Jun 29, 2020 at 15:58 comment added Tanmoy Paul My earlier question can be reformulated as follows. Does there exist an equivalent renorming on $C[0,1]$ which makes it (weakly) Hahn-Banach smooth? Probably the answer to this problem is 'No' because the dual of any weakly Hahn-Banach smooth space has RNP.
Jun 29, 2020 at 15:55 comment added Tanmoy Paul Thank you Jochen for pointing out. I was a bit confused about Hahn-Banach smoothness and smoothness. A Banach space $X$ is said to be Hahn-Banach smooth if every $x^*\in X^*$ has unique norm preserving extension to $X^{**}$. Similarly a weaker version of this property can also be defined for the norm attaining functionals. If $X^*$ is strictly convex then any subspace of $X$ is Hahn-Banach smooth BUT this property does not imply (weakly) Hahn-Banach smoothness of $X$.
