There was a point in time where Penny's sneakers held as much weight as Jordan's. Outside the 11s, his sneakers would turn more heads in the mid 90s. His commercials were great too with Lil Penny.
Humble is pretty weird word to use when he saying lil penny at the top and his sneaker line at the top. Not saying he is wrong but humble doesn’t fit …..
If you were born in the 80’s and seen when the Foamposites were first introduced in 97 and they actually was suppose to be for Scottie Pippen. Mike Bibby actually showcased it first when he played for Arizona. Fun fact Jordan actually rocked the Nike flight and cut the “1” off and hooped in it
He is meant for greater things, couldn't reach the pinnacle that he envisioned as a player but as a coach and a community person, he has made a name. Someday he will be seen in even greater role. Such a phoenix story
Penny had the biggest 5 year impact of any player before injury his highlights speak for it self we not going to discredit him as a basketball player because he came in the NBA as an already elite player simply put the man was a cold mfkr Penny was the truth that's why his retro sneakers will always be popular.
Yes, he is God fearing. He is my favorite NBA player and role model in life. God saved him and told him, let's get you off the court and help these kids and be an example for the adults.
Penny is one of those guest where you need him on the complex sneakers podcast where you can take 40-60mins and go over the history in more detail and the way he saw it all
I met him in 2004 when he played for the Knicks and he was so down to 🌎. He signed autograph and took pictures with us and some other fans too. Special moment
he didn’t come up with it, he found the sample and was lucky enough to get his name out with it. eric avar and his team at nike actually designed the sneaker; with scottie pippen (as mentioned in this interview) in mind, but penny had got to the sample pack first. penny wasn’t even the first to wear them on the court. although the first to wear them in the nba; mike bibby for UoArizona wore them during the ‘97 playoffs UCAA season. penny wore them later that season in the nba.
@@twentyoneHz yea I watched the video and I’m not talking about the first model I’m taking about the mind to go with all the designs he has on that shoe. There’s no other shoe like it
If it wasn't for his injuries, no telling what Penny career would of been like. Regardless, The man & his shoe collection have been timeless... the foamposites are 1 of my favorite sneakers of all time.
Penny should be in the Hall of Fame by now I can't lie Penny did have some dope shoes back in the day they should release the penny 12's and threes every year on a regular basis
So cool. Penny is down to earth and very humble. To have left such a mark from the court to the shoe arena, he could have a nasty attitude. Salute, Penny.
Penny is STILL one of my favorite players and the Foamposite ones are STILL one of my favorite shoes ever! Another great episode made even better with an amazing player, coach and human being like Anfernee “Penny” Hardaway!!! Much respect to Joe and the Complex Crew for this one.
Young bucks, believe me when I tell you that back in the day. Kids were rocking Penny's all day. Many kids were rockin Penny's over J's. I know it's hard to imagine. But it's the truth. Penny was a beast back then. And had he not got injured. He would be one of the greatest of all time. Understand this, Penny at his peak was better than so many H.O.F. guards.
LEGENDS after LEGENDS Complex have been killing it lately,to me personally his sneakers are better than Jordan's no hate towards Jordans but I prefer Foamposite and Air pennys.
Awesome episode. I would like someday to be able to afford a pair of Foamposites cause they look soooo amazing. Penny is such a cool and humble person I wish him lots of health and success in everything!
I am a Chicago Bulls fan, grew up in the repeat 3 peat era. I was rooting so hard for Penny when Jordan was gone. And I low-key would not have minded if Penny beat the Bulls just once. I was so sad when he was injured. I am so happy to see that he still relevant with his sneakers and his coaching. And I love that he donated to Autism Speaks.
Great episode, learned something new today,Never knew Scottie Pipppen was in the running to wear the Foams. First time I seen the Foams on Mike Bibby wearing them in the NCAA finals at University of Arizona.
