On the evening of February 22 (US time), the match between Duke and North Calorina basketball teams took place. This is a match within the framework of the US universities basketball season, welcomed by many people.
Many famous figures including former President Trump, Spike Lee... were also present to watch this match live.
However, this is probably a misfortune for the prestigious sports shoe company Nike when the Nike PG 2.5 shoes of athlete Zion Williamson suddenly exploded.
Specifically, the young star of Duke Blue Devils tried to dribble the ball from the left wing, he suddenly stopped and turned his back when suddenly the left shoe of the Nike PG 2.5 "plot" suddenly exploded, exposing the 18-year-old player's feet.
According to B.I, Zion was struggling in pain, so he quickly took a walk off the field to return to the dressing room. Just a moment ago, a notice said Zion would not return to the field due to injury.
Mike Krzyzewski, coach of Duke Blue Devils, said that Zion had a knee injury and he could not answer about the recovery time. Even sadder, Duke lost to North Carolina with a score of 72 - 88.
As many people predicted, supermarket giant Nike's stock has fallen as much as 1.67%, with a evaporated market value of 3 billion USD overnight. Worse, in the past 5 days, the company's stock price has tended to decrease continuously and is currently at -1.1%.
Immediately after that, USA Today released more unfavorable information to Nike about the company's Adapt BB smart sneakers: "Just a few days after the $350 smart self-tipped shoes were released, users are now reporting that they cannot connect both of their shoes with the Nike Adapt app, meaning they cannot use them to tighten their shoes."
A representative of Nike responded to the incident on ESPN: "We are clearly interested and want Zion to recover quickly. The quality and performance of our products are extremely important. We are urgently determining the cause."
