Paige gets a Nike GT Hustle 3 Player Edition style. Super pumped for her, this is great! I wonder when she would wear it; knowing that they are only allowed to wear red, white and blue shoes on court. Needless to say, this is epic!

I stepped away from anything Nike over a decade ago because of Nike's labor practices and to the best of my knowledge, though they have widened their Far Eastern sources, they are still hard at it. Yeah, I'm a killjoy.
 
I haven’t worn a basketball shoe in a couple decades. It’s all running shoes now. But in those days, I didn’t like Nikes because they tended to pinch my feet at the flex point. Converse fit me better.
 
One thing I noticed with player shoes - they never make wide width. I've been begging Puma so I can get a pair of Stewie's shoes.
I haven't checked Sabrina's.

I believe the shoes retail for $190 a pair. Dad’s everywhere are going to have to dig a little deeper to buy shoes for their little girls. ;)

Or their little sons. Ionescu's shoe is popular with both genders from what I've seen in watching some high school games recently. Wouldn't be surprised if Bueckers getting a similar response once these shoes hit the market.

Yes, Nikes were too stiff and they never really fit my forefoot.

I expect her to get the Caitlin response from that crew.

How does that relate to this thread when we're talking about shoes?

Regardless, I think you're getting ahead of yourself as to what may or may not happen to Bueckers when she finally gets drafted.

An expectation is a conjecture about the future and judging by the recent past a shoe for a "rookie" is not well received. It relates to the shoe. Just let me know your guard rails and I'll try to stay inside them. What may or may not happen is pretty much the grist of sports chat. We are always getting ahead of ourselves, whether it be will we get X recruit or how will we match up against Notre Dame or USC. That and what just happened in the sport.

This is interesting because the whole "league resents Clark" still comes across as social media hype than actual reality to me. Everyone will have their opinion based on how they perceive things. My perception is that most of it is bunk and that Taurasi's comments were taken out of context more than they should have been.

It's no different than these "WNBA" pages on FB and social media making erroneous claims that Clark was dropped by Nike, she's signing with Adidas for insane numbers, etc. This has taken on a life of its own due to trolls who want to drive engagement to their "sites" that were recently created, have no long term credibility in the sport and could be a home for malware that attack our devices.

It's not a matter of guardrails for me but understanding what you actually meant. It's taken two replies to get the full context of your perspective regarding your orginal comment.

I think it's too soon to say anything as to how Bueckers will or won't be treated. You see things differently. That's how the world works.

Interesting @GoUconn7961 . You'd figure big people, big wide feet. Hoka, which is big in outdoor long distance and trail, has a few wide and xtrawide but maybe 95 or more % are just regular. Age has put me in xwide, so when I buy I buy two and pray they don't forget us.

It is incredible what social media will put out for clicks. No shame at all. As far as the "league resents Clark" and "social media hype" I suspect it is a mix. Watching the summer go by I was disturbed by the lack of support she had when attacked.
 
People complain about gas prices, electric bills and food prices. The profit margin for these entities are not even close to what people pay for a pair of sneakers. We used to call them "tennis shoes" and bought them at the Army and Navy store for two dollars. Neither the price of the material used or the rubber has increased drastically. Yet people continue to buy them and corporates like Nike continue to jack up the prices while still using child labor to go along with slave labor wages. The next time you go out and buy a pair of sneakers for two hundred dollars make a vow to never again in your life complain about price gouging.

Rocky, you have posted the most logical paragraph I've seen on here in a long time. You are not a killjoy, you, sir, are a realist.

I had foot surgery so I need a wide now. The only ones that work for me are Hoka Bondhi 8. I have two pair.
