What are you talking about ? Nobody is switching words. you even stated it yourself. When you start cursing at people and saying you don't give a fukk about what they are saying nobody is adding tone you intended to be disrespectful and uncivil especially if the convo didn't start out that way. But have a good weekend.

What are you talking about? Yeah your definitely switching words cause I said you not everybody. I didn't tend to be disrespectful you took it that way cause maybe you around p*ssys that don't have them type of exchanges when informally talking. Everyday of my life is great fam and sorry for the cursing since you using that as some type of excuse about this topic. Fact remains I think the video is trash.

Edit: Is that your shyt video and that's why you feeling some type of way?

Now tell me there isn't an agenda here. Smelling very st0rmfr0nt-ish and yes massa in here. Almost all CACs and c00ns hating lets just state the obvious. This is how they feel right now. SO if you are supporting them I already know where you stand.















Look at how many people have been wrong before the shoe even hit the shelves. Just admit you were wrong and say you don't want to support the brother. All of the critiques have been answered so it makes you look obtuse at best or racist at worst to stand on critiques that have no merit.

I don't expect anyone who hated on #BBB from jump to admit they underestimated the brother and his business savvy and marketing genius, i just want everyone reading/lurking to see who we are dealing with.

they not buying under armour curry's for fukk sakes. Who is going to buy big baller 200$ shoes besides some obnoxious "wanna stunt on youtube" youtube pseudo-celebrities??

But playing devils advocate .. why should 'some old cac' give millions upon millions of dollars to an athlete to wear (what is worldly considered) the best basketball shoes in the world?

Last thing I wanna do is wear lonzo ball shoes
Get this fukk nikka out of here

said it already they only making a meme out themselves
big corporate brands can push product everywhere regardless of how swaggless an athlete might be
these new nikkas need the machine to sell them
to do it on your own you gotta be the best player of your generation or a style icon bigger than the sport
*

Gonna be all good til your pops have you in the NBA balling in some 2017 P. Millers

Is there even a website or a SECOND DRAFT of the logo? ...if ure gonna go independent, at least be professional. Dude still probably still use a liquor store bag to carry merchandise

BBB is already a joke and a meme, look no further than this thread. So it's hard for me to really have any support for this dude taking on the big corporation when he's already turned himself into a joke, and hurt his son in the process.

How DUMB would you have to be to have your own son pass up a multi-million dollar contract to wear some trash that will no doubt look like K-SWISS joints

Somebody had to have written that for him.

Lonzo is going to be the laughing stock of the league when BBB launches his kicks. Not to mention that sales of bball shoes have declined since Adidas made running shoes the trend.

You know LAVAR BALL because he's put himself out there on some clown shyt, but barely anybody knows BBB and those who do, already treat it like a joke. If you Google BBB you gotta go AT LEAST 10 pages (I stopped after 10) before anything about Big Baller Brand comes up.

But one of the most respected newspapers in the world, The Washington Post says otherwise

Let's assume BBB actually did make something hot enough that a relevant celebrity would want to wear (which they won't, but I'll play along)
3.) Most of these rappers ain't wearing shyt unless they get paid for it, so you might need to pay to get Migos to rock it in an IG post.

Lavar delusional breh he needs to take that guranteed money and be an entrepreneur with something else instead of sourcing out manufacturing, design and advertising since he knows nothing about those. When you're a no name brand tryna compete with the big boys the real profit is made from starting shyt from scratch (raw material) and keeping everything internal. But since he knows nothing about that, he's probably going to get a lousy cut from some Chinese manufacturers while convincing himself he's a boss.

So Lonzo gon pay for his own commercials?

Why would anyone put money into something with bad name, bad style, bad branding and unproven player, when there a millions of other things they can put money into that are black owned?

And no business started with no money and remained unproven until someone financed it. Businesses actually are proven on a small scale, usually self funded, with proof of concept that this can work. A financier isn't funding an idea, they are funding a concept that you proved can work, you just don't have the money to build it in mass.
I work with real investors, incubators and startups. I'm not even dissing you brother. And I work with athletes 10x more famous than Ball lol.

People havent rushed out to get BBB gear yet because they dont like what they have seen yet...lets not sugarcoat it.

People don't buy BBB because the gear looks awful and it has a bad name. It ain't no more serious or bigger than that.

It's the white man that is making no one purchase BBB, even though internet trolls are saying its going to take down Nike and spark a revolution (while you probably have Nikes on right now!)
Nope, its not the fact the clothes are ugly, the name is stupid and nobody supports the brand, its going to take down Nike because Lavar Ball said so, a guy who never won anything or ran a business in his life.
BBB is bad for business - now post your BBB order # or gear that you own.

Why didn't he just go and create his own shoes like you seem to think is so easy, dummy?

Right now, he's just an inexperienced dude making ugly shirts and hats and apparently he thinks they'll sell just because his son is mildly famous. He's getting free promotion on ESPN and they clown him for the high price and low quality. I think a lot more should have been done before he ever went public with this. This is an embarrassing effort at this point.

