Even comes in sandals? lmao

 

[Ducarmel]

The price for the shoes is crazy.

But I hope they are successful and think about affordable shoes and donations for at risk teens and funding youth programs.

 

[Brazil]

I'll never understand people who pay more than $100 for shoes.

They're fucking shoes.

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

They look like a comedy sketch show parody of sneakers

 

[Mudcrab]

 

[Mattlikewhoa]

Bruh these shits cost $495

 

[manny10032]

$495?!?!?!

LLL

 

[Rival]

Legit made me laugh

 

[TheGameshark]

lol oh my god

 

[FallingEdge]

Carpe Diem Kobe XI

I'll never understand people who pay more than $100 for shoes.

Depends on the use. Lots of pairs are well worth 100+ price tag. As they say, the shoes make the man.

His goodwill stock would have skyrocketed had he announced something affordable like Starburys.

 

[Forearm Star]

He's pricing himself out of the market before he is even a percentage in it... Dude is absolutely crazy and it's going to hurt his kids more than anything.

Not the best way to start.

And if Lonzo busts out or is just mediocre, he's gonna wish he had signed a deal instead of letting his dad manage him.

It's really a high risk, high reward game he's playing Starting with a $500 looks to be like another blunder. I admire him for trying though.

**Hey I'm already seeing them on ESPN so there's that.**

 

[Sandfox]

No returns or exchanges, so you're screwed if they don't fit.

looks $4.95, costs $495

That's basically the shoe market in general.

I'll never understand people who pay more than $100 for shoes.

They're fucking shoes.

You could apply logic to a lot of products. People pay for a brand, a specific style, and quality.

 

[Vostro]

I can get Jordans for wayyyy less than that and looks better.

 

[witchedwiz]

Bruh these shits cost $495

They aren't bad, but they are 60-70 $ good, wouldn't spend a dime more

 

[pokeystaples]

I kinda like the simplicity but hate that brand name, logo and price. $500 aint no joke when Sallie Mae still want her last few bills.

 

[Kusagari]

These things look nice enough that they might have actually sold some at $100.

Nobody is paying a more premium price than Jordans for this shit.

 

[scoobs]

The legal battle in 2-3 years between this kid and his dad is going to be legendary. Poor kids too dumb to realize his dad is actually ruining his life.

But LaVar Ball in his prime was better than Jordan... LOL!!!

It's a racket, I tells ya

OMG I can only imagine. Especially if his younger brothers pan out to be much better than him too... It'll be must see tv...

 

[Dr.Acula]

Martina Hingis went with some cheapo shoe company thinking she'd make more in sponsorships but the shoes ended up giving her chronic foot problems and basically destroyed her prime.

[TS-08]

Even comes in sandals? lmao

I'd love to wear these with a $100 pair of BBB socks.

 

[Zekes!]

These are wack and the logo is wack

 

[Forearm Star]

OMG I can only imagine. Especially if his younger brothers pan out to be much better than him too... It'll be must see tv...

His dad will be there to sell the rights!
It's about the long game.

 

[Tekniqs]

we don't even know that lol.

 

[NastyBook]

This fucking asshole is ruining his son's future. The fuck is wrong with him?

 

[Dynomutt]

Does it have herring bone though? What type of cushion? Mid sole shank plate? I'd laugh if he doesn't wear them in game. They look nicer that the SC3's. But at that price please. Even Steph's shoe game is struggling.

 

[Fjordson]

You could buy the latest signature shoes from Lebron, Kevin Durant and Steph Curry and combined it'd still be less than $495...

These aren't even the worst silhouette ever imo, but that price is hilarious. Basketball shoes aren't in vogue like they used to be, even established stars have had to lower their prices lately to help juice sales. Doubt these take off in any way.

 

[Minarik]

The brand name is so stupid. Big Baller Brand? Really? His poor kids are having their future income potential ruined.

 

[blakep267]

fuck that noise

the shoe looks like an x-copy of the Kobe XI

[IMG]http://www.slamonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Kobe-XI-Elite-Main.jpg[/IMG]

vs

To be fair, they look like the last 4-5 Kobe and venomenon models lmao

(It's a joke because Kobe shows have slight differences each year)

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Those shoes are hot trash.

I'll never understand people who pay more than $100 for shoes.

They're fucking shoes.

Heh my closet full of jordans and foams :X

 

[Shmeagatory94]

I just dont understand the price tag. Like really? Why charge $500 for your first ever shoe?

 

[Colonel Nasty]

These are literally the Crazylight Boost 2016. The shoes above cost 130$ and have actual Boost in them.

 

[EYEL1NER]

I'm not a shoe guy but I like them, barring the Overwatch logo on the back. I wouldn't pay even close to half of that asking price for them though, so I'm not gonna be rocking a pair ever.

 

[scoobs]

and are also ugly as sin

 

[Stat Flow]

I'd buy the sandals for $20

 

[NoctisVsStar]

and are also ugly as sin

True but the comfort level must be insane compared to the cheapo BBB

 

[SoRuffShoNuff]

I'll never understand people who pay more than $100 for shoes.

They're fucking shoes.

Try on a legit nice pair of leather oxfords and you will understand.

 

[Timedog]

No holding back on Twitter.

If you're going to photoshop, at least color match, brehs. It takes like 1 minute.

 

[Colonel Nasty]

and are also ugly as sin

Ehh the gold is a little much but I thought the Ghost Peppers were 🔥

 

[StoopKid]

Y'all just some haters BBB is taking over!

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Y'all just some haters BBB is taking over!

With his life perhaps. I got nothing against the kid he got game but his father sabotaging him, should've just signed with Nike.

 

[Two Words]

Having "Brand" in your brand name is like MAG being "Massive Action Game".

 

[Macadinho94]

Shaq's response was great

[TheCochese]

 

[Hickbilly Deluxe]

The worst part is you know they will sell enough somehow to make money.

 

[johancruijff]

they're not really ugly, maybe a little bland

but isn't this a bit premature?

 

[cwmartin]

I still chuckle at the fact that the word brand is in the brand name. haha

 

[Future Foundation]

Fuck, I thought the $495 thing was a joke. They actually fucking cost damn near five hundred American Dollars.
