I think the stigma on the Lil Penny is the fact it's called the Lil Penny, almost as if it's less than a signature shoe. Had the shoe been titled Penny 6 I feel like opinions might have been a tad bit different, I know mine would be...

HOH purchases probably have NO RETURN stamped on the receipt. That's what my pair has.

That sucks!! Not once have I had that stamped on any purchase in the Houston. EVER. In fact, not one shoe store in the South (FTL, Champs, FA, FNL). I've lived in FL, all along the Gulf Coast all the way to Houston. This may be a YMMV deal. I'm sure someone in this area could provided contrary comments to mine, too, But just in a principle, a no return policy alone would keep me from purchasing items. One of the main reasons I don't buy from Kith other than some shoes from time-to-time, and that's because they're typical the sole provider. 

That said, I'm curious if that's an issue in the DMV ... an exorbitant amount of returns from resellers just before their 30 days are up??

Honestly, it's been a hoh thing since I remember but it's probably a YMMV thing for sure. Doesn't bother me tho because I would never return a $500 purchase. Managers don't like that one bit and they take mental notes when you do returns for large amounts.

Edit: checked my receipt. Says final sale lol

I think it's because they're not worth $250 to most people. If the pack was $400 vice $500, people would be using LPs. Realistically, most people aren't dropping $250 on some LPs, and Nike knows it. Make them $150 and I'm sure it will have it's fair share of consumers. All in all, people want a Band-Aid for that $500 butt pumping Nike gave us and the way to make up for it is to get rid of the deadweight lol

A ton of these were left at NikeChi this afternoon. After seeing them in person I honestly thought the Lil' Penny was doper than the Shooting Stars. Pack was still pretty wack in my opinion so I passed. 
 
Wonder if Nike is doing analytical research on what the Lil Penny does on the Aftermarket to decide retail price. Almost as to let the consumer figure out the best price to avoid pure clearance...lol

All of this. Glad nike sent those gift cards and @The7onius was kind enough to bless me with a 15% off code he got. Made the pain feel less :lol:

That's why you take them to the HoH /FTL you can't stand. I'd waste extra gas and time just to return them to the Galleria HoH haha. They're slime in my opinion.
 
If I owned a lambo....

I'd drive with these kicks!

They look aerodynamic.....

Props man, I really liked penny's from the get-go and in person I was sold on them even more. Didn't luck out on them unfortunately but knew some people who got the pack and both shoes are straight flame, especially to a longtime Magic fan

my opinion is this about the pack.. They should have did the rookie with shooting stars colors.. hell the 1/2 cent in shooting stars.. or better yet a foamposite pro same colors but white check.. woulda been worth 500 all day.. they had many other shoes they could have packed in..lol
 
no offense, but it really grinds my gears when people take on feet pics with shorts. i'm sure anyone with a functioning brain can imagine a shoe with a bare leg coming out of it.
