I remember Moni mentioning (either here, or on her blog) that AK wasn't on the Nike team page.... perhaps this is why.

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
(puts on Shoe Geek hat)
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
Possibly the southernmost Jazz fan in the world!

oh, i wasn't suggesting nike had anything to do with his injuries
i was just hoping we (oops did i say we? i meant AK) has better luck with adidas.
