[QUOTE=HurricaneKid]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.[/QUOTE]
I know lol. Both Adidas and Nike shoes are cheap pieces of garbage made by enslaved Chinese children. It's simply marketing. These shoes don't increase athletic performance and studies actually show that it leads to a higher injury rate because the thickness of the shoe bottoms encourage unnatural heel running

Honestly heel running happens more in distance running with shoes with a large heel to toe drop than it does in basketball shoes because often in basketball you're sprinting and on your toes already.

Enslaved children,?? Lol
The earth is round.
Can you call me ? I can sell your dumbass anything with 150% markup.
[QUOTE=TheMan]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[/QUOTE]
Lol @ the Ewing comment
[QUOTE=Undisputed]Do shoes seriously make that much of a difference? I would think these injuries happen regardless, but I'm no shoe expert.[/QUOTE]
They do, but people need a scapegoat.
Duncan is an Adidas athlete and look at his longevity. So was Garnett. Kobe never went through long term injuries until he signed with Nike.
KAJ, the posterboy for longevity. Adidas. Nuff said
Adidas Rose series are lighter, but they don't provide ankle supports. Just buy a retro shoes like Reebok Kamikaze, or the shoes that I previously used the Nike Air Quick Handle.
