[Canary42]

Not very good publicity. Beware Nike.

That's crazy. Presumably it wasn't one of their cheaper pairs either.

[spathiphyllum]

Ohh dear that is not good for looks ay.

I mean maybe this was a one off or maybe the entire range of that shoe are flawed.

[Spicerack]

Sabotage?

[spathiphyllum]

sabtoecharge?

[youngmafbog]

Very odd.

[douglas9401]

Part of the Zionist conspiracy?

[agchristie]

Whoever designed that shoe is a 'basket case'.

Poor net profits in the offing...

[JF85]

Sabotage? More likely he was clogged.

[Spicerack]

^Somebody 'gets it'.

Could extend the punning into the political arena.

And there was (VE a very young kid) a Schuman Plan, wasn't there? That'll put a tear on your and my eye, won't it, Spicerack? No socks, we're British say I.

I think all sports footwear is garbage and deliberately not made to last. On top of that, the price of some of them is outrageous. Put some fancy colours in them when they're being made and tell everyone how good they are, and everyone belives it.

i once bought a new pair of golf shoes that fell apart on the third hole ... according to the manufacturers it was a one off ...

[rowanwitch]

There will be a statement saying it was the work of a disgruntled employee who deliberately damaged or mis- crafted the shoe, the image repair process will begin, donations of sportswear to poor kids, maybe a few basketball courts to be opened by the player concerned, every one happy. Crisis managed.
