I would say that Nike definitely tests for lateral movement, etc.

Zion is a freak, it's very possible he wasn't in the right shoe for him. I stated on one of the other boards he should've at least probably been in a pair of Lebrons (if Nike couldn't have custom made a shoe for him yet). I'd almost guarantee that Duke has a specific Nike rep that comes in and fits each player etc. and I'd guarantee if a person does exist that they're nervous as hell right now.

I agree, if the price is right he'll sign with Nike, but they lost a lot of bargaining power last night. FYI, he wore Adidas in HS.

So I'm guessing that Zion Williamson WON'T be signing with Nike for his -- Late 80s Hokie 02/21/2019 07:32AM

Hate the auto company cuz you got in a wreck? ** -- BobG 02/21/2019 07:59AM

If it's because of a possible defect in the automobile...sure. -- vthokieq 02/21/2019 08:02AM

Exactly. It's not like Zion ran into someone and hurt his knee -- Late 80s Hokie 02/21/2019 08:07AM

I kinda think the torture put on the shoe at that angle, -- BobG 02/21/2019 08:18AM

^^Owns Nike stock^^ -- MP4VT2004 02/21/2019 12:41PM

I doubt the shoe's manual suggested that basketball moves by large players -- jmanatVT 02/21/2019 11:03AM

Just a defective shoe. They can't make them all perfectly at $0.02/hr. ** -- hoosnowahokie 02/21/2019 08:29AM

Disagree. Think of NBA guys. That's a lot to design for. -- 48zip 02/21/2019 08:22AM

Yeah, I disagree as well. I imagine those shoes aren't straight off the -- reestuart 02/21/2019 09:15AM

I would agree with @BobG a bit in that Zion probably stresses the shoe -- Late 80s Hokie 02/21/2019 08:45AM

Zion weighs more than the average NBA player. He’s 2nd heaviest if in NBA.** -- HokieHoopz 02/21/2019 09:06AM

That's a bit surprising to me. ** -- 48zip 02/21/2019 09:21AM

Does Zion get to choose which Nikes he wears? -- Dan1993 02/21/2019 09:04AM

I think Nike gives them a choice. Different people have different shape -- Hokie360 02/21/2019 10:48AM

As I stated below, I'm not sure Coach K allows as much freedom as others. -- vthokieq 02/21/2019 10:53AM

Pic from earlier this season. -- Hokie360 02/21/2019 1:20PM

Ok...now take a picture of our guys. ;-) -- vthokieq 02/21/2019 2:04PM

I don’t know what Coach K allows with regards to their contract. -- vthokieq 02/21/2019 09:09AM

Not sure he'll have that option now. -- EDGEMAN 02/21/2019 09:23AM

I don’t think so, he is free to choose I believe ** -- HokieHoopz 02/21/2019 09:07AM

Yep, that guy is out of a job -- EDGEMAN 02/21/2019 08:55AM

I agry. And in the NBA he chooses, not Duke. And $$$ will matter. ** -- 48zip 02/21/2019 08:48AM
