Are falling off the players every single game I watch
It seems like everytime I watch a game someone is losing a shoe for 2-3 possessions
Whats the science brehs?

I think that a lot of player have heeded to Ray Allen's advice that he gave about 3 years ago of wearing shoes two sizes bigger because it prolongs your playing career ...

Thus making the shoes more likely to come off when you have to pivot

any links to the ray allen advice? (edit)
Ray Allen Changed Shoe Size To Maintain Health, Prolong Career
2 sizes bigger ... I dont remember Ray coming out of his shoes at all though running through picks
Id like to see a study, it seems like the past 5 years ive seen shoes coming off more than normal.
I wanna know which shoes are ripping the most and sliding off at the highest rates

Yeah.. I would like to see a study as well..

Right now Im just kinda taking the advice of one of the greatest shooters in NBA history who had a ridiculously long career

I actually started wearing my running shoes one size bigger since I read this years ago.. And, although they do take some getting used to, I must say they're comfortable AF


Ray Allen wasn't the most athletic person on the court.. So he wasn't doing a lot of hard cuts and pivots to keep up with guys SO maybe then why you didn't see shoes flying off of him

But dont knock the guys who you do see shoes coming off of their feet.. Its just means that they're trying really hard

I wear my shoes a size up too, ive been doing it for a long time and ive never had any discomfort or injury ... plus if you tie them tight they grip good anyway. So I think your theory of everyone following his advice was right .. the space probably lets the foot move more natural inside the shoe instead of thinking its all one clusterfukk

Perhaps they're not being careful and tying their shoes correctly.
