Porch pirate swipes ‘one of a kind’ sneakers from former NBA All-Star Penny Hardaway’s home

A porch pirate swiped packages from former NBA All-Star Penny Hardaway’s Memphis home — including 26 pairs of exclusive, “one of a kind” sneakers.

The Memphis Police Department responded to a report of a theft at Hardaway’s $4.25 million mansion on Aug. 8, according to WREG.

Security camera footage showed the tattooed thief, wearing a black wife-beater and sunglasses, pushing a shopping cart down the street nearby with boxes piled over his head.

An angry Hardaway said the brazen thief made off with some pretty lucrative loot.

Among the packages were “one-of-a-kind” foamposite sneakers and a “family and friend exclusive” that cannot be bought in stores by the general public, the athlete told WREG.

In all, 26 pairs were snatched from the University of Memphis basketball coach’s porch.

Hardaway provided the outlet a picture of one of the pairs of blue and white Nike shoes — matching the color scheme of his school’s basketball team.

No arrests have been made and the theft remains under investigation, cops said.

The Post has reached out to the Memphis Police Department for additional information.
