He was wearing a pair of Nike’s Kaepernick Ultra Kneelers when all hell broke loose.
Trump curse.
Obama: His shoe broke.
Ironically, after embracing ‘take a knee’ Kaepernick, Nike took this guys knee.
Mild knee sprain.
Kentucky’s Reid Travis suffered a similar injury against Missouri last night.
I just watched (MOST) of the UNC victory! Saw Williamson fall. Didn’t know he tore out of his Nike shoe so thanks for that info. Even with him out, it was a GREAT victory for the Tar Heels because Duke is a great team even without Williamson.... and it was made even sweeter by the fact that Obama’s presence was a JINX!
Grrr - ESPN stopped broadcasting here after the start of the second half. I didn’t know but it was also supposed to be on WRAL - local station - but when I finally learned that and turned the channel to WRAL, the screen was black for that channel too! GRRR.
I had the radio on the UNC station so I got to HEAR the rest of the game there. As of now, WRAL and ESPN are still blacked out. Anybody else have this situation?
Why did that kid play at Duke for nothing when it made economic sense for him to play professionally for beaucoup bucks. Should have played in Europe if self serving NBA rules prevented him from joining the league out of high school or middle school for that matter. He should sue the NBA if its rules specifically prevented teams from signing him.
I had a pair of Nike running shoes do the same thing last year. The tread peeled off in pieces from the midsoles, and then the midsoles started separating from the uppers on both shoes. I wound up throwing them away after only a month of regular use. I’d never had running shoes fall apart like that. The glue they used was not doing its job. I won’t buy another pair of Nike.
Zion Williamson is a good player.
This is very sad, a huge problem for Duke’s title hopes.
Interesting. I wonder if they’ll examine the shoe to determine whether it was a genuine Nike product or not.
Get woke, go broke.
Gee, my $12 Walmart running shoes can do that trick. But I bond them back with Shoe Goop and they last another year or so.
Found out it was Spectrum who had the ESPN outage!!!

I will not forgive Spectrum for this outage of such a great win for my Tar Heels.
At least I had the radio...but it was not the same.
Nike is for losers.
Just don’t do it.
Damn Vietnamese. You just can’t depend on quality slave labor anymore.
Just Blew It.
After what Nike pulled ala Kaepernick, it’s obvious it’s not run by responsible adults so it’s going to come through in the end product.
Cheap Chi-Com labor sold for top dollar? Has hidden costs.
the anointed one was even there.
nike, who is sponsoring Williamson, was showcasing their product.
And then the unthinkable happened.
the nike shoe blew out. it literally fell apart as did the big night espn had hyped.
The Obama jinx.
Should have been sitting behind one of his buds, Roy Williams, not repub Coach K.
Puma supposedly immediately tweeted it wouldn’t have happened with their shoes and later deleted the tweet.
Talk about taking it to the competition. HA
I was never a fan of Nike always felt more comfortable in Puma or New Balance. I’ve heard, as others mentioned here, that their quality has gone to crap.
