Limited PvP -> PvE Free Character Transfers
The Cataclysm Classic Pre-Expansion Patch Arrives April 30
An Update on This Year’s BlizzCon and Blizzard’s 2024 Live Events
Did Blizzard just hotfix an ilvl requirement onto Awakened LFR?
What's the state of PvP like today?
MMO-Champion
I think besides walmart sandals, I've pretty much worn nothing but Sketchers for 10 years or so?
$75 pair will last me about 3-4 years depending how much wear and tear I put on them.

Wow. This guy sure is confident. Hasn't even proven he can be a star yet he's trying to sell shoes for a higher price than LeBron or Steph.
Here is the problem. Its not about this poor Lonzo, it's about his father Lavar turning crazy about his kids.
He is not doing any good to his son's career. Now expectation are so high that Lonzo have no choice but being a great player cause if he is just average, all the hype will turn back against him.Last edited by mmoc051d140155; 2017-05-09 at 01:28 PM.

Luxury good is marketed as a luxury good.
What's the issue?

Number one rule of buying shoes is comfort. Those don't look comfortable.
Also, yeah, this guy is more full of himself than the lovechild of Terrell Owens and Randy Moss https://twitter.com/Lavarbigballer/s...78921396314112Last edited by Pendulous; 2017-05-09 at 09:20 PM.

Right. People arent outrages, more laughing at him and how stupid he is. Originally Posted by Machismo

He then goes to say that the shoes are people are for people who can afford them. Damn his fans, just get money from rich people who arent smart enough to spend their money on better premium shoes. "If you cant afford them then youre not a baller" Well I guess Im not a baller l, bruh.
Its a terrible business move and the culture isnt going to let him live it down.

Fucking LaVar though, he is the Donald Trump of the NBA. Just a huge BS artist, he is going to ruin his kids careers if any of them actually get a chance to have one. Lonzo can ball, proved it at UCLA. His 2 other kids are still in HS and everyone is riding them pretty hard like they are going to be goats. Problem is the one kid who is already 18, isn't very good he has a lot of work to do in college to even have NBA dreams. The younger one LaMelo, he's a shooter, but he is little else after that. He is also playing crappy high school kids. And his shot is awful mechanically.
If their father was half the basketball player he thinks he is (dude said he would beat Jordan lol) he would have fixed his kids jumps shot form and taught them proper shot selection. And how not to be lazy shits on defense.

Can we not give attention to loud mouth asshole fathers and their spineless sons?
Although if you want the lols, they went this direction because none of the major shoe companies wanted to touch this with a 50 foot pole. lol.

But that would just mean that "the culture" is just a bunch of deluded corporate shills who would gladly pay $200 for a shoe that cost $10 to make if it has a jumpman on it, but somehow consider $500 beyond the pale even though it's probably a more justifiable price given that Ball probably needs to charge that much to cover his overhead given that he probably doesn't expect to sell many.

If you can't tell at least 1 sport I watch, well, you need to become more observant. That sport isn't covered by ESPN. Neither is the other sport I follow. Originally Posted by Tennisace

Doesn't help that these clowns get front page ESPN coverage every time the Balls fart.
Encourages more clown behavior from them, free publicity, free advertising.
One of the main differences between this...and say Retro Jordans (or luxury brands), is that they are fashion accessories.
These sneakers seem to be positioned on performance, so its performance needs to be up to their price tag is they were to ever work out.
Part of the reason people buy expensive sneakers (Retro Jordans, Air Yeezys etc) is because they are fashion icons and give you 'street cred'.
These sneakers have yet to show that they are anywhere near that status.
