He said Jose signed a shoe deal with some Japanese company last season and since then he has a stress fracture and these ankle injuries. Jose team has to look into this because this is giving me Lonzo and Big Baller Brand vibes.

It shouldn’t make me laugh but it did. I only wear nikes myself and professional players wearing no name shoes on a NBA court is kind of crazy.

It's actually Chinese company called Peak.

At first when I read Japanese company from your post, I thought it was strange since Japanese people take tremendous pride in their craftsmanship and design.

Yea... When it comes to shoes, never trust a Chinese company.

Nike is an American company using Chinese child labor lol. Meanwhile a shoe company based solely on Japan- thats scary for your feet.

Made in China vs designed by China are two totally different things.

I heard that. That was not a very good advertisement for the shoe company.

Zion is a freak man come on. The sheer force of him stopping like that was something no shoe company could prepare for. Now making shoes for barely 6 foot Jose should not be an issue lol

Didn’t Zion have trouble at Duke with his Nike shoes kept blowing out the sides?

Yeah that is a good point. They also had never made a basketball shoe before.

Nike is all branding around poorly constructed shoes.

Don't hurt yourself carrying all that hyperbole around.

Nike literally had to specially engineer a shoe for him because of the force he pushes off with
