Lavar Ball and BBB got these Nike execs mad :umad:

[eastside313]

Do you think lavar ball can hire somepne to design a sneaker as nice ass the bmf shoe.
That also functions as a basketball shoe, breh.

I mean nah,...hell nah...

I feel y'all I hate to be demonstrative to the guys dream but launching basketball shoes is a whole different thing.

Also people mention Starbury but Starbury's was poppin off a runner.
that had a great actual call sign design for an unknown shoe with a nba player mythos.
So that means alternative genre shoes and designs and the call sign to big baller brand is horrific.
Basketball shoes really only worked as a functional article of clothing footwear before jordan in general.
It was also not till the crack epidemic and street wear took off.
did the jordan two originally create the frenzy that started all the mystique of the brand.
Of which it was manufactured in Italy and had no distinguished markings.
or apparent recognized logo besides a nike license plate small logo little as fukk in the back.
That shoe was sold in professional leathermaker and black shoemaker shops with Stacy adams originally and only footlocker period.
So, the shoe was also limited and only nikka who sold crack or were so entrepreneurial to get a parent to sign off on work permit had.

That were completely unattainable originally.

The balls have not followed anything related to that mythos and they will fail.
All because they do not know this game or industry at all.
That is just for starters.

I know the nikka who owned the jordan's before anyone publically in general.
shyt even I had the troops first too.
I know the balls have not appealed to that aesthetic off top and will fail.

Nobody cares about blu davinici goofy ass $1500 shoe. Nobody buying that overpriced chit.

I finally seen someone wearing a bbb shirt


It was a dusty old head

 

[23Barrettcity]

I'm bout to support BBB. Screw these greedy execs

I won't support someone just because he's black . He's offering nothing of value

 

[The Fire]

Basketball aint been around hundred years

yes it has

 

[Easy-E]

I'm not the biggest Lavar Ball fan.....But I will support him 100% just to see him stick it to these gready ass sneaker companies.They can't stand to see a black man take control of his money and destiny.They want all athletes,especially the black ones to be employees instead of the employer.

You see it

 

[Wacky D]

is this thread about what George raveling said?

if so, the "cac" talk goes out the window.

What makes you think lavar ball has more urban permeation with that exact consumer base than bmf, tho.

I think you missed the whole entire premise of the rant and stance.
Which is,...
If people did not support bmf and buckshot.
What makes anyone think an unknown can launch a basketball sneaker and apparel company.

You completely missed the point skimming, nikka.

fukk that c00n ass nikka.

 

[The Minister Of Culture]

They dominate with about 95% of all basketball shoe sales

Yet the culture is rocking with Adidas heavy and most of the Nike shoes nowadays are hitting outlets within days

and high top vandals

Neither will most of,these dudes. They say that shyt for Internet rep. If its something I like I will cop but buying shyt just because is stupid IMO might as well just give your money away

 

[Thegospel]

People against this are exposing themselves.

 

[Hov]

People against this are exposing themselves.

People against bad business practices and ideas?

Just because he is black and pretending to "take control" we gotta support him?

When a player I'm not even a fan of, even a hater of, is doing genius level business everyday?? (LEBRON)

Just because you put your name on something and call it yours dont mean nothing. The name of the game is making money that will last generations. BBB making 500k revenue ain't doing nothing to help his family long term. Take the Nike Bag of money then you have millions to create something special that will last generations - its literally like yall arent listening.

Did Jay-Z, boss of all hip hop bosses, make his own label and then go out and start selling CDs and making CDs himself and trying to get them put into Walmarts? Or did he partner with Dame and Biggs, go get a 50/50 deal with Dej Jam, who would fit the bill for the things Jay def couldnt at the time, open up their marketing budgets (you cant sell sh!t without marketing, and marketing aint appearing on First Take once a month...you do now a commercial ad buy costs a few mill) and then use that revenue to launch your own products and gear?

Hustiing backwards, and I still havent seen anyone in a leather BBB fitted...

 

[pete clemenza]

you know lonzo is low key mad as fukk he has to rock his dads wack ass sneakers

Low key he probably always dreamed of his own shoe by Nike or Addias since he first picked up a basketball

 

[SpacelySprockets]

I support lavar and his vision but im not buying the whole black ownership angle when the inheritance will be a white family not even 2 generations later

Still #BBB for life
