The PG 5 basketball shoes are great! After wearing them for a week these are the pros I’ve found: great grip design on the bottom(never once found myself slipping/sliding);
great ankle support (the cushion around the ankle fits tight and feels really snug); relatively lightweight (doesn’t feel heavy at all to me but not the lightest I’ve worn); great
design (the black with gold and orange highlights look good as I like black/dark shoes).Cons:Slightly narrow across the front, my left foot fits perfectly but my right foot feels a
little cramped so I would size up for those who have wider feet. I loosened the laces up front and was fine wearing them all day at work and around the house an...

I am a little bit older, so I prefer shoes that are not too flashy, and comfortable. When I first saw the NIKE PG 5 I was a bit surprised that I really liked the look. The top of the
shoe is black, so not too flashy but classy looking. The white soles also go nicely with the black tops helping with that classic vibe. I have found that these shoes can be worn
with almost any type of pants. I typically wear blue jeans or black jeans and the shows work perfect with each. Most importantly, these are very comfortable shoes. I usually
wear running shoes for walking and working, so I was a bit hesitant to try more of a "court" shoe. However, the NIKE PG 5 has been a very pleasant surprise. They...

The Nike PG5s are fantastic. Not only do they look cool, but they are also extremely comfortable.When I was a kid I dreamed of owning tons of pairs of slick basketball shoes.
Unfortunately, when I grew up to be a middle-aged man with pronating feet, I discovered my sneaker selection was sadly extremely limited.Honestly, I typically can only buy
very boring ugly sneakers that I also need to wear orthotics in (I know, it sounds like I'm in my 90s but I swear I'm in my late 30s) . The PG5s are the first pair of cool sneakers

However, the NIKE PG 5 has been a very pleasant surprise. They are as comfortable as any running shoe I have owned in recent years, and seem to be great for walking and wearing in a work environment. They are well padded, which is important for me as I sometimes have back issues. I have small feet (size 8) and sometimes have issues finding shoes that fit. These fit just right and seem to be true to size. I wear this shoe all day, and its comfort doesn't diminish as the day goes on. Overall, these shoes fit my needs very well. They have a classic look, and are comfortable enough to wear the entire day. I give these shoes my highest recommendation.

(not that I know exactly what that feels like I guess, but if I did, this would be it).My only criticism of the PG5s is it feels like the stitching on the Nike swoosh could be a little cleaner. But really that is such a minor thing for shoes that look great and feel great too.I can't wait until my gym basketball league returns and I get to wear these shoes in the games. My teammates, used to my lame Dad shoes of the past, won't know what hit them!

These new style shoes are great for just about everything! When I first put the shoes on they did fit alittle snug but after a few hours of wearing them the were fine. I wear a 9.5 in men's shoes and these are 9.5 although at first they are snug they will end up being perfect fit after alittle wear on them. These shoes leave me feeling comfortable on my feet all day long not matter what kind of activity I am doing. My wife and I went on a jog, we went shopping and stayed on our feet for 8+hours and my feet never once hurt. The material is very nice and light weight making it easy for my feet to get air and not get hot. The black color on these shoes does not show dirt easily and if anything gets on them it wipes right off. These shoes are great for so many reasons ...

I have been wearing these shoes everyday and will continue to do so because of the great comfort and support they give me for the long days on my feet.

The PG 5 is a pretty nice unisex shoe. The gold and orange accents add a little feminine touch, without being too feminine. They ran a little small for me. I saw people say that they eventually stretch, but I haven’t gotten to that point yet, and I’ve worn them for a few days now. Looking down at them from my angle, they look really wide to me, which makes me a little self conscious, but my husband said they looked fine. They didn’t feel wide on my foot, just looked it. They had good support, especially around the ankle, but were a little tight towards the toes. While it’s too cold to play basketball right now where I live, I did run errands with them and wore them around the house. Besides being a little tight at the toes, they felt good and gave me a much needed ... MoreThe PG 5 is a pretty nice unisex shoe.

The first thing you will notice with the shoes is how well they hug your feet. Immediately you notice that the fit is true to size and offers tremendous support. Making cuts during cardio workouts will benefit as these shoes offer natural movement. Once you start walking you notice the cushion on the bottom that is taking off the tension on your feet.After spending a day in these shoes, the support and comfort that they offer is immediately noticeable. So if these are shoes for everyday walking, you won’t be disappointed.The design has done a great job of incorporating modern and classic looks into the shoe. The classic black and gold compliment the highlight colors on the side very well.I do not play basketball often, but I shot around a bit in them and felt ...

Some may consider the colors to limit outfit options, but that is a personal preference. I think they go very well with everything due to black being the primary color.

The shoes are fashionable, very cushioned, have excellent grip, and are very supportive of my heel/ankle. However, they were pretty uncomfortable, and they run smaller than other shoes by the same brand. I wore the shoes around the house for awhile when I first got them to break them in, but they remained uncomfortable in the heel.Also, I wear running shoes made by the same brand, and despite being the same size, these shoes were much smaller, especially in the toe-box. My toes were very squished together, when the other shoes by the same brand are comfortable right out of the box.These shoes would not likely be my go-to pair because of the comfort.

However, there are features that show high quality here. I liked how the top two lace eyelets are lower adjusted on the shoe to make the shoe really snug when you tie them up. They also have a loop on the heal to hold to help pull on the shoe, which is smart. The quality of the shoe seems great. and the "features" are things you don't find everywhere. But just make sure to find the right size shoe for you.

The construction and feel of the shoe appear to be premium. The shoe is lightweight and airy, which are ideal traits for a good basketball shoe. The insole of the shoe is cushiony and comfortable. However, I typically wear size 9 in other brands and I found the portion of the shoe towards the toes to be too snug. As such, it seems it would take a long period of wear to break them in where they could be worn for long periods comfortably. The overall design of the shoe is pleasing to the eye. The white portion on the sole seemed to mark quite easily, though, so it may be difficult to keep them looking clean and sharp without some effort. I liked the look and overall cushion and comfort most. If I were to change anything, I’d change the white sole/bottom portion of the ...

I also would have gotten a 9 wide in this particular shoe for comfort, as I think that would fit much better here.

These shoes are amazing!As a lifelong lover of basketball, I have worn dozens and dozens of basketball shoes over the years. Some are great for performance in games, but lack aesthetics; while others are more stylish and lack performance. When It comes to the PG 5 you are absolutely getting the best of both worlds!These shoes are not only extremely comfortable, but they are very stylish and can be worn on several occasions. The colors are very subtle, yet pronounced, which allows them to blend without being super flashy (huge plus for me). They can be worn by athletes, sneaker heads and the casual shoe buyer with no issue!In addition to the great style of this shoe, they were designed to be very durable.

These shoes are very rigid while still maintaining comfort. The hard plastic mold inserted into the sole allows the athlete to maintain a solid arch while playing ball. These shoes were built to last!I am very impressed with the PG 5’s!
