the shoes ripping is a blessing in disguise

all that weight shifting could have went straight into his foot ankle knee hip etcetera

the shoe is fine he just has to learn all the fly sleek looking kicks are not for him

son is 285lbs. he better call shaq & get some bricks made for his feet

Got these kids ballin in Nike bottom of the barrel stock shoes with all the money these colleges makin off them

Nike bout to set him up with shoes for life

If i'm Under Armour i'm chomping at the bit to make a commercial out of this asap

I bet his whole family had a heart attack as they watched him go down last night

He's one and done anyway so yea i think he will come back for the tourney just because it's a one time experience and they are favored to win it all.

Yall dont hoop...these dudes dont play in new shoes every game...

U gota break in shoes in hoop in them for a while..them shyt exploded hes 285 tryna do sharp ass cuts in a guard shoe

Wear lebrons

 

[Sterling Archer]

Nike needs to design an entirely new shoe and give to Zion to hoop in and drop the homologation rule for him. Not only will that save their image, it will also be a prototype to the shoe that will be his signature line once he declares. Not signing Zion to Nike will be an even bigger image blow than this because itll seem like his decision to take a deal with Adidas or somebody will be because of Nike's quality.

This is kind of the first thing I thought. The force dissipated into ripping his shoe could have gone into blowing out a ligament or his ankle if the shoe resisted.

this aint gonna do shyt to nike

It kind of drastically ruins their ability to land the possible next generation phenom. If Zion does become the next heir apparent to the LeBron's, Kobe's, Jordans, etc this could hurt them.

Talk about crazy moment in sports.

Like some Hollywood script.

Uniquely athletic ball player with everything going right, on the path in his Freshmen year to get #1 draft picked, has freak accident with his shoes in front of the former POTUS at the biggest rivalry college basketball game, where people are paying Superbowl ticket prices to see him play.

This is literally a script

He shoulda been in LeBrons like the Soldier 11 or something durable and with straps for real. If he want Adidas then maybe the D.Rose or ProBounce shoes but breh needs ankle support with moving that bodyweight.

Brehs talking about this don't happen

Y'all saw how Nike jerseys were ripping before

To be fair. Most stocks are down today
