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😂.

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.

Actually, their memory foam is very bad for support. My pediatrist told me not to wear anything with memory foam in them, that being one of the reasons.
Can’t be sued by the player but he can petition to not wear the shoes if they jeopardize his health. Which he won’t since K will feed him bullshit. No protection for the non pro athletes anymore sadly
Mark my word. You read it here first. Nike will develop And market Zion rated basketball shoes. And it will fly off the shelves and give Nike it’s biggest profits.
I remember when my fellow classmates were always talking about him and I remember going his school’s basketball games, and watching him work his talent on the court. It’s amazing how far he has come and now hearing his name on national news, it’s just amazing honestly. I wish him the best and a fast recovery. He is making all of us here in Spartanburg proud.💕
macpumperkinz right that shoe is made for Paul George 6’9 230 not 6’6 285. Big difference in weight and power and stress hitting that shoe. It’s a great shoe. He better get some shaqs lol
I have known for years Nike is cheap crap made by Chinese sweat shop labor. like the man said it costs about $1 per pair to make. If anyone thinks you are getting quality out of crap made this cheaply, I can get you a Chinese car to race in NASCAR.
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.
Will had the best take. Zion is 6’6 285 and is moving faster, cutting harder, and jumping higher than anybody at that size. He just needs thicker shoes like some Brons. This is getting a little overblown.
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.
This is so true. When I saw he was wearing Kyrie's I said that's not a durable shoe for him. Now the PG's explode on him in game. These kids go for looks and favorite players, instead of utility.
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....

My $180 air max did that and the worse I did in mine was weight train. The sole came right off. Been buying nothing but new balance since then and they are the best put together shoes I’ve ever owned.
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.
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.

Shaq shoes were custom made Reeboks. And he played in high tops.
Not to mention Zion would be the second heaviest player in the NBA beside the other center on Philly
Shaq and embiid aren't as explosive as zion is
Shaq did it in some Payless shoes
New Balance and every other American made sneaker company should seize on this marketing opportunity.
prazertv why do they have to be American made?
Thats is why Adidas is the way to go. Honestly Nike stopped looking at quality and is selling logo from a long time ago...
****Cam Reddish did that to his shoe****
so nike have been selling us 1 dollar sneakers ??? hmmmmm. what?
I know right as if this isn’t 30 year old news lol they’ve always done this !
This is not news
You barely found out? I thought everyone has known this for decades.
It's not limited to shoes either
@@lionelpolo221 haha right
This is a key opportunity for Lavar and his ugly sneakers lol
this doesnt hurt nike at all. theres more guys like max in pg 2.5's PAUL GEORGE'S LAST SNEAKER than there are 6'6 300lb tanks in pg 2.5's
Nike the reason he not playing the beginning of his rookie season rn✖️🤦♂️
Looks like someone isn't signing a nike contract in the nba hmmm....
Knicks, trade your pick for Anthony Davis even if it's #1. Zion has concerns now similar to Blake in college.
Moron, AD won't ever join the LA pretenders.
He needs to wear the shoes Godzilla wore 🐊
You put an alligator😂😂😂
wear reebok..ask shaq lol
Adidas is doing the Stevie J face.
Dead meme
Yes I am .......
going to subscribe to Ultra Class Kennels
I cant believe we are all freaking out over someones shoe. The internet is getting so bad.
Says someone with a royal giant pfp
@@bailey7657 Says someone who just has Fortnite videos in there channel.
@@ColorSand okay bud first of all you have tik tok compilations and streamer THICC moments so you need to stfu second of all I have 3 public vids and 2 or them are fortnite clips not even being sweaty just funny clips and you got a whole ass compilation of Apex legends so don't you even start that shit.
@@bailey7657 lmao agreed
he's gonna be wearing Lebron's shoes.
He should be wearing lebrons...
Zion needs to play in some Osiris D3s.
Sketchers so happy right now
if we keepin it real zion is signing with nike. y’all just want something to talk about
this could’ve happened with any shoe
A few months ago, I almost twisted my left ankle while playing basketball in my Nikes. I thought it was just me not running properly. Now, I understand why...
Get him some ZO2s
So he can sprain his ankles like lonzo?
If this young man can cause a 1% drop off for a companies stock price, that's incredibly lucrative. Just saying... NCAA doesn't want to pay players, they can figure a way to get paid as long as they don't get caught.
@Haks let's not forget Chris Webber
Only real Mofo's done had to hoop in Timb's b4!
Or them state boots..🤦🏾♂️
@@gumptown9276 😂
FadeAway Baby.
I was hoopin the shit out they ass in my work boots lol
Now I know why my ankle is all messed up, from twisting my ankles playing ball in Jordan.
I would sue Nike and retire at 19
Nike the creme de la creme of the footwear industry? You guys treat Nike as if it is your wife. And like Charles Barkley said: "Everybody thinks they married to a playboy bunny, most people married to rabbits. Nike is just a rabbit. And rabbit shoes occasionally tear.
@KamekoBruns You're right, forgotten. "Everybody thinks they married to a playboy bunny, most people married to rabbits."
He needa be wearing some lebrons
How he gonna wear LeBron's when the school has a Nike deal? Not a LeBron n Nike deal. Just a Nike deal. Besides, LeBron's are too fucking heavy. Niggas prefer light shoes
wolf Lebron‘s are Nike
@Joshua Johnson yea but that's LeBron's shoe. LeBron would have to make a deal with Duke as well in order for them to use his shoes.
@@wolf2109 Lebron shoes is Nike 😂 wtf
wolf nigga WHAT . The shoes that broke are Paul George’s which he is signed to Nike as well.
I can't believe im watching this...
Used to love Nike but once they started tearing with minimal usage, I switched to Adidas and Puma and haven't regretted that decision
"Believe in something....
Even if your shoes rip in half"
Get him some KDs oh wait they Nikes well get him LeBrons oh wait they Nikes get him some Big Baller Brands oh wait there not going to come in time
This is the 6th video on Zion this morning wtf espn😩😩
Ghost Kid111 i mean it’s the biggest story out so makes some sense
Kiddo its just the way it is. Stop crying. The guy is a freak of nature. Of course media will pay more attention to him than the last guy on the bench. If media covers the benchwarmers, people will complain how stupid the media is for not covering a Man child like Zion.
*Correction* 8th video. #8. lol.
Shane Gold It doesn’t make sense to make multiple videos. They should make one video and move on
@@drei9 no shit but they don't have to keep making videos only about him. You gotta share the media attention
This what happens when it's not American made
Arnold Perez
It was just cost twice as much with the same cheap material
My $180 air max did that and the worse I did in mine was weight train. The sole came right off. Been buying nothing but new balance since then and they are the best put together shoes I’ve ever owned.
Looks like someone at the factory said screw it I'm only getting paid pennies
Kanye West somewhere laughing 😂😁😀
What happened to made in the USA, stop outsourcing our jobs to China.
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.
Paul George sneakers are trash
Michael Miller you must of not watch the video
An isolated incident is incompetence, and incompetence starts at the top
I didn’t know Khalil Mack played college basketball still.
Zion needs some soldier 11s
Them LeBron shoes that are like boots he need timbs
More like soldier 12, very comfortable shoe
This is why I wear Adidas
Those D Rose Adidas are indestructible
Why? Because you bust out of shoes often?
This is also the reason ur a virgin
Tarus Morgan lol
Should’ve worn Adidas. Nike is a joke like BBB these days.
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..
