Yesterday in the US NCAA game, the University of North Carolina defeated Duke 88-72, and Zion Williamson, the popular candidate for NBA No. 1 pick, was injured in his knee in the game after only 34 seconds of playing in the game, and he had no choice but to leave the game. This change caused an uproar. Nike, the sports shoes brand worn by Zion, was immediately affected. Not only did basketball fans begin to question the quality of the shoes, but the stock market also responded immediately. Within ten minutes after the opening, Nike's stock price fell by about 1%, evaporating over one billion US dollars. Regarding the sneaker incident, Nike officially stated that it is investigating the situation. It is rare to wear sneakers. For a brand known for sports products, such serious quality problems should not be a common situation, but Nike's quality control does need to be paid attention to.
Nike's quality problem is not the first time it has appeared in people's vision, but such a critical moment is the first time. Many fans said that Paul George is tall and thin in size, and there is no problem choosing PG 2.5 according to his forward position. Zion is too heavy and plays inside. He should choose James shoes to be more suitable for him. Playing basketball itself is very consuming. Basketball shoes are not just about holding your feet, but also need to provide support, protect your ankle, increase friction and other functions. Different styles of shoes will have different tendencies. Players need to choose sneakers according to their own characteristics and needs.
Directors during Duke University's admission physical examination showed that Zion Williamson was 2.04 meters tall and weighed nearly 129 kilograms. He was an absolute heavy tank, even heavier than the early O'Neal. With such a body, he still dunks against the sky and jumps amazingly on the court. Some people even commented that Zion had done almost all the capable work on the court.
Such an amazing potential and has attracted much attention from the star of tomorrow, but was injured for such nonsensical reasons. No wonder the outside world responded so much. It is reported that the shoes Zion wore on the court at that time were NIKE PG 2.5, which was a signature shoe of NBA star Paul George . It was released globally in early December 2018, and the price in China is 848 yuan.
When you put on the sneakers as soon as you came on the court, it must be that the quality is not up to standard, and this is not enough. You can see on Weibo that many users are complaining about the quality of the shoes, believing that Nike's price is relatively high but the actual quality is not high. Some people said that their pairs of Nike shoes were damaged quickly, and in comparison, other brands performed much better. In addition to quality issues, Nike's after-sales service has also been criticized. Some media reported that consumers lost air air cushion the next day after buying Nike's shoes, but Nike said they would not repair it and return it.
Overall, the situation of wearing bad sneakers is just an isolated case. There are both quality problems with the sneakers and Zion's luck. I just hope Zion can recover as soon as possible and will not affect future performance. And Nike also needs to come up with a satisfactory answer as soon as possible, otherwise I'm sorry for the billion dollars they evaporated.
