THEY?

:mjpls:

Lonzo does the leg work and THEY make some serious money?

Who's the boss here again?

bytch there's three brothers plus the father and mother. Everyone has been doing their part along with who we don't see. Don't act like it's just lonzo out there putting the whole family on his back.

Fair to feel that way but let's be real....a lot of people happily buy ugly ass shyt from Jordan/Nike, Adidas, UA, etc all the time just to follow trends and shyt. People buy ugly ass LeBron's :mjlol:. Most players got ugly ass logos that are slapped on shirts and other gear and people buy it. Which players personal logo is even dope like that?

I dont think the point is for the clothes and shoes to look nice and shyt. They're banking on the fact that if Lonzo is a star, he'll sell gear regardless how it looks. Kids love the athletes more than the fashion itself.

You right its better because it IS black owned.

Black people are the best at EVERYTHING.

Don't fukking forget it.
ok breh but that isn't reality.

you don't make subpar product while trying to be better than your competition. Black loyalty will only carry them so far. They need to be competitive in their market. get out your feelings and look at the business of it. like we haven't seen this with fubu. y'all gon body yaselves again. Black people are the best but this brand isn't representative of that.

Well I hope they have that level of brand loyalty but it takes some wins to get that level of pull first of all. 500 sneakers isn't cutting it.

Underarmour was also banking on pushing garbage gear with a celebrity. Converse did the same when they were in basketball too. It doesn't work. I don't know why you would want to settle for mediocrity it's not even hard to design shyt anymore...

I mean posters said it in here the clothing doesn't look great but they will support because of what it stands for. It can be great and also black owned why is that so hard to understand?

You are just showing blind allegiance. Black people are style and fashion influencers, the brand is not representing that with their old ass sensibilities. It's not fashionable

True that it does take wins. But Lonzo already has a leg up being on the Lakers. Nick fukking Young got a shoe deal and magazine covers being on the Lakers. If he ends up being the guy who brings the Lakers back post-Kobe, he and the brand will be good. Plus he sold 500 sneakers before even being drafted....what players have done that before? Lonzo would've sold 0 sneakers by now if he signed with Nike. What rookies get their own is signature sneaker anyway? Nike be having nikkas wait yeaaaaarssss for their own kicks.

I do agree that need to do better presentation though....i think the clothes are decent but the shoes obviously need some work. And the website is embarrassing....idk if Lavar does that on purpose to make a point but they could definitely upgrade a lot of that shyt.
