Angelo Ferrari Keeps Destroying His Wrestling Shoes

In a live look inside the Iowa wrestling room, Angelo Ferrari explains why he keeps blowing out his wrestling shoes — and it’s happening fast.

During practice with Terry Brands, Ferrari reveals he’s gone through three pairs of Nike Takedown wrestling shoes in about a month, ripping the sides out mid-shot. These aren’t old shoes either — some are brand new, custom-ordered off Instagram, and still getting broken in when they fail.

The exchange is part humor, part reality check. Are Ferrari’s feet really that fast? Is his pressure that explosive? Or are the shoes just not built to survive the pace of an elite Iowa wrestling practice?

Brands’ reaction says it all — this isn’t common, but nothing about Ferrari’s movement is common either. It’s a small moment that perfectly captures the intensity inside the Iowa Wrestling room, where even the gear struggles to keep up.

By the end, Ferrari jokingly makes a public plea for anyone with size 10.5 Nike Takedowns — because at this rate, he might actually run out.

If you want real, unfiltered access to elite college wrestling, this is what it looks like.
