Didn't Steph Curry do the same? I think Olajun also had this happen with Spalding.

I'm not surprised it was some PGs that caused this. That shoe looks like it has next to no ankle support. That shoe is three ankle socks wearing a trenchcoat masquerading as a shoe.

Nike did my boy Paul George dirty

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.

Now is this was a scrub college ball player then this is a no story BUT this is the most hyped bball player since Bron, the face of college ball this season, the unanimous #1 pick in the upcoming draft, already a star, etc.. and your shoe explodes on a the national stage in a huge game. This is a huge disaster for Nike no ifs, ands, or buts about it. Not mention Puma and other companies jumping into the shoe market left and right taking a bite out of their sales. Need to dig up a few tweets but there's a lot of "Nike is focusing too much on marketing Kaep but yet their products are literally turning to shyt" statements left and right

You already know arms are being chopped off in a sweatshop somewhere

Again let it breathe before we start writing obits

it's an ugly look for Nike..no doubt. But it'll pass.

I'm surprised no one jumped at grabbing those shoes...they basically sat under a chair the whole game. Those will be worth a grip one day.

 

[Pazzy]

are nikes supposed to do that? Will my nikes explode from running on the treadmill so hard like how his did running down the court?

 

[ISO]

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

Barkley just said on TNT those was some old PG’s he had for months and said if you in the pros you should wear new sneakers often

 

[Kenny West]

Great time to buy in

 

[ORDER_66]

you can tell

them joints look beat

but i am sure new shoes are uncomfortable for son

pgs narrow built joints probably choking the fukk out his feet at first

reebok should sign bro to relaunch their hoops brand they had shaq in his prime they can build for a 300lb athlete
