Nike says it’s investigating why Duke freshman Zion Williamson split a shoe open during a game against rival North Carolina. But the sportswear giant says it’s an “isolated occurrence.”
The Beaverton, Oregon-based company says it’s concerned and says quality and performance of its products are of “utmost importance.”
The shoe malfunction, which forced Williamson to leave the game with a knee sprain, happened in front of a crowd of celebrities, including former President Barack Obama and Spike Lee.

I guess the 7 year old Indonesian girl who earned $2 making that shoe will be beaten for her mistake.
Forced laborers in Soviet gulags would deliberately sabotage the products they were making to embarrass their oppressors and deny them income from future exports.
Just sayin’.
I’d have preferred this to have occurred with the Fraud watching more than any US President.
I have never seen a new, or relatively new shoe just give out like that, the entire seam just gave way...
NIKE, Just destroy your career..
Nike gets the exact quality it deserves because it uses slave labor.
No one should buy their chitty choose.
Terminate their team sponsorship FOR CAUSE .
I posted shortly after the incident, that i guaranteed NIKE execs were figuring out their spin already....
Taking out the expected number one overall draft pick because your shoe literally just obliterated itself on a simple foot plant....
An isolated occurrence or fake occurrence.
Yep....great optics....spectacular fraud former ‘President’ witnesses spectacular fraud shoe blowout.
Can’t make this stuff up :)
“...former President Barack Obama and Spike Lee...”
But who were the “celebrities”??????
Their competitor’s ads......
“Our shoes don’t explode!”
I don’t buy Nike because of the price. I did not know they used slave labor.
LOL, sounds like the kind of thing the folks in the movie "Crazy People" would have come up with.
Isn’t Nike based in Oregon?
Isn’t Oregon one of the worst states for business? Why do they stick around?
This shoe malfunction may be a symptom of a greater problem....
Here are just a few of their recent ‘brilliant’ moves, by Nike’s HQ state...
Oregon set to become 1st state with mandatory rent controls
Oregon lawmakers seek to lower voting age in state to 16, so teens can ‘protect their future’
Oregon Democrats introduce statewide socialized medicine legislation.
Oregon Democrats introduce bill to protect criminal illegal aliens
The hits just keep coming, with this Socialist state. Geez.
Run, Nike, run!
My only question in this is: Did UNCheat have any players participating in the game that actually now attend their classes?