Another sneaker pioneer. Man if Penny stayed healthy God knows how the painted picture of his image would blossom even more. His mark on sneakers still remain relevant to this day. Salute to Penny.
his heart is probably in the right place but why did it have to be a horrible organization like Autism Speaks? those guys don't advocate for autism acceptance but treats it as a disease that needs to be eradicated
The penny 1 is just flawless and he's an incredible humble individual Tennessee strong and he and Mike just took the brand and sneakers to a new level it felt like you was as good or knew him ya know. Respect much love Penny one cent
Man I remember them days..back in the summer of 94 and me being a young kid in Orlando walking around with a lawn mower asking people if I could cut their grass just so I could make some money to buy penny's shoes! Man he was such an amazing player and him and MJ had the best shoes hands down!
man everyone i knew had the og orlandos. i was so sad i could never afford it. people at the rec center had them too. you can tell how much joe was looking forward to this. Penny is a legend, especially in the shoe game.
One of my fave players of all time in my top 5 if never injured he would of been in the G.o.a.t conversation and would of easily won rings but us true basketball heads know how special he was as a player and then he's so humble kudos to complex for this episode and people run the numbers up on this cause this man was as great as any basketball player who has ever laced them up and next complex need to do a Grant Hill episode💯
I have been waiting for this episode since. Penny inspires my life ever since I watched his sleek passes and the facebook documentary I felt he truly is a teacher, a father to many and a coach. He makes basketball a worthwhile sport
I would love if TNT brought back the NBA Open Court show they were doing back from like 2012-2016. I still rewatch them. Be great to bring it back and get some faces like Penny on the panel to talk esp. hang with Shaq. Get AI, some others. bring back C Webb, Reggie. It was a great show. So much great NBA history even when they had Mchale one and Dr J.
THOSE PENNY SHOES WERE SO COMFORTABLE ON THE COURT,,,,MY FAVORITE FOR BASKETBALL WAS THE PENNYS,,,JORDANS,,, SCOTTIE PIPPENS & VINCE CARTER SHOXS!!!!!!
Love that "verzuz" challenge Penny said. Let's put something like that together Complex! I would definitely watch some sort of content around this concept.
I lived in FL during "Penny's prime and those Orlando teams was what made me a Magic fan and still am to this day. I did not realize until watching this and seeing the graphic of his shoe line that the royal blue / black foam posites were a part of his line, that's one of the shoes I use in NBA 2K when I wear Orlando themed outfits or need a shoe w/ royal blue in them. During my 20 yrs of living in FL, I 16 of those I lived 30 mins outside of Orlando and for a job shadow class my 10th grade yr in high school in "96 I shadowed Glen Dehmer, former channel 9 weekend sports anchor and he happened to be coving the Orlando Magic practice that day for a game vs the Kings that night. And, so I got to meet some Orlando players, that day including "Penny", NBA TV's Dennis Scott, and NBA Hall of Famer Mitch Richmond. So, now anytime I see "Penny" or see him in a story involving his coaching his almu mater Memphis, I think back to that day. I would love to be able to still find a few pairs of his shoes to add to my collection as a keepsake.

What’s your favorite Penny Hardaway signature shoe?
All of them except the 5, and 6 he didn’t hoop in those so those don’t count
All of them!!!! Except 5-6
Air Penny 2! One of the best penny shoes i think? 😅
Penny 1 Orlando but the 2 isn't bad.
The only guy to look at Jordan s. Up.down 😂
Penny Hardaway probably has the best signature shoes after Michael Jordan and it’s not up for debate.
There is no “probably”
Ima go mj, kobe, penny. I'm biased cuz kobes are my favorite for playing on the court aside from j11, 12
@@Jayhal278it’s either yes or no. No I’m between (pause). 👍💯
There was a point in time where Penny's sneakers held as much weight as Jordan's. Outside the 11s, his sneakers would turn more heads in the mid 90s. His commercials were great too with Lil Penny.
Iverson as well
Jordan’s Penny’s & Iverson’s
EASILY one of the best guests on here. Dude was very humble and his signature sneakers are dope!
All facts you speaking. Normally I'll keep scrolling most times but for Penny I didn't even hesitate to click.
He is such a humble person.
Yall must be close
ZATINTHEODORE 🗽
Known to be very philanthropic
He just said he’ll go against jordan in a shoe versus
Humble is pretty weird word to use when he saying lil penny at the top and his sneaker line at the top. Not saying he is wrong but humble doesn’t fit …..
