Basic isn't always boring. Foams used to be more basic clean colorways and they were dope. Just because these aren't tasting the rainbow doesn't mean they aren't fly.

Considering Penny played for Orlando, I'm still confused why they haven't made this colorway. Instead of a version of green.

he wore the foams @ Milwaukee, @ Washington, @ New York & vs. the Bulls that is what I can recall from games that I have seen. Checking the ESPN Playerfile, it seems that it were the last nine games of the season that he wore them considering the fact that it began in New York,
so he wore them @ NY, @ Milwaukee, @ Toronto, @ Cleveland, @ Washington, vs. Bulls, vs. Boston, vs. Detroit and vs. Miami.
Does anybobdy have his game @ Milwaukee on tape or DVD, it was played on April 8th 97?

Another theory: Talk to my older cousins who was a HUGE!! Magic and Penny fan back in the day. And a huge Foamhead. Dude bout multi pair of Carolina Pros at retail 
When talking to him about Foams, I ask him about if he remember Penny wearing black Foams. He said only the ones he colored, I said yeah he colored the grooves, he then gives him an alternative recollection of the Foam coloring story. Penny debuts the Neon Royal Foams, league has an issue with the shoes. Penny is told the shoe needs more black to avoid more fines. Penny decides to color the ENTIRE shoe with a sharpie, making them appear black on TV and in pics. Nike doesn't like this because they're not releasing a black colorway and needs Penny to wear the Blue pair on court to promote the shoe. The comprise is he colors the grooves for the playoffs games against the Heat, this way he avoids the fines, and the shoes appear blue on camera.
First time I'm hearing this version of the story, and I call BS, but he swears up and down that Penny colored the entire shoe before he just colored the grooves

I think in the team Penny Thread, there is a guy who posted photos from the Amway center and there is the Penny Hardaway foam from the playoffs, which has the black grooves! It would be great, if we could ask Penny ourselves

I hope you know the story behind those. they were customs by penny because he couldn't wear the shoe due to it breaking NBA violations, so he colored the grooves with sharpie to make it like that.

Back then the NBA had rules that the shoes you wore had to match the uniforms and match your teammates. In Penny's case the shoes had to be 50% black (I think that was the criteria) to match Orlando's black road jersey and because the Magic wore black shoes on the road
MJ got fined 2 years earlier for the same rule for wearing the Concords on the road.
