First Look At The First Big Baller Brand Sneaker "ZO2" UPDATE: THIS SH*T COST $495

[the artist known az]

At least they actually look like athletic shoes...nikkas in here trying to convince themselves those BBB shoes look good. shyts look like fashionable ref shoes or bowling shoes

Just went to Eastbay to see what you could get for $495

Around $32 to spare. Might as well get next or 2 day shipping instead of waiting til November

Plus you get 90 day free returns if they don't fit. If those BBB kicks aren't true to size you're out $500

 

[Gus Money]

Bingo.

I just saw a headline where he came out and said "if you can't afford the shoes at $500, then you're not a big baller"

If he really said that, A. he's a dumbass. B. I hope y'all don't support him, simply just bc he's black man. Because he doesn't care about that.

He's using his relatability as a old black father as his appeal. But he's not doing this to provide a product for ppl who want an affordable alternative to Nike or UA

I could buy a pair, but anyone who says stuff like that doesn't deserve my $.

I mean maybe you can win by being arrogant to a sect of customers, but even Jordan wasn't that dumb.

So you don't give a fukk about what others are saying and yet you want people to hear your opinion about a video posted. Nobody is trying to get their homework done online just offering a perspective in a field I am currently working in. No need to get hostile it's not that serious. Just agree to disagree and keep it civil and pushing.

Here we go with the switching words up part of the program. Who said I don't care what others have to say? I didn't. I posted I don't care about all that blabbing you posted. I was just giving my take on why I didn't like the video. If you listen to my opinion or not it doesn't matter cause we aren't changing the others mind. I'm not being hostile that's you adding voice and tone to posted words instead of being like dude could just be saying that calm as ever and not serious. That isn't my problem my man.

These look better than them Lonzo shoes

Nah

Dan Lebatard show is giving these brothers even more free pub today and it's hilarious. I love the outrage from certain demographics. I love it...

[philmonroe]

For all of you saying this is too much..
Remember, they did the shoe 100% themselves..black owned, no Chinese kids in sweat shops slaving to make shoes for 15cent per hour.

I would spend the extra money to support black owned company

Where is all your Starbury gear at then fam? I know you got closets of,that then

 

[Zero]

Hold up...I just saw the price.

They look ok, but I ain't paying $495 for a fukking shoe made in somebody's garage. fukk that.

But you already are

 

[philmonroe]

Crazy thing is, if you just removed the BBB and placed a louie v on the side of the shoe, no one would be saying a damn thing about the price.

This issue is really exposing the levels of consumerism in social media.

While this is true for some that's a bad argument because its more to it than just name. Its the perception, status, and usually quality (not always but mainly) that comes with "high end" stuff. That's like saying them sketchers would cost 200 if they had a nike logo on them. Ok maybe but since they don't we know what time it is. Same goes for other things also so I don't see how people use that argument.

dumb video.

$495.00 is not for the black community. most of us can't afford that. PERIOD. so dont even try to. Those shoes are not for you BLACK community. sorry the white man stole our money and does us dirty so most of us are too broke for that.
Now a lot of white folks can afford that price tag. a lot of rich people can afford it. thats for them. not for you. if you kill yourself and miss rent to get them. thats your fault.

But alot of black people in the hood are dumb as hell and can't understand this concept. They think it's a status symbol to get expensive things they can't afford.

Pay $500 for some sneakers but live in a shytty apt with piss smelling hallways. The remedial thinking is not even funny anymore at this point.

LaVar isn't Pro-Black, he's first and foremost Pro-Money

So they said the shoes won't be available "for 6 months and no refunds"

I mean, that sounds like bad business to me.

Maybe 1 month at max to create hysteria. But 4-5 months from now most ppl will move on and regret having $500 tied up with nothing to show for it. And "no refunds" is some Ja Rule shyt waiting to happen

It's a low risk business model and that is extremely smart for a start up. Only produce what gets ordered. Sure it will turn some off but it won't turn everyone off and puts him in position with very little risk to take a big loss...

Don't let there be an IP lawsuit and the shoe has to change or get cancelled within those 6 months