I didn’t know Penny’s sneaker history went this deep. 😮 He left his mark in the culture fr
Search for his bike commercials
If you were born in the 80’s and seen when the Foamposites were first introduced in 97 and they actually was suppose to be for Scottie Pippen. Mike Bibby actually showcased it first when he played for Arizona. Fun fact Jordan actually rocked the Nike flight and cut the “1” off and hooped in it
I sent a comment before watching the vid… and they stated everything. Accept the Mike Bibby story.
I got the penny 1 all stars & they are super comfortable! Need to get some foamposites & the 3’s
You must be really young or new to the game, but keep on growing dude...
He is meant for greater things, couldn't reach the pinnacle that he envisioned as a player but as a coach and a community person, he has made a name. Someday he will be seen in even greater role. Such a phoenix story
Only because of injury. Still has some of the best highlights out there to this day
Penny had the biggest 5 year impact of any player before injury his highlights speak for it self we not going to discredit him as a basketball player because he came in the NBA as an already elite player simply put the man was a cold mfkr Penny was the truth that's why his retro sneakers will always be popular.
Penny was arguably the best player in the league when he was healthy. He was a prodigy before injury...
He is that guy .
Yes, he is God fearing. He is my favorite NBA player and role model in life. God saved him and told him, let's get you off the court and help these kids and be an example for the adults.
Penny is one of those guest where you need him on the complex sneakers podcast where you can take 40-60mins and go over the history in more detail and the way he saw it all
He's a highly intelligent man, just like Mr. Bryant RIP.
It's so dope to see more and more LEGENDS as guest! The nostalgia is crazy right now...
Agree with this 110%!
Gotta do Barkley next!! Then Lefkoe lol
I met Penny back in 97 at the height of his career and he was as humble then as he is now. I still have the pic I took with him.
I met him in 2004 when he played for the Knicks and he was so down to 🌎. He signed autograph and took pictures with us and some other fans too. Special moment
One thing I respect is his ability to come up with the foampositie and play in it
he didn’t come up with it, he found the sample and was lucky enough to get his name out with it. eric avar and his team at nike actually designed the sneaker; with scottie pippen (as mentioned in this interview) in mind, but penny had got to the sample pack first. penny wasn’t even the first to wear them on the court. although the first to wear them in the nba; mike bibby for UoArizona wore them during the ‘97 playoffs UCAA season. penny wore them later that season in the nba.

Respect to Penny. One of my favorite basketball players during my childhood
Yes! If not for injuries he woul be consider on of the greatest to do it!
If it wasn't for his injuries, no telling what Penny career would of been like. Regardless, The man & his shoe collection have been timeless... the foamposites are 1 of my favorite sneakers of all time.
Penny should be in the Hall of Fame by now I can't lie Penny did have some dope shoes back in the day they should release the penny 12's and threes every year on a regular basis
Penny just had a classic shoe. He had a movement, loved the commercials as a kid his game was sick always got love for penny.
This took me back. So many classics mentioned. Another dope interview by Joe.
The penny ones are the best looking kicks of all time in my opinion. I finally got a retro pair once I got older and could afford to buy em.
Facts
So cool. Penny is down to earth and very humble. To have left such a mark from the court to the shoe arena, he could have a nasty attitude. Salute, Penny.
Penny is STILL one of my favorite players and the Foamposite ones are STILL one of my favorite shoes ever! Another great episode made even better with an amazing player, coach and human being like Anfernee “Penny” Hardaway!!! Much respect to Joe and the Complex Crew for this one.

Penny deserved a better playing career
Super excited, I’ve been a fan of Penny since Blue Chips. He will always be a legend!!
You a real one for referencing "Blue chips", my favorite basketball movie of all time
LEGENDS after LEGENDS Complex have been killing it lately,to me personally his sneakers are better than Jordan's no hate towards Jordans but I prefer Foamposite and Air pennys.
Over Concorde 11s? Cool🤷♂️
The pennys are right there with Jordan’s shoes ! Amazing era ! ❤❤💯
Penny is such a legend but man he comes off SUPER humble..
Lil penny Still the greatest promotional concept ever …..
And the galaxy 🌌 foam had the world going nuts 🥜.
