Not ONE of these clowns on here caping for this trash can post an actual receipt of a purchase.

Which is understandable, most of these supposed "6 figure 6 cert" Coli posters clearly can't afford the $495 shoes anyway :picard:

Turning down 495 is understandable but they can afford 60. We ain't seen a t shirt receipt yet.

This is the site that shytted on Kanye for selling expensive clothes but somehow Lavar doing it is okay

Kanye was very open about the fact that he was paying higher production costs because established brands had control of factories, materials, etc.

He also said how he wanted the prices to be lower even when he was at Nike.

Kanye was the first Indian over the hill and took all the heat, now LaVar is getting credit for the trail Kanye blazed.

Exactly.

A black man starts a business and they need to know his criminal record, his high school grades, and how many white chicks he's smashed before they buy from him.

A white man selling shyt and they don't give a single fukk about his background.

These nikkas are clowns.

But Lavar isn't doing this for Black ppl. So he's essentially no different from corporate white companies. Therefore why do you feel the need to push the narrative in that direction?

Lavar made this a "Ur not going to exploit my kids....I am" situation, and it got turned into a old Black father vs white corporate machine situation.

We all saw it that way at first, but that's not what it is.

Well the shyt wasn't for you in the first place. If you could afford it no problem you wouldn't think it was about you. Other brands do the same but just don't say it so I guess you like to know their shyt ain't for your pockets and they just don't say it? If that works for you ok but I'm not that sensitive over that stuff. Its not the same as racial stuff to me

It's about principle for me.

I like(d) Lavar ball and what he's trying to do. If ppl are rooting for you, you shouldn't cast them aside, IMO. If someone can't spend 500,but can spend $250, let them do that. Don't tell them that your brand is not for them. That's just dumb to me. I can't name ONE apparel company that would say that. Think about how many potential buyers u alienate like that.

If u gonna do that then just make EVERYTHING u sell $500

Ask yourself brehs, why hasn't a single coli member copped any apparel? Surely Lavar's most vocal supporters believe in the brand enough to buy it. Could it be that:

A. The clothing doesn't appeal to their sense of style
B. They think the clothing is too expensive

So the same reason we're criticizing BBB is essentially the same reason why they're not buying.

It is the middle of the NBA playoffs the most well known voice/face in sports television just called LAVAR BALL the biggest story in sports. THE BIGGEST STORY IN SPORTS.



But let yall tell it he doesn't know what he's doing. And #BBB will fail. What does Phil Knight's voice sound like? Who owns Adidas? How many kids does the Under Amour CEO have? You guys can't see the forest for the trees.

#BBB will never lose.

My thing is if you fukk with him you going to rock with him regardless. This isn't big enough to be like oh I'm not rocking with him anymore unless you really wasn't from jump. That's how I see it but you are entitled to see it differently I understand.

people actually think he sold 4000 pairs of shoes so I know yall aint got no goddamn sense
He sold 5,000 so far, they talked about it on firsttake today. They said he only needs to sell 200,000 pairs to net 100million :dame:

Now you know you look like a hating ass clown for this, I'm just a smiling delivery man :smugbiden:

Respectable to who? And how can you say a sneaker that you never touched or even seen in person isn't a quality product? And why does his product have to help the masses, he never said this was a charity line, this is business. How does Air Jordan, Louis Vuitton or $500 Raf Simons Adidas help the masses? How are they not preying on idiots and suckers? I find it amusing that the black man behind #BBB is held to standards you guys never held Phil Knight to. Knight could be a rapist for all we know, but it doesn't matter we're just buying the brand, right?

And I wasn't speaking to you with that quote Bilz i was speaking to @Buggsy Mogues who said:
His shyt looks ugly and it is all priced 5-10 times of what it should be. I worked for a semi large manufacturing company. The factories that produced the items also either manufactured the competitors' items or had the ability to make replicas. That is why you can buy cheap nike stuff at flea markets. They don't have the marketing overhead costs and they probably won't do much QC, if any.

If you're buying nike knockoffs for 5x the cost of real nikes, how is it anything but a charity line? You are essentially just donating money to Lavar Ball at that point.

Suck a dikk and learn how to read you broke ass worthless fakkit. Its clear what I put the first time. Stop reading like an emotional bytch and its clear to see what the fukk I wrote dummy
If it was clear you wouldn't be in your feelings and looking stupid right now. You said they have different levels of offerings on everything for different financial levels.

If "they" is talking about BBB, then thats clearly false. No they dont.

If "they" is referring to Nike, thats a cool argument in support of Nike but how what does that have to do with supporting BBB?
