      Naw I never had an issue with Nike shoes them 9 year old chinese child slave laborers know what they doing. Zion is a human freak. I have never seen a hooper do this to a brand new pair of Nike ball shoes. And1 shoes, back in the day no douvt😂. I think I popped atleast 2 pairs after about 2 months into the season. I had to tape and super glue the bottom part of thr shoe that separated from the rest of thr shoe so it wouldn't flip flops everywhere and have my toes pop out😂. Zion is a one of a kind freak athlete and specimen. Csnt blame the shoes unless they were custom built for him specifically and they were jus prototypes. I guess they didn't factor in thr fact zion isn't like any other nba player they sponsored or endorsed. Csnt blame Nike. Gotta blame zion imo. Haven't seen any other pro have this happen to them except for lonzo😂.

    A hardcore sneakerhead told me a few years ago that nike had been resting on their reputation and started cutting too many corners terms of production. Then voila.. we seen jerseys starting to ripg during games, sneakers falling apart quicker, busting open, etc. Just look at nikes from the 80s-early 2000s to now. Just about everything is iron-on, lightweight and/or cheap looking.

      Alot of shoes today are supposed to be light weight, and this is a rare occurrence for Nike shoes to break in game or just last a short period of time, and the jerseys arent worse quality, they are supposed to be the "paperlight" jerseys, it's just an experiment just like the 2006 NBA basketball.

      John Edwards I didn’t know that, however I do know if that, that was also not the reason he switched to under armour. I believe Nike tried to pursue Curry into a deal with them but because they can care less they forgot to even change a slide show from K.D’s name I believe to Curry’s. Goes to show how much they feed the same pitches to their endorsement signers or whatever you wanna call them. They didn’t care about Curry at the end of the day. Nike was selfish. Therefore lost a major deal and Curry opted with Under armour that was not too popular back then but of course now is up there almost right belong side Nike.

    He's wearing Paul George 2.5 .. made for players like PG or guard/SF players. Not a 300lb tank that runs like a train. He needs to be in some Lebrons. Basketball players should know what shoes to wear to fit their play style. Stephen A, Maxx and Cain don't know anything about sneakers or playing basketball in sneakers so of course they'll say it's a bad look.

      From a PR standpoint it is a bad look. It doesn't matter whether they were the right shoes or not, people who know shoes will know better, but the millions of people who DON'T know shoes will only see that he busted through a pair of Nikes. Like Stephen A said, It's a bad look but they'll be fine. The average person isn't going to know that the shoes were meant for a different kind of player, they are just going to know that Zion, a star, in one of the biggest games of his life, blew a Nike shoe out and was injured. I personally don't know anything about sneakers, but I do know how brand image and public perception go together....

      He also wears different pairs pretty regularly. Zion wore that particular pair too much. You can see on the outsole of the shoe that it was worn a lot.

But he, like many other athletes, probably prefers comfort and the broken in feeling of a shoe as opposed to having to break in new pairs all the time.

      The Clinton NAFTA deal, that's what happened. I've worked in Mexico and China in manufacturing. I've seen the poor quality leaving the doors. The only way you can get good quality in those plants is to have a full time American Quality Assurance Manager employed there. Otherwise their focus is quantity. They both have the mentality that the more product they move the more money they make for the American company, and they will be proud. They have no sense of being embarrassed by poor quality, just keep the product moving. It's really sad. I opened plants in both countries for American manufacturers.

      It’s cheaper for them to own sweatshops in third world countries though, and capitalism only cares about profit margins.

    This is completely blown out of proportion. Billions of players have taken the floor with Nike shoes but how many times can you remember this happening other than Zion and Manu.

    Hell, My son was a running back in High School wearing Nike cleats and we went through three pair one season where the Nike cleats ripped open.. he was only 225. I think most people just do not report on the issues they have and just go buy more shoes like we did. You don't have time to wait 10 to 14 days for a return..
