I have never played ball in the PG1 because when i tried them out in store they were too narrow and hard to get on. I bought the PG2 blind, and for the price, it is a great shoe.
Pros
-traction
-lockdown
-customized lacing
-bouncy zoom
-cushioned heel
-materials
-minimal break in time - gets better after every wear
Cons
-ankle support -- i wish there was 1 more lace hole for additional ankle support but its not horrible
-aesthetics -- not really in love with the look of the shoe. looks kind of generic and almost unfinished.
-not a big deal but the laces are really long. what i did was go thru the middle tongue loop twice, then thru the side panel loop. this also laid down the tongue loop because it looked silly sticking up. hopefully i explained this correctly. those that have the shoe in hand should understand.
Hope this helps anyone on the fence.
