Do Nike basketball shoes cause Achilles injuries?

Hell, I can believe it.  At 15, I was an experienced distance competitive swimmer.  Coach also sent us outside to run around the track (barefoot, run on the grass, in speedos, and we did it until he got tired.  I beat our varsity miler.  Later on, at 19, with no training, a 5-mile run at a 5:30 clip was a walk in the park.  In combat boots.  Again, no training just a black hat who screamed at you until you could do it.
