Man Steals Thousands’ Worth Of Shoes From Penny Hardaway

Some of the shoes included a one-of-a-kind version of Hardaway’s Nike Foamposite sneakers.

Police have arrested a man for allegedly stealing multiple pairs of shoes from Penny Hardaway’s home in Memphis. The former NBA All-Star currently coaches men’s basketball at the University Of Memphis.

According to CBS Sports, the alleged perpetrator, Ronald James, stole the shoe boxes from the Hardaway’s home on Aug. 8. A security camera caught James taking the items, many exclusive pairs, and leaving the scene with the stolen possessions in a shopping cart. The 42-year-old was seen rolling the cart down the street, overflowing with boxes filled with 26 pairs of shoes.

Hardaway told WREG that the stolen sneakers included one-of-a-kind Nike Foamposites and shoes made for family and friends. Considering the four-time NBA all-star made the style his signature sneaker, these exclusive pairs would come with a much higher price tag.

Hardaway inked a partnership with Nike while he played a 14-year stint in the NBA. However, the collaboration remains ongoing as Hardaway continues a new era of his professional career.

In February, the parties launched the “1 Cent” brand, bringing Nike apparel featuring the Tigers’ logo. The collaboration features an assortment of clothing from t-shirts to hoodies.

It remains unclear if the authorities recovered any of the coveted items allegedly stolen by Ronald James. Police have since charged James with theft of property.
