You can’t see me!
I find it strange that all the big shoe companies threw them in the bushes. I guess we'll just have to wait and see how this plays out on the court.
Cabbage Patch
The Media scene in V is for Vendetta is the clue
Shameful.
Is it that hard to go "I hope he succeeds, I don't agree, but, peace up" and KIM???
Maybe if every person who has critical eye towards Lavar Bell and his brand wouldn't be labeled a c00n, no one would have to go so hard.

It's simple. Some sneakers cost more than others because of the value that consumer perceives. To be honest there isn't differentiation in the product itself (sneaker) because almost all companies get the same cheap raw materials. Meaning there isn't some type a special leather that is used for sneaker that is priced higher than others if there is the difference in the raw materials between an expensive sneaker and a cheap sneaker isn't that wide.
So product differentiation comes from BRAND (something intangible). In the sneaker industry, the BRAND is more often than not the performance of the athlete. In this case, Lonzo Ball does not have a BRAND yet in terms of high PROFESSIONAL athletic performance in the NBA so it is ridiculous for his father to price his shoes at $200 when there isn't anything about the physical shoe itself that differentiates it from others AND his kid hasn't stepped foot on an NBA court yet.

My little homie wearing Nike got me paranoid
I'm getting money that's in any business category :DKKhaled:
Triple B I got G's out in California
"Tell Lonzo I said fucc it, I'm tearing holes in my budget "
Lonzo: Dad u wasn't with me shootin in the gym
Lavar: nikka I'm the one that DROVE you to the gym!
Millenials, as a whole, aren't stuck on shoes the way those of us who grew up in the shoe-gimmick era were.
I don't have proof of that, it's just what I feel.
I grew up with Pumps, React Juice, lights, air pockets, catapults. That era was crazy
You don't do business with family. If Lavar had a business set up and brought Lonzo in that's fine but this is backwards. If you're a pro athlete you're the boss of your brand. Your agent works for you. In this situation Lavar is the boss and the agent and Lonzo work for him. These moves are being made in Lavar's interests not Lonzo's.

Exactly.
Instead of Lonzo makin' the bread he should make and reaching down to pull Lavar up, Lavar's
ass is on Lonzo's shoulders playin' chicken/shoulder wars with his son's bank account while Lonzo tries not to drown in the embarrassment and lost earnings.He hasn't even been drafted yet and he's down 6-10 million.
Walk into three meetings with three competing companies looking to pay you and leave with nothing, brehs.
I dead ass might make a "Official Big Baller Brand Unboxing" Thread...
shyt would be plat but as funny as I think it would be... It would come off as trivializing black business EVEN THOUGH Lavar's ideologies have shown he's anything but a poster boy of "Black is beautiful."

I love my father but if I was in this kid's shoes, I'd have to tell pops to dial it down or
I would do the same. But from interviews I've heard and the stuff I've seen it seems like breh just wanna hoop on the highest level and that's it. Right or wrong, he gone let his pops cook on the business side.
Another question...
What does Lavar Ball do? Like what is his profession? How do they have that nice crib?