❤
One of my favorite players as a kid
Him and Grant Hill are 2 of the biggest what ifs. If it wasn't for unfortunate injuries. Both could have gone on to greatness.
And Brandon Roy as well
T-Mac too
Derrick Rose as well
Awesome episode. I would like someday to be able to afford a pair of Foamposites cause they look soooo amazing. Penny is such a cool and humble person I wish him lots of health and success in everything!
Im rocking some Foams right now! never been comfy to me but they are def tough for the court
My favorite player of all-time nothing like penny wit the magic 🪄
As a kid and “tall” PG, I loved Penny. Wearing his sneakers and emulating his game. Good times
Smart move... he was amazing on the court.
You probably had no handles, I would have dunked on you.
Yes, same here.
This man is a legend. I had the biggest crush on him back in the day. Humble guy, Memphis is proud of u, Penny 👑🙏
Great episode JLP! Excellent player, coach, and Man Mr. Hardaway!
I am a Chicago Bulls fan, grew up in the repeat 3 peat era. I was rooting so hard for Penny when Jordan was gone. And I low-key would not have minded if Penny beat the Bulls just once. I was so sad when he was injured. I am so happy to see that he still relevant with his sneakers and his coaching. And I love that he donated to Autism Speaks.
The Memphis legend 💪🏿
This guy is a guy's guy man, humble respectful, respected awesome! Personality.
Great to see an athlete on here again! Feel like it’s been forever.
Guys an icon. Salute 🫡
We need to see his closet
he sure has awkward posture.
Great episode, learned something new today,Never knew Scottie Pipppen was in the running to wear the Foams. First time I seen the Foams on Mike Bibby wearing them in the NCAA finals at University of Arizona.
If I’m not mistaken, the foam pro (the ones made with the swoosh) were the ones designed for Scottie.
Yep, Scottie didn’t like them.
Another sneaker pioneer. Man if Penny stayed healthy God knows how the painted picture of his image would blossom even more. His mark on sneakers still remain relevant to this day. Salute to Penny.
Penny, my childhood basketball hero.
His commercials as a kid were crazy
Finally my childhood Hero on Sneaker Shopping! Thank you Complex
Mad Respect To Penny One of the Greatest 💯💪🏾🔑
That was an amazing episode, what an amazing human being Penny Hardaway is.
Without lil penny I don’t think bron and Kobe would’ve had their iconic puppet commercials
Legend for real humble and peaceful much respect to another goat Penny
He’s the reason I still wear my Foams
My favorite player growing up. I even had the Little Penny doll!
Too much class!!! Everybody NEEDS to be like Penny Hardaway!
One of my favorite players of all-time. People forget how amazing he was in the 90s
I’m 44 so I was in school when the original ones dropped. It is so crazy to see how good most of the shoes from the 90s still hold up.
This man's footprint in the NBA is like none other. From the shoes to the way he carries himself. Can't forget about lil penny commercials.
He was definitely my favorite player he was a killer in the NBA when he played
Same
Love him on and off the court
He is the ONLY one who didn't buy any shoes. He donated them!!! I love this man so much💙🤍
My fav player back in the day. Also has the sickest sneakers! Penny 1 & @ are absolute grails.
I love that he bought nothing for him but donated to charity. Now we're talking. Go on, Penny! Beautiful gesture
his heart is probably in the right place but why did it have to be a horrible organization like Autism Speaks? those guys don't advocate for autism acceptance but treats it as a disease that needs to be eradicated
This was my favorite one yet! Penny is such a humble person. Great cause to donate to as well! ❤❤❤
Why do you put the manufacture suggested price None of the sneakers in any of the videos sell for those prices in any of those overpriced stores
The penny 1 is just flawless and he's an incredible humble individual Tennessee strong and he and Mike just took the brand and sneakers to a new level it felt like you was as good or knew him ya know. Respect much love Penny one cent
Man I remember them days..back in the summer of 94 and me being a young kid in Orlando walking around with a lawn mower asking people if I could cut their grass just so I could make some money to buy penny's shoes! Man he was such an amazing player and him and MJ had the best shoes hands down!
That’s a great story.
