The Ball's new shoes

[gohusk]

What he's doing sounds like a good idea if he's willing to ride it out for a few years but that's under the assumption that he's not going to be a super-star. I just don't see that happening. I don't understand the infatuation with the guy because nothing I've seen says sure-fire superstar. Last guy I saw that was that good was Anthony Davis and he obviously has a lot going for himself athletically with his athleticism for his size.

I can see a decent number of people buying them just because they are stupidly expensive. Watch them become a new status symbol in hip hop culture.

around 5000 buyers had ordered 'em online around noon today according to BSpn...

I mean, we have 2 live threads on the first page about Lonzo Ball while the playoffs are full swing and the dude hasn't even been drafted yet.

I am not a fan of Lavar, but It looks like his antics are working.

$500 for fugly footwear? No thanks.

Yep,I saw 5000 too.

I love Lonzo.

But, won't put a nickel into Lavar's pocket.

Yep, looks like you are correct.

Funny, I saw 3 different shows on ESPN reporting the higher number.

Out of the 328 transactions that happened on BigBallerBrand.com in the first 24 hours that the shoes were offered for sale, we tracked that a total of just 263 pairs of sneakers had sold in both signed and unsigned versions of the ZO2 Prime.

While we have no access to sales receipts, transactions or traffic data, we have been monitoring the inventory levels of the footwear listed on BigBallerBrand.com. After noting the initial product levels at the start and deducting the current units sold, we can confidently say that 210 pairs of unsigned ZO2 Primes had sold (103 pairs in size 8.5 alone), along with 53 autographed ZO2 Primes.

Big Baller Brand Didn't Sell As Many Lonzo Ball Shoes As Rumored

I actually had a two pairs of Starburys back in college, when they were sold at Steve and Barrys. The shoes were so bad. Was the kind of shit you'd give out on missions to Ethiopians.

I balled in a pair and I had more ankle injuries in those shoes than all other shoes I've ever worn combined.

I feel like these will be a collectors item in a few years regardless of how good of an NBA baller lonzo turns out to be.
