Re: Breakdown of the dangerous/cursed Adidas Rose....
Notice the feet and the ankle don't give and there is no movement to release the energy of impact so it worked it's way up to the knees.

Notice Ware's feet don't give and the shoes just stick to the floor while putting tension and energy up Ware's leg. The shoe is the main culprit again due to traction. Modern shoes are not suppose to have these kind of traction. Adidas should have put more effort in designing how players land and where do they land the most. A rolled ankle is better than a blown out leg.

The heel region definitely looks suspect.
Most shoes don't go inward in the heel area like that. They actually flare out a bit like the Kobe's.

Pretty much agree about the heel since it's like your heel is sitting up on a pedestal but we don't know if it sits down below the sole or not. I think it may fit low and snug and prevents motion.
You're pretty much landing flat footed in them.

It can't just be a coincidence that every Adidas athlete gets hurt from knees down.

Re: Breakdown of the dangerous/cursed Adidas Rose....
I'm starting to question whether I should even wear adidas Superstars for everyday casual walking. Am I doing my legs damage by rocking these?

Love the style but I don't rock any shoes that make you flat footed. I believe those are built like Chuck Taylor's. I love my Chuck's but they make your feet hurt due to lack of support.
Jack Purcell's may be the alternative. They look like Chuck's but gives you that support.

Rose was wearing a different shoe when he got hurt.
Notice the feet and the ankle don't give and there is no movement to release the energy of impact so it worked it's way up to the knees.
Release the impact? It's either the impact goes to your ankles or knee. There is no way for the force to go away.
Not to mention a lot of athletes have their ankles taped to prevent rolls. I guess that's a death trap too.
As for the traction... i didn't know too much traction was bad for you. Could be the case though. But it was an accident. Nothing you can do about that.
If you think its the shoe's problem, then why are Mike Conley, Tony Allen, Damian Lillard not having problems wearing them?
Also, your Nike bias might be forgetting some lessons from the past...

Yes, releasing the impact. Impact and pressure goes upward. Your shoes should be able to absorb the impact and as it moves up it gradually lessens.
There are 3 main critical parts in your leg: ankles, knees and hip.
The shoes were built or designed improperly that it caused both Rose and Ware to only play with 2 critical parts above the ankle. The shoes basically eliminated any leg support besides the ankles. It forced the most on the knees and the area between the ankle and knee, in Ware's case.
The shoes basically turned their legs into knees and hip. So they are essentially playing with two parts. Something had to snap
and no surprise where too.
Both blowing out the same regions of their leg.
BTW...I think Nike's are overpriced and this is coming from a guy that thinks buying $500 shoes is okay. I only buy Nike's from outlets.

Re: Breakdown of the dangerous/cursed Adidas Rose....
Why don't you make a list of all the lower body injuries and shoes that were worn. Then you'll see that the shoe has nothing to do with it in any case. 0%, zero. The player that wears the shoe, wears it and knows the shoe. They LIKE the shoe because it matches their needs. Now, contact, athleticism, playing full speed, yeah, that has an impact on injury.

Yes, the players wear the shoes. They wear it to match their needs and strengths but they will also neglect their weakness.
These are suppose to be performance shoes for superior athletes and I think shoe companies should take that into account.

Ohh durr.. yer right. The billions that have gone into this shoe science, and you've gotten it all figured out.
Maybe you should work for Adidas? Tell them your brilliant ideas. Tell them ISH sent you.

I believe there is such a thing as foot science but the guys at Adidas are more designers than scientists.
They really need to hire real scientist.
