I guess the 7 year old Indonesian girl who earned $2 making that shoe will be beaten for her mistake.

But the sportswear giant says it’s an “isolated occurrence.”

An isolated occurrence that happened in one of the biggest NCAA games of the year, to the biggest college basketball player in the nation. With an ex-president watching. Way to go, Nike - might want to give those poor Indonesian kids who assemble your shoes a little more glue to work with.

I bought one pair of genuine Nike cross training shoes for my work (long story,) and they are the lightest shoes I've ever owned. I can see how they could tear or blow out if put under the stress of a professional athlete.

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 .

Hmmm, what famous basketball player is associated with Nike's most popular basketball shoe.

And where did said basketball player play his college ball?

Coinkidink?!?!?!

My only question in this is: Did UNCheat have any players participating in the game that actually now attend their classes?

ESPN was totally hyping the fact that Obama was at the game last night, and acting as if the entire country was excited about this. So happy the game was ruined within the first minute LOL.

I would not be surprised if that asshat Roy Williams had his people sabotage Zion’s shoe somehow.

Nike lowered its performance stands because they can’t support overly masculine athletes. Toxic masculinity you know.

In the 45 years I have either run or walked I am not sure I have ever bought a pair of Nike shoes, don’t think so. Most of the time I bought and have worn New Balance, at times I haven even had Brooks shoes.

Pretty much have been a loyal New Balance customer, they are made in the USA by the way. The last two pairs of New Balance shoes I have had I walked approximately 800 and 600 miles in them and definitely got my money’s worth out of them.

If I were Zion I would switch shoes and get some real quality ones.

Zion Williamson may have to learn to wear the basketball shoes designed for one LeBron James—I’ve seen those shoes and they’re built like tanks.
