Nike shoes suck. Unless you're getting paid to wear them, smart athletes don't.

I've been wearing Chuck Taylor's for years and haven't played in years.

Can't speak for basketball or football, didn't play it competitively. But there sure seem to be a lot more broken feet since Nike became the shoes most teams wear.
I was a runner, about 2,000 miles a year, ran a 36-minute 10K in my prime. Saucony, New Balance and Brooks for training, Adidas Oregon flats for competition, the best racing shoes ever made. No one I knew would touch Nikes, guaranteed foot injury or plantar fasciitis.
Maybe it was my high arches. But as always, other's mileage may vary.

I’ve played a lot of basketball over the years. Definitely not as explosive as a professional athlete. I’ve always worn nikes because they felt the best on my narrow, flattish feet. Never had any foot issues but I did finally tear my Achilles two years ago. Maybe the shoes contributed. Is there a lawsuit I can get in on? Haha

I know you probably have a similar game. That wasn’t the question...but OK Funny that Baseballichek likes your post since he wears Nike shoes and Nike sweatshirts with the arms cut off to show off his guns. |

No one I knew would touch Nikes, guaranteed foot injury or plantar fasciitis. Maybe it was my high arches. But as always, other's mileage may vary. I ran 10.5 miles (around the old CHS track) in 56 minutes the day before my first cross-country practice (sophomore year) in low-cut Chuck Taylors. The only time I ever experienced such a degree of "runner's high." Felt totally effortless. Everything (running form, breathing,etc.) was in perfect synch. I could've gone the same pace for at least another 5 miles but my curfew was at 11pm. I was just a touch sore the following day, though (to put it mildly), I had run 7 miles one time before that (9th grade). Other than that the furthest had probably been two miles. Sorry, I’m still waiting for the punchline... |

Are you sure it wasn't the old intramural track? You know the one where five laps equal one mile. Back in the day I could knock a few successive 60 second laps on that and wished it was on a regular loop. |

Twenty laps. I felt so good after 20 I thought why not 30. Still felt amazing and went for a full 40. It was 1/4 mile from my house to the track (itself) ... and 1/4 mile back.  Achilles cause Achilles injuries. The transition from lateral movement to frontward movement is awkward. Long tendon strength comes from freedom of motion but since shoes are part of the game they get in the way. But Chuck Taylors... |

Just to be clear you want us to believe that as an untrained 15 year old you ran 10 miles at a sub 5:30/mile pace? |
