I don't know if it's the shoes or if he's just injury prone.
I've had his older shoes and they feel like they're made out of cheap light weight material but most of Nikes shoes feel the same way.
I rather hoop in old school 90s or earlier 2000s shoes cause the material feel sooo much better and they actually feel like they are built to last and protect your feet.
Honestly if I was Rose I would get some Ektios but he's dead locked in that contract so he can't rock any other shoe brand which sucks.
all of these shoes are made by little chinese kids in a sweatshop
This isn't a new question and they don't have a good track record. Definitely something to it, didn't Wiggins sign with them?

Yes. He did. Adidas suck.

Oden is a big. They kinda don't count.
That article is interesting.
Especially when you take the amount of total nike wearers to addidas wearers.
WAY more players wear Nikes than addidas.
For all those addidas players to have significant injuries, it seems odd.
And that article was written in 2013. It's almost 2015.
Shoes do make a difference, not 100% positive if that's the case with DRose but the replay clearly shows his shoe giving away. I even thought for a moment that maybe it was a wet spot due to sweating but Patrick Ewing has long since retired
Doesn't his new shoes have that Bounce tech in them? I swear by that shit.
Players wore cloth converse for decades. Rondo and Westbrook both got hurt wearing Nikes. And so did Kobe Bryant. Injuries happen.
rose needs to wear nikes masked as adidas straight up.
He took something like a year and a half to come back from an acl tear. That's not about the shoe. In reality he's only had two major injuries. The situation had been magnified because he has a high profile, takes longer than the norm to return and has now made statements that are getting his toughness questioned on tv by retired stars.
Greg Oden and Andrew bynum
Edit: lol @ 'oden doesn't count', so just whatever fits your agenda then? My bad.
Lol at the loyalty some of you show these mega corporations that spend 5x more on marketing than they do on producing the actual shoes.

any legal team can get him out of it, all they have to do it put a lawsuit together to put Adidas at blame and Adidas will likely rescind the contract...however, DRose is reliant on that payday from Adidas towards his future seeing he may not last long in the NBA.
sticky situation...my guess is DRose will ride out with the Adidas deal, 11-12 more years to go in collecting the $185mil :banghead:
