Everyone remembers the game where Zion Williamson broke through a pair of Nike PG 2.5s during his tenure at Duke. This incident resulted in a minor ankle injury, which required Williamson to miss some time. It was a public relations disaster for Nike, especially because they were expecting to sign Zion once he got to the NBA. Nike had to perform damage control for months, as well as modify the way their shoes were made.
The shoe appears to be on the other foot now, rather literally. With Nike, Zion has his own trademark footwear line, and his debut model, the Jordan Zion 1, is already being worn by NBA hopefuls during Summer League.
In an unlucky turn of circumstances, Lakers rookie Chaundee Brown was wearing his Jordan Zion 1s when he broke right through the toe. Despite the fact that there appeared to be material all over the area, the player continued to play despite the mishap. In any case, fans observed that this was, indeed, a Zion sneaker, which is hilarious given all that has transpired in the last several years.
Of all, these athletes are large and muscular, so such mishaps are going to happen every now and again.