I do not like Nike products but they design their clothes for function and performance. BBB is taking generic premade t-shirts and hoodies and throwing some B's on them. Its a joke.

This is probably the most influential musicians ever in terms of fashion who couldn't get his own shyt rolling, but according to your dumb ass it's easy as 1-2-3, just create a hot design and boom, start counting the money

The best case scenario for BBB is they sell enough t-shirts, secure a shoe deal with an unknown, smaller company, and eventually get bought by a larger company for millions.

It's gonna be funny when all his sons are wearing Adidas or UA after this BBB crap flops.
nikkas talking about investing in black business but how many of y'all actually purchased something BBB related?

Can someone tell me how you make your own sneaker?

Since this thread is filled with Harvard MBA graduates.

I don't know what lavar balls current job is but I don't think he has all the manufacturing experience connections and resources needed

He has no brand, he has some corny shyt his dad came up with to try to sell a few t-shirts. The idea that he will walk on the court day 1 next year wearing BBB shoes is laughable. If he legit doesn't sign with one of the major companies and actually does that, @ me when that happens and I'll rep you into bolivia..

I'D LIKE MY REPS NOW.

He probably means $200 for one shoe

Judging by all his supporters on here these things should sell faster than most Yeezys

It already has. Lonzo missed out on millions for this bullshyt ass plan

So it's safe to assume that all the hardcore #buybacktheblock Lavar Ball supporters from the other threads will be posting up their unboxings when these shoes drop, right

Good luck with 200 price, most shoes over 200 don't sell and go to clearance including mj. Only one that sells are the really hot ones. Lonzo ball is not even that good for him to have his own shoe

I'm sorry but this is where Lavar has to step in. His dad taking reckless bullshyt is one thing but now he's fukkin up his sons money and costing him a hundred million dollar shoe deal with nike or under armour to start this stupid brand with a goofy fukkin logo that has little chance to succeed

i just don't think lonzo ball will be that type of superstar athlete to be able to move shoes like that.

he's a pass first point guard with a funky shot release. that doesn't scream sneaker superstar to me.

breh getting any signature sneaker to move is a challenege....even for nike who has been in the business for years

even for adidas who has been in the business for years

and to move a $200 one?

getting $5 million in sales on this one would be impressive to me

This is starting to feel like rooting against a team you hate when they are in the midst of their 3rd straight losing season...it's not even fun anymore, they just suck

shyt i'd be impressed if he could sell $100k worth.

200 out the gate

they don't have the marketing money to move product
the ball family got no wave
they just got papa ball clowning

jajajahahaa you think that's gonna sell gear¿*

this guys an idiot. take a nike deal then after start your company with the nike money when your kid is established

Kids might not but parents will, ball players will if they are legit and let's be honest, kids won't respect them for $200 unless Kanye is rocking them, there's a collab with a hype brand or the design is bananas and the shoe is exclusive. I don't have a problem with it per se, it's his company but at $200 the shoe is DOA.

at the name "Big Baller Brand'' them shyts probably gonna look like them Dada spinner wheel shoes or them ugly ass Master P's

The whole Big Baller Brand reeks of something dreamed up while smokin blunts and playin dominoes

Only this nikka is dead ass serious with this off-brand bullshyt

This shyt looks like something you'd see in the back of a late 90s-early 2000s XXL in the classified section next to the porn stuff. :smhkobe:

shyt $200 per shoe. He finna make a solid $2000

He played himself and his kids

Who tf is gonna wear a shirt that says "Big Baller Brand"?

shyt is mid 00s shyt when brehs were rocking backwards jerseys and AND1 was hot

Does Lavar own a manufacturing plant? Does he have any distribution channel that allows him a market that Nike or the other shoe company aren't penetrating or aware of, does he have some type of patented technology for his son's shoe that will differentiate it from the other shoes in the market? Most importantly, Lonzo does not even have a BRAND (something that takes building) because he hasn't played PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL YET.
A partnership requires that each one of the party brings something different to the table that each party doesn't have. What the hell does Lavar Ball bring to the table in May of 2017 that justifies a partnership with a corporation with Billions in revenues?

#BBB looks like Lavar knows what he's doing, Lonzo aint even been measured at the combine yet and his brand has made more waves than any new fashion brand this entire year. Fashion Week collection on the way!

[philmonroe]

D-Wade joints ? And we're talking about ugly ? I wish people just say the real reason they hate what Ball is doing............ we all know the reason

Y'all stupid cats stay with the false equivalencies mane. Who the flying fukk out here copping Dwades? Please stop with the chick like emotional arguments and bring some actual facts not emo logic.

You can support without buying the damn shoe. They have other clothing for sale not talking about the slippers either. This is just the start. I'm not going to clown on someone doing his own thing just because hes not making me money. I will support BBB. I wan't to see it blow up.
