Whats underneath the Nike Air Max Penny basketball shoe? Check them out for yourself with this deep dive on court playtest, review, teardown and durability test. As a foot doctor I look at basketball shoes and basketball shoe technology a bit differently as I focus more on what foot types benefit from these shoes as well as the basketball shoe's functional attributes on the basketball court
Some of the main areas we cover in this basketball shoe shoe playtest, and performance review of the Nike Air Max Penny
- The weight, durability, fit and playability
- What are the features of the insole, midsole, and outsole

@kervindeguzman9440 9 месяцев назад

I think it would be great if you would tear down retro basketball shoes more often so that younger audiences can get a glimpse of what basketball shoes of the past bring to the table in terms of technology and performance, which is way different compared to other basketball shoes of today.

@megasorearse7032 9 месяцев назад

Before I bought my 2016 retro, watched quite a few reviews, knowing it heel slips, went 1/2 size down. Forefoot and mid foot lockdown is fantastic. It's just the heel. Once I have gone 1/2 size down, I punched extra holes behind the last shoe lace hole for extra lock down, worked fantastically. I used a wood carving knife and carved out more groves on the outsole, much better. Zach, if you are going to review the penny 2, you MUST go half size down. even that might not stop the heel slip. I had to add heel paddings and 2 layers of socks to get the penny 2 go.

It’s so funny. Had these in 1995 and had no heel slippage. Have them again in 2023. Tons of heel slippage. Crazy.

Cool video. I would've went with the Air Max Penny II. Those have similar cushion setup, but have a massive carbon fiber shank. Plus a very supportive upper, and a more versatile outsole. Those I think are still (even though heavy and not breathable) performance beasts.

Great video, doc. Ive a pair of retro Penny 1's and 2's. I dusted off and played in the Penny 2's a few weeks ago and changed to the Lebron 20's after a game and half and felt the world of difference traction and impact protection/cushion wise, two-factors I look for, as a 39yo, when buying shoes. Penny's my all time fav player but his first 2 signatures are no good to play indoors with today. The 4's and the 5's though.... 🕺🏽👍🏽

@MrSarge823 9 месяцев назад

Absolutely love your reviews. I had the og Orlando colour-way back in the day and loved playing in them, until one of the rear air max units popped on a landing (I'm only 5'10" and was about 73kg's, so no idea why they popped. Not a hard landing at all!!). Anyway I was gutted because I loved playing in these. Thankfully Nike sent me the Penny 2's as a replacement pair - can't wait for that review!! Thank you for covering these kicks!

@elijahdelacruz3204 6 месяцев назад

As someone who plays primarily outdoor, the Penny 1 would have been one of my all time favorite shoes to hoop in (yes, even compared to some of my favorites in the KT7 and Curry 1), if it wasn’t for the heel slippage. Great lifestyle shoe today, and would have been still an ok to great performer if the heel counter had some sculpting to prevent heel slippage. The Penny 2 however, are a different story. Those I think hold up well today in terms of performance, especially since the heel slippage issue has been solved in those.

@DavidBagga 9 месяцев назад

Great video! I Wish Nike would just protro all this stuff and add the new tech. I’ve been playing in the retro 7s and 12s and I put the move game day insoles in and they honestly feel like slightly heavy Nike bball shoes. Most of the retros (to me) start to burn your feet after about the 45 minute mark of playing bball. They’re Perfect for the men’s league games with running clocks 👟

@liamcleaver764 8 месяцев назад

Hey Zach i know you're a foot doctor, could the instability in the back of the shoe played a part in Penny's knee problems? I find I can feel similar instability in my LeBron Nxxt Gen's & stopping suddenly makes my heel wobble & I can feel my knee straining outwards. Love ya work by the way.

@FootDoctorZach 8 месяцев назад

If the shoe is unstable in the rear foot your body will have to make it up somehow - so yeah it could contribute but was it significant enough to make an impact- who knows

An here now a days their almost a rarity to even find, & when you do find them its with a hefty price tag, like who can afford that??? Then i come across this video where you cut them up like that?? smh... There are people out here who can only dream of having & wearing the type of shoes your destroying, just so you can tell us how comfortable you think they are!?!?... wth man... this just made me sick.

They were are/Released in 2022/2023 and they are made different then they were back when they Originally came out. The materials are Cheaper, the Design has been slightly changed as well (especially to fit new parameters and materials) so it’s basically a NEW Sneaker with an “Old School” feel! But it’s DEFINITELY NOT Vintage or even OG!! 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ less talking in Circles and trying to convince others and just be straight up! Sorry not meant to hate or anything, I support your channel and enjoy your videos etc etc but this Video just struck a cord with me lol 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🫠🫠🫠🫠
