i just tried these shoes on last night and they are SO DAMN COMFORTABLE!

they are very lightweight and the style's not too outlandish. there's a strap along the top which should give your ankles some support too. the dude at footlocker actually said that some of the younger kids didn't even know who "Penny" was, when they came in the store and looked at the shoes. i like the white's better, but i haven't had a pair of black ball shoes in a while, so i might consider them.

one thing to consider, is if you wear an ankle brace. the inside is like a "sock liner" with a snug top. if you're wearing an ankle brace, it'll be a snug fit going in. once you put the shoe on, it's fine, but the opening is small. so, if you're wearing an ankle brace, you might consider buying a size and a half larger than you normally wear.

I collected Penny's before. My favorite player before he got gimped and Shaq dumped his sorry ass.

I like those shoes as well, but it doesn't fit my price tag.
