It's a pretty dated shoe to ball in. Not bad, but not the best by any means. To me, it's between a mid and low. I'd consider it a "heavy" shoe and true-to-size despite what others have said. I tried a 9.5 and it was a little too snug. I ended up sticking with my typical 10 and it fits fine to me...

I don't feel explosive in these shoes at all. The cushion is too thick and feel like playing on rubber boot. I don't see any nba player wearing these beside Gilbert and one time by Marcus Thornton . I guess they're not good ball shoes . These shoes must be killing Penny feet back then . I think he got hurt in the 2 and then blow out his knee in the 3. Look like Eric Avar was just a rookie designer back then cuz his shoes were bricks

wow at blaming the shoes instead of knowing that he was one of the 1st to undergo microfracture surgery and there was no set method of rehab.
penny 1s were comfy but had bad lockdown. im not 100% but i think i read that his PEs had different lacing to address that issue.
Penny 2s are comfy and so are Penny 3s.

How do these look with pants? Or do they not really go with jeans/khakis?

I've balled in them a few times...they're not bad, but not great. I know they fit some people kinda odd and may cause problems in that way, but they fit me pretty good and I didn't have any issues with pinky toes or any of that. I actually found that the cushioning was better than I expected it to be. It's not up to today's standards of kobes/AJ 2011's etc, but it shouldn't be expected to be...Only real issue is heel lockdown, but double socks and some tight tying help it. Overall a decent shoe to ball in if you like to throw the nostalgic kicks on to play in once in a while.Originally Posted by Zyzz

Yeah they aint bad to ball in but in all honesty they are too clunky to really tough to maneuver in. The cushioning was just right for me but even with the laces tight I remember feeling my feet slide when I would make hard cuts or stops.
I really want those grey ones. I missed the Orlando CW and I actually only wanted those for nostalgia but Im really feeling the greys. I used to have a black/white retro that I tossed after I beat the hell out of them on the courts, I regret that still to this day. Coulda been a good restore project.

I've tried them with shorts as well as both skinny and straight-cut jeans. Because of the air unit in the heel protruding out (Possible reason why some suggest going 0.5 size down), it adds a bit of length and just doesn't seem right with slim/skinny jeans...

Yeah, the penny 1's shape doesn't really seem to suit jeans/pants. They look good with bball shorts. You try them on with some cargo shorts?
I'm just trying to figure out how much use I can get out of them since I don't plan on balling in them. Those grey's are sick though!
