Nike experiences marketing disaster as Zion Williamson sprains knee/shoe blows out. Shares down 2%

Disaster is a tad hyperbolic

No it's not. This was a high-profile game. Good seats were going for $2500. This happened 33 seconds into the game

Let’s give it more than 24 hours before we label it a disaster family. A conglomerate like Nike doesn’t fall on such a singular incident.

The PG 3’s are good sneakers. They were made for Paul George who is a slender swingman not a 285 lb. hyperathletic power forward like Zion.

Why y’all think Kobe had light, low top sneakers for much of his career while LBJ had bulkier, midtops.

Look at Tim Duncan’s Foamposites and KG’s Flightposites. The sneakers you wear should match your game and body.

I think people being too hard on Nike.

Zion is not regular, bro weighs 285 lb. and generated enough force to destroy a sneaker. The other day he was denting a basketball out somebodies hands. Who is to say this wouldn’t happen with another brand. He would be breaking rims all the time before the breakaway. Like I said he shouldn’t be wearing PG’s.

BBB dont rip on the court

they rip management and coaches

They've been shytty since they stopped using leather and went for cheap mesh and bullshyt composites..

Preach. And don't get me started with them getting rid of tongues (making slippers!) and using rings off of the shoe to thread laces (break after 3 mos) vs using plain old holes.

Pretty karmaic if you ask me

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

So really it was a built in safety measure
