Reebok has stated that the newly-developed Zig technology is the ‘energy drink for your feet’. However, with the recent injury-riddled first half of the season John Wall has had, some are starting to question Reebok’s new development (although you cannot 100% blame the shoe for Wall’s injuries). According to Kobe Bryant, Wall can rid himself of the injuries if he just switched brands.
Michael Lee, a reporter for the Washington Post, recently tweeted a few words of advice Bryant gave Wall in regards to his recent injuries: ‘Buy Nikes’. Wall, of course, is the lead endorser of Reebok’s new basketball sneaker, the Reebok Zig Slash. So far, this shoe has been well-received by consumers thanks to its unlimited colorways and intriguing Zig sole. Yet, does its performance capabilities match its design cues?
This is not the first time sneakers have taken the blame for injuries. If you recall, the Detroit Pistons equipment manager blamed the Nike Hyperize for the ankle injuries of many of the players including Charlie Villauenva last year. Also, Lakers coach Phil Jackson blamed Ron Artest’s selection of footwear (PEAK) for his ankle/foot injuries. Let us know your thoughts on this subject matter in the comment section below!
