    i know this isn't a big deal but being a shoe head i notice these kinds of things.

    last night against the magic, bonzi was wearing nike shoes and he's wearing nike shoes again tonight against the knicks.

    does anyone know why he isn't wearing anta shoes?

    Because they gave him money? A lot of celebrities/athletes endorse things they don't actually use.

    Yao wouldn't even talk to a reporter if they had a coke on the table a few years back when he was sponsored by Pepsi.

    Battier --> Peak
    Hayes --> Li Ning
    Francis --> Anta
    Scola --> Anta

    Francis and Scola are wearing Jordan/Nike before their shoes are ready
    they are probably still designing Wells' shoes

    The reason is simple. :cool:

    Your photo is quite blur and therefore no one is for sure whether Bonzi was wearing a Nike or an Anta, cos the logos of Anta is very close to that of Nike.

    The Anta Logo

    The Nike Logo

    Another reason could be Anta had yet to send him the right size of shoes.

    i am a shoe head so i know what shoes are nike and what aren't and i can guarantee you those are nike shoes he's wearing in that photo. perhaps your second reason of anta not supplying him with shoes yet is the real reason.

    Are you sure? The Chinese shoe brands often "steal" designs from other brands. I remember when Battier's Peak shoes first came out, I thought they looked just like a style of Nikes.

    In China, shoes of different brands look like each other at the same time of a year.... That is why they call it fashion.

    The question is, who is going to jump on Bonzi and take those shoes from him? :p

    Maybe his deal allows him to wear quality shoes instead of the Anta ones?

    ;)

    As for the topic, did the team win? Cause I could care less about the shoe deals...

    Exactly. If we win who cares about the shoes. Besides what's the big deal about contracts and shoes. I signed a contract with my wife and you don't see me wearing her shoes. Okay I tried on her pumps once but they are just way to tight.

    Scola needs to tell Bonzi to improve his shooting% by wearing Anta.
