OT LaVar is costing his son MILLIONS of dollars

[Natebishop3]

Nobody buys Currys bootleg UnderArmour shoes for 1/4 of the price, why do these people think anybody would buy these?

Sometimes fashion does shit we don't understand. Why are people paying thousands of dollars for Yeezy's? I don't know.

Given some of the stuff people are willing to waste money on.....

Understood. But Yezzy's fall under the whole "lifestyle" line. Those price way high across the board. Wear em to the clubs or whatever. These are "on court" kicks. UnderArmour is understanding how hard of a game that is to get into. And they are very cheap price wise and STILL are sinking. These fools are coming in at a whole other level. This will fail miserably.

And now they have $220 slides??? Bananas!

I think if they're actually hoping to make it a mass-produced on-court shoe... it's not going to happen.

But if they somehow get into that niche market, like Yeezy's, maybe they'll sell a few? It could take off as some kind of trend bullshit.... like someone famous wearing his shoe.

These fuckers basically copied the Kobe 11s and thru their logo on it. Thing is The Kobes are one of the most well designed and put together shoe there is. Top quality, comfortable and go from $160-$220 depending on style or if they are a limited release. Who knows what sweat shop thru these together, but they are asking $500 for 'em. Just embarrassing. Should have come in at like $100. SHit, Dame's are like $115 and are very nice!

Sure it's "clean"...... the felt that way since they came out as Kobes.

Ha! I think the answer is, I don't know. But heck, I don't even know what you said.

 

[THE HCP]

WOW! Shaq just blasted the dad!

Good call, Shaq. Bought my son a pair of Shaq shoes a little over a month ago for about $20. Pretty sweet kicks.

I obviously hate Kobe, but these shoes are legit. I bought a pair and they are pretty damn comfortable. The first time I saw the Lavar's shoe, I thought they were the Kobes also.

Wow.

Manufacture costs: $15
Purchase cost: $220
A world of idiots willing to spend that much when they could buy nike sandals for a fraction of the cost: Priceless

 

[PDXFonz]

Looks like CJ was on Sportsnation and they talked about these shoes.

CJ "You could get 3 pairs of Kyries, Two pairs of lebrons..."

Man the co-hosts on that show are insufferable. Dude literally interrupting and talking over CJ.

 

[blue9]

No.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

FUCK I WANT THOSE SHOES NOW

This thread reminds me of the epic Steph Curry shoe launch fails last year:

Dad son texts....... ha!!!!

The Chinese factory manufacturing these are going to be selling 1000s of them out the back door and never give the Balls a dime. I normally delete the knock off Chinese made NBA jersey ads from the forum but the first one that is selling the BBB shoes I'm leaving up.

 

[H.C.]

I can't get past the name.
Therefore regardless of the price, I'd never buy those shoes.

This. How are they already on the second version? I get he wore the #2 but the kobe's didnt start with the kobe 8 lol these guys are the kardashians of the NBA famous for nothing. I hope he is a bust honestly just so I dont have to hear about this family anymore. My biggest gripe is if you havent done shit and you act like youre the second coming you set yourself up for failure if youre anything less than a perennial allstar. I cant wait for that first GS matchup right now just to see this rook put in his place. Steph will make him look silly each and every time he sees him, Draymond will make sure he goes like 2-12 with 4 TO all the while telling him how his shoes look like theyre from the payless clearance section.

Calling it now he is going to really struggle his rookie year.

Hey, we don't want no fucking poor people wearing my shoes!

I have bad news for you, but he has two more sons, each of which LaVar Ball claims is more talented than the last. No matter how many of them bust, you're going to be hearing about the family for a long, long time.

 

[THE HCP]

Number 2 ain't all that, but the youngest looks like he could be special.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Man, fuck this guy.

He's also making Lonzo a target - flagrants on Lonzo could be an NBA record.

Twitter was making fun of this all day. My work boots cost 140, there is no way i'm paying 3x my work boots for a pair of shoes from anyone let this rabid megalomaniac.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Now I really this Big Baller product!
