We've had a week full of Penny Hardaway and Lil' Penny features, anticipating this weekend's big release of the Lil' Penny Posite in its first three colorways (other than the limited Shooting Stars Pack). Before Lil' Penny's shoe drops tomorrow, we thought we'd take it back for a look at every classic Lil' Penny commercials—or at least all the ones available on YouTube.
From the Air Penny I to the Air Penny III, Lil' Penny was Nike's main man for promoting big Penny's signature shoes. Check out all of the hilarious commercials below, as well as some bonus spots from ESPN (co-starring Gheorghe Muresan!) and an intro to the 1996 Playoffs series between the Magic and Bulls. Enjoy!
