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 …..

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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

This was my favorite one yet! Penny is such a humble person. Great cause to donate to as well! ❤❤❤

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

The pennys are right there with Jordan’s shoes ! Amazing era ! ❤❤💯

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.

I really enjoy watching complex sneaker shopping episodes, cause they get the options on the wrestlers, actors, rappers and basketball players. It's always good to see penny hardaway!!! Great episode!!! 😊👍👍💯

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.

Lil penny Still the greatest promotional concept ever ….. And the galaxy 🌌 foam had the world going nuts 🥜. ❤

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.

Penny is such a legend but man he comes off SUPER humble..

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!

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

My favorite player growing up. I even had the Little Penny doll!

Great content! The Lil Penny days was lit! Time is flying man!! Hope everyone has a blessed holiday🤙🏾🙏🏾

Dope espisode!! When I saw it I had to watch it I remember wanting some of those when I played in the playoffs in middle school basketball !!never had the chance to buy any my dad bought me mervins shoes wasn’t bad but they didn’t have penny’s in there lol

I love the Clyde Drexler poster in the background that came from a Little Caesars promo. I had that one and a Larry Johnson one on my wall back in the day.

Love the foamposite story and Penny's signature line as well! Salute to one of the greats!

Love him on and off the court

Respect for Penny!

As a guy who loved nike innovation and sci fi look, the Penny line was always a joy to examine and experience which played a critical role in my design approach. I know Eric Avar played a huge role in designing but i always thanked Penny for approving the design direction. Thank you everyone who made it happen Still i would pick the silver 1/2 cent among my Penny collection
