Posted Feb 22, 2019
Officials from Duke and Nike met in Durham a day after the Nike shoe worn by Zion Williamson ripped apart. The school has had an exclusive agreement with Nike since 1992 and their current contract runs through 2027. The image of the Nike shoe blowout came in the most watched basketball game of the year, UNC's 16 point win at Duke Wednesday.
