i had some 40 dollar sketcher steel toe boots slowly taking me out . didnt know what was going on. started at my lower back then my whole back then knees and shins and then feet. i could hardly walk PERIOD and had worked 40hrs of standing a week. when i got some real boots everything started returning to normal. it was crazy.
@@ChutneyInc. That's a supposition one of the worst. You are not a doctor you did not examine him. Have you taken that shoe apart and see exactly how it's made.
@1990758 are you telling me that i cant prove that those boots where hurting me from my back to my toes? Even tho the evidence is the immediate relief and full recovery after switching to better quality boots? im only suggesting that if anyone starts feeling new pain rather it be in their knees, feet, legs, hips, pelvic area and/or back consider if its caused by a new pair of shoes. Im not talking about Lonzo Ball's feet, he the one who said those shoes sucked! which is why i followed up with my advice to all.
Im not claiming to be a Doctor since someone wants to reply to my comment all ignorant and stuff. and Im not telling anyone to do anything to hurt them self. im only bringing to light that not every shoe is for everyone especially for work. for example steel toe boots and shoes, anyone that wears steel toes for 40+ hours a week know how hard it is to find the best for you, because they all suck almost. But if u are feeling pain in your body just from walking? did you get new shoes or boots around the time that the pain began.
It's amazing how calm he is about those shoes. even if he had gotten hurt wearing Nike or Adidas or another top brand he still would have been part of the company and made a large amount of money. And even if no basketball he still could have been linked to the company in some way considering all the buzz he had. I mean the league took a hit also and the team's he plays for. I am going to assume that in the future teams will require you to have a certain shoe for you to be able to play
That's messed up. Some kids bought those shoes. He should have learned from Kobe's approach: be involved, attention to detail and make sure it's the best possible performing shoe. They just wanted to sell signature shoes. Stick Kobe shoes, folks 😂
His father , plain and simple ! He put some much pressure on him telling people who he’ll play for and he’s better than MJ , damn his pops screwed his career up , sure he might get something for a T shirt but he won’t never amount to anything because of his father ! That’s why Melo is shining because dad is to busy destroying Alonso’s career
@@1990758and why do you say that? do you not know that badly made shoes have a serious impact on your posture and leg stability? the ironic part is that the doctor would probably disagree with YOUR opinion. educate yourself
I believe it. I had never had an injury for years til I constantly wore some bad shoes made of crap material and that’s when I started getting injuries in my legs and back…not gonna name the shoe because I won’t hear the end of it from the player’s fan girls 😂
I love what Lavar was doing but that’s why collaborating is important and developing partnerships…they probably could of made that deal with Nike and negotiated a bigger percentage to Lonzo plus would of had a solid shoe. This also left Zo damaged
It makes me think when he did quick stops he could feel his toes hitting the shoe that shit hurt and if u feel ur shoes always gon go out then u can't play comfortably so it's understandable.
Lavar Ball was out of his depth with shoe fundamentals. He did great marketing, but he overlooked science and mechanics of shoes. It caused his son's injuries.
He literally should've got a real shoe deal. Steph curry since he been with under Armour when he twisted or turned his ankle his shoes protect his ankles which were his major problem in early yrs. They snap his foot and ankle back to the proper position up and down and there's so sturdy around the ankle even the high ankle that it holds the foot in the best place to keep yourself able to play through a small twist . Lonzo ball was supposed to be Trae young mixed with Tyrese Haliburton. Avg 20+ppg 5+rb 10+asts and 40% from 3pt . Or he's a 3pt version of Shaun Livingston
Yet he wore the ZO2’s when he was with the Lakers. His major injury happened when he was playing with Chicago in which he has been wearing Nikes the full time he has been with the Bulls. It’s crazy how clickbait works
Mr smart ass, playing in the zo2s probably caused tears and strains in his legs over time. Compromising the integrity of his ligaments, joints etc. By the time he stepped into the nikes it was too late. Just like mcgregor was causing damage to his leg by not training with leg gear. It all built up to the point where all he had to do was step back on his foot, and it snapped. Its not a in the moment thing. Its a slow build up of constant damage to that point something snaps, breaks, goes wrong.
@@user-tc8of7mu7b bro he only wore the ZO2’s for 2 games in the 2017 Lakers summer league before he switched to the Kobe’s. Clickbait got you bugging and being a fake doctor. Talking about it ‘probably’ caused damage over time. He ain’t even wear them for more than a week 😂😂😂
@@user-tc8of7mu7bactually the first shoes he only wore in summer league then he wore the zO2 remix which was a rebranded version of a shoe by a company called brand black who Jamal Crawford wore the same shoe but people forget he had a minor knee injury before the ncaa tournament and he wore Kobe’s
Exactly. If anyone ever got injured wearing those ZO2s, this could be useful in court. Hell, if we think about it, this is a sad case of Karma for ZO2. He was a kid, but blinded by money and may have damaged his ankles wearing the same trash shoes he and his dad were pushing to the world.
@@nickh4676exactly my first thought when I heard him say this. Like this has to be grounds for a lawsuit for anybody that bought those shoes especially anybody that possibly got injured wearing those shoes right? He should be careful about what he says
