Nike's stock falls after Duke star is hurt as his sneaker comes apart
Anybody see this bizarre scene last night? A minute into the biggest hoops game of the year the biggest star in the college game goes out with a knee injury caused by his Nike shoe falling apart when he makes a cut.

Nike is playing damage control after Duke basketball phenom Zion Williamson tore his sneaker in a game Wednesday evening.

Nike's (NKE) stock was down more than 1% on Thursday. Nike builds its reputation around creating premier shoes and clothes for athletes, but that image took a hit with Williamson's sneaker snafu.

Analysts attributed the stock move to Williamson, the presumptive top pick in this year's NBA draft and the hottest prospect since LeBron James entered the draft from high school more than a decade ago. Within the first minute of Duke's blockbuster matchup against rival North Carolina on Wednesday, one of Williamson's Nike PG2.5 shoes split apart.

Williamson left the game with a knee injury. Former President Barack Obama was sitting courtside, and clips of Williamson breaking his shoe and Obama pointing to it immediately went viral.





Nike, which exclusively supplies Duke's basketball team with uniforms, shoes and gear, quickly released a statement.
"The quality and performance of our products are of utmost importance," the company said. "While this is an isolated occurrence, we are working to identify the issue."

Don’t really care about basketball because I’m over 20 and white but that’s funny, Nike’s are made by children in 3rd world countries who get paid next to nothing.

My dad of all people told me about this story.

I don’t know anything about the kid other than he is a BAMF. But that sucks for the kid.

Nike sucks
Duke sucks
The kid might suck but he may not.

It appears he wore these shoes more than any other pair this season. They are a fairly cheap shoe, and not made to take long term high impact usage. He should have switched up or gotten a new pair.

Mahomes' best move so far appears to be donning Adidas.

That’s a lot of torque to rip yourself out of your shoe.

Nike's top of the line hoops shoes aren't made to take high impact usage for more than a game or two? Is that what you're saying?
They certainly wouldn't want that to get out.

I think we need to have an investigation.

Nike promises to investigate why Duke star Zion Williamson's shoe fell apart resulting in injury

I wonder if the conclusion of Nike's investigation will be that they make overpriced shit?
