Shaq Slammed the $495 Price Tag for Big Baller Brand Shoes
Shaq Slammed the $495 Price Tag for Big Baller Brand Shoes
The Diesel and many others are roasting the hell out of these kicks.
Earlier this week, reports surfaced about LaVar Ball making the price point of his son Lonzo's shoes $200. People dragged the Ball family about that and they're roasting the father and son even more now.
That's because that initial report was wrong and Mr. Ball is actually charging more for Lonzo's first signature shoe. A LOT MORE. Yesterday, LaVar introduced Lonzo's Big Baller Brand ZO2 Prime sneakers with a price tag of a whopping $495! The "Wet" color scheme of the kicks are available for $995 and BBB slides are going for $220 per pair.
Oh, the madness!
Within minutes of the announcement, the internet came raining down hard on LaVar and Lonzo, who is expected to be a top three selection in the NBA Draft.
One of those slamming the $495 price tag? Shaquille O'Neal.
Here's how Mr. Ball introduced Lonzo's sneakers, Shaq's reaction and all the ways Twitter and Instragram dragged the shoes to hell and back.
