I'm too poor to buy those.


Not poor in the money sense, just poor in the "hey look at me I need attention" area.

If I needed anymore reason to not buy these shoes, I saw a few people who tweeted at Lonzo Ball about buying some:
Michael Bennett
Marcellus Wiley
Chad Johnson

BTW, best response to Michael Bennett's tweet:

They start out at $500 and go up to over $1,000.

When I get them, I'll let you know if the comfort is worth the price tag

Once we know how comfortable they are, then we can discuss the value you get for the price

If I ordered a full team set will the other two Ball brothers commit to the school of my choice?

This seems like a brilliant way to simplify recruiting.

The middle bro is going to UCLA, but isn't great. 3* I believe. The youngest is supposed to be great, I think. I would assume the youngest will go to UCLA As well, unless the school pisses off daddy-ball somehow.

Apparently LaMelo, the youngest, is the 14th best prospect in his class and a 5*. He has already committed to UCLA for the class of 2019

Anyone -- of any color/race -- wearing these, only proves how ignorant they are with money. It does not prove you are a baller. It proves you are a fricking moron.

First of all, the guy has not played a second in the league, and frankly will more than likely be a bust. Secondly, the shoes are ugly. Third, they have no discernible features to justify the ridiculous price. Fourth, any and all people wearing these shoes will only be doing so to show people you can spend $500 on a pair of shoes. The caveat, however, is that the only people who will be impressed, are fellow morons.

Of course, there is only one way to be dumb with money. Jesus easy with the paternalism.



As if other people don't get their big ol trucks, or golf memberships, or hunting boats, or rolex watches to show how rich they are. i could go on and on and on. Keep showing your true colors buddy

I think it would be prudent to learn how comfortable they are, how well they perform on the court and how rugged the construction is before we pass judgement on value relative to price.

From this NYT article, it doesn't sound like they will be flying off the shelves, but experts still believe they will sell 10,000 pairs. NYT ON ZO2s

quote:

Matt Powell, a sports industry analyst at NPD Group, estimated Big Baller Brand would sell 10,000 pairs, which he described as a “rounding error” given the 400 million pairs of shoes Nike made last year.
quote:

Someone who pre-orders ZO2s today would be guaranteed shipping, according to Big Baller Brand, by Nov. 24 — a hint, Powell suggested, at the six-month lead time typically required to make and transport new shoes.
