do players regularly switch shoe brands in the middle of the season/post-season? he was still wearing nike last month. hopefully adidas can protect AK’s legs a little better.

Hmmmmmm

While there’s no doubt that adidas Ball shoes have got a lot better recently I’d say this may not be a comfort/medical thing, more likely a $ thing. While it’s unusual for a player to change mid season, it’s something that does happen.

He was wearing average Nike though, which may have contributed to him changing (Shox, ugh) but it’s VERY unlikely to have done anything to contribute to his calf issues
