    NIKE stock drops almost 2% after "shoegate"

    That Nike Adapt shoes story? It's a smaller story, but I'm sure you've been keeping up.
    Puma was the first to jump in
    on Nike in the immediate aftermath of the shoe drama. They soon deleted the tweet. But there's no doubt that the sole of a shoe blowing out for the #1 player in the country was a prominent product failure. The early word from Coach Mike Krzyzewski is that
    the injury is a mild knee sprain
    , which is great news. For those bots inclined to think only in terms of market shares, it also means less of a PR nightmare for Nike than if he had blown out his knee and been out for a lengthy period of time. Now, they can create a special Zion shoe to handle his freakish ability and market it to people who cannot leap out of the building like he can.

    Liz Dunn, founder and CEO of Pro4ma, joins "Squawk Box" by phone to give her analysis of how Nike stock will be affected by Duke basketball player Zion Williamson injury, which some are saying was a result of his Nike shoe coming apart.

    That image will be replayed every ad by a competitor for so long as Zion is relevant

    Dream for New balance, Reebok, Adidas, etc

    Plus Nike doubling down now w Kap jerseys

    Don't know many dad's gonna run out and put kids in the same shoes that are falling apart all over Cameron indoor...

    Don't know many moms gonna put kids in Jerseys promoting naysayers

    Goid thing that Vietnamese and Tawainese labor is still 50 cents per day!! Margin is all this company has....zero leadership, zero vision, zero future. It'll die profitably, but it's got major competitive deficiencies.

    The athletic shoes offered today are garbage...color, design and construction.
    If there were no advertising, hype and peer pressure involved an alert consumer
    would walk right past the shoes.
    Buying the hyped athletic shoes is as uncool as smoking cigarettes. IMHO

    Stephen A. Smith, Max Kellerman and Will Cain debate how much responsibility Nike should take for Zion Williamson's injury, which came after blowing through his shoe in the first half of Duke's game against UNC. Kellerman and Stephen A. acknowledge that the injury is a bad look for Nike, but Cain says that the injury had less to do with Nike and more to do with Zion's unique physique.

    Nike will still sign him after he's done at Duke

    think of the commercial campaign

    "There's never been a player like this, he's made us go back to the drawing boards and create the the monster shoe to keep up with his monster strength and performance"

    They'll have scenes of Zion doing Rocky 4/Drago like training and ergometric testing with all the scientists observing and tapping into ipads as they build a bigger shoe.


    buy on the dips folks

    We all know that you are praying for Nike to fail because you have a personal fetish.
    How many kids are athletic freaks that can blow out a tennis shoe? 0.0001 %

    In case you've been living on another planet. Nike shoes and apparel have increased two-fold after the Kap ads. Just do it!

    Most of the Nike haters don't have 2 wooden nickels to invest. Look at how so many of them here at SBR was calling for Nike to crash after the Kaep commercials, while the stock has gone up 20% ever since.

    How many people remember when the NBA banned the Air Jordan? People thought NKE stock would have plummeted back then as a result. What did Nike do? Create a marketing avalanche promoting that the shoe was so good that it was outlawed. I know I bought 2 pair that same week.

    Nike will be fine and make a zillion dollars when they sign him and he's a huge star
