    He did not waste any R&D money on fancy research on price point. Heard him today on the Cowherd show, and whatever shitbird was guest hosting asked him how they arrived at the $495 price, and the answer was basically, "that's what Lonzo and I decided they were worth".

    The worst part of these shoes is the name. Who legitimately thinks big baller sounds cool?

    Not to derail the thread, but to your point, aren't mud stained jeans being sold for like $400 or $500 right now? People are just fucking dumb.

    I will rip your shoes up for $400 (plus shipping) and save you $1,000.

    That's just a smart decision by you.

    Not a chance it humbles him. I imagine he comes out soon and claims the low numbers are because the big companies are intentionally keeping him out.

    Someone said it earlier, but this is going to be the peak of sales due to the newness & exposure.

    Lavar Ball has upped his negotiating price for a shoe company to 3 billion. Phone is probably ringing off the hook.

    Lavar just told Kristine Leahy to stay in her own lane. BBB doesn't have to market to/for women. (He probably thinks kids buy their own sneakers and not moms).

    I think if Lonzo does well and goes to a solid market then the shoes will begin to sell more. But it will also take a pretty drastic decrease in price as well.

    I dont think he is this cant miss player. He doenst play defense and isnt a great shooter. he can handle the basketball and is a match up nightmare due to his size but I dont think he is the second coming of Magic or Penny.