So did you make enough money mowing lawns to get the shoes?
@@jchung1506 yes actually I did. After cutting I think about 6 or 7 different people's yards lol 😂
Penny's the man. Class act as always. True blue role model. 💙
man everyone i knew had the og orlandos. i was so sad i could never afford it. people at the rec center had them too. you can tell how much joe was looking forward to this. Penny is a legend, especially in the shoe game.
Respect for Penny!
Hands down 1 of the best sneaker lines & one of my favorite basketball players EVER💯💯💯💯💯
such a down to earth superstar. i'm surprised joe has been only threatened once for sneakers.
No way my favorite player of all time!!!! I always wonder why no one buys the 2s in all these episodes 🤦🏻
Being a Memphis native watching penny is a kid I'm so proud to see something positive coming out the City surrounded by so much negativity
Bruh remember them Jordans with the 1 on the back
He'll yea I remember thoes
My oldest son and i are watching this legend and was so surprised to see he supports children w autism as my son is autistic ❤🙏
One of my fave players of all time in my top 5 if never injured he would of been in the G.o.a.t conversation and would of easily won rings but us true basketball heads know how special he was as a player and then he's so humble kudos to complex for this episode and people run the numbers up on this cause this man was as great as any basketball player who has ever laced them up and next complex need to do a Grant Hill episode💯
Sheesh I never knew the foams were supposed to be for Pippen! Loved this episode
Hands down one of the greatest to ever play the game and represent success. Well deserved "🔥" stamp of approval.
Penny Hardaway's sneakers are timeless
One of the most underrated players ever….. penny was great man
JA MORANT LIVED IN THE SUBURBS HE WAS NOT UNFORTUNATE AT ALL.
I have been waiting for this episode since. Penny inspires my life ever since I watched his sleek passes and the facebook documentary I felt he truly is a teacher, a father to many and a coach. He makes basketball a worthwhile sport
Just seemed so rushed in the intro but One of the best episodes by far.
I would love if TNT brought back the NBA Open Court show they were doing back from like 2012-2016. I still rewatch them. Be great to bring it back and get some faces like Penny on the panel to talk esp. hang with Shaq. Get AI, some others. bring back C Webb, Reggie. It was a great show. So much great NBA history even when they had Mchale one and Dr J.
IN PENNY PRIME HE WAS A TOP 5 PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE,,,AMAZING BALLER!!!!
DO YOURSELF A FAVOR & TH-cam PENNY HIGHLIGHTS!!!!!💯💯💯
THOSE PENNY SHOES WERE SO COMFORTABLE ON THE COURT,,,,MY FAVORITE FOR BASKETBALL WAS THE PENNYS,,,JORDANS,,,
SCOTTIE PIPPENS & VINCE CARTER SHOXS!!!!!!
The penny 1s are some of the best on or off court basketball shoes ever. Especially in the Orlando colourway
I lost so much respect for this clown 🤡 for dissing Kobe asking him for an autograph and gained so much more for Shaq
Most of these youngers don't know the Foams came from Penny
First NBA PLAYER with a shoe costing more than $200..smh meaning the Penny foamposites
Love that "verzuz" challenge Penny said. Let's put something like that together Complex! I would definitely watch some sort of content around this concept.
you got grant hill and ben wallace and chris webber😂😂🤣😂 in nba hall of fame but not penny hardaway i still think the nba is a scripted sport like wwe
I met Penny Hardaway @ Fox Hills Mall 2011 , Very cool giant guy ✌🏾
Once I read Penny its an automatic watch for me
Penny was undeniable in the league. Total package player from the jump.
First guy I seen on the show that promoted and donated to charity. I hope that inspires others that visit to do the same. ✌️N❤️ World
Yo Penny definitely was nice with it too. I still watch Blue Chips, dont judge me
PENNY❤❤❤❤❤❤ LEGEND .
Still respect Penny so much. Loved his play. Loved his attitude and demeanor. I wore his number on my high school jersey every year.
Had Penny not gone through the level of injury that he did throughout his career he arguably could have been the greatest player of all time...
How good was he defensively?🤔
How good was he defensively?🤔
Ball like Penny Hardaway⛹🏽♂️
