Exactly. He's selling clothing shoes etc but the way he's promoting it he's really selling himself and his sons, which already limits who's going to be interested . If his sons fail the brand is dead.

Under armour sold because it made a good inventive product. And really ? Kanye is signed to a company he's not making his stuff dolo

What they gonna Do? Pay them Chinese kids 20 extra cents to stitch the shoes the wrong way?

Because Kanye is a dumbass... he wanted his shyt on display at fashion shows that's what he was crying about. He could've easily manufactured a regular shoe on his own

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.
Why didn't he ? Because it's hard to do that shyt and that's with his name recognition and money . He didn't want to go bankrupt . You guys need to watch shark tank . 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
Depends, I remember I went to China in Guangzhou with a friend that was doing clothing at the time.
He wanted to make I think about around 1000 jeans cant remember. Anyway guy though my friend was some huge clothing company he got pretty upset about only doing a thousand jeans and told my friend he could do it when his next shift of workers came in which was that day. That was pre b2b-business to business websites, which means it's even easier now.
Two brothers in China doing that work for clothes, so why can't a brother who has a million more in leverage put in that work for him and his son. I hope Ball and his sons make it.
Man hell no. Are you broke?
I swear it's only 9-5 working internet black power slacktivists talking about they would be investing millions to combat structural oppression by investing into Big Baller Brand
Breh. First of all, if you make millions investing, you don't make stupid investments, because you're not a stupid person. So since you're not a stupid person, before you inject your hard earned family money into an "investment", you gonna look at those profit and loss statements and see if you will earn your money back. Becaese it's umm...an investment.
Next, your mindset is the reason OUR community's doesn't have wealth. Poor people mindset - you just want to throw around the word investment to sound smart and financially savvy, but let me break it down for you from someone that knows exactly what he's talking about. It's these "investments" that cause a lot of us, especially athletes to grow back.
True, generational wealth is built through putting your money into things that can lock in for your kids, and their kids. It's the three generation rule. Things like high level life insurance that you can earn interest on and things like that. Putting money into hawking products is not what wealthy people do, but a lot of us think that's what they do so when you ask someone "what would you do when you get rich" people say "invest", without any clue of what that means.
You would be an idiot to take money out of your daughters mouth and give it to Lavar Ball to push "Big Baller Brand" because you think his ugly t shirts are going to shut down Nike or create some new mindset (mind you black athletes been doing this for years, clothing lines and kicks) but there are black tech people and scientists that have legit Biz that y'all not mentioning.
Let's take someone from our community. Nas is one of the smartest investors around. Yes Nas the rapper. Does he have a clothing line? Nah. Real money don't put money into dumb shyt like that. He invested into Bevel, apps, and a lot of dope tech, a lot black owned.
It don't matter who you are, you can't carry an athletic brand alone. Name one person that couldve.
Lebron? You do realize the "King" logo, 500 million in advertising budget for commercials and print media, overseas camps and China tours, and massive shoe distribution deals ( oh yea that LBJ don't gotta pay for) is the reason he is so wealthy now, and such a big name. Marketing ain't just about what you can do in your sport, and ownership isn't always about having your name on an LLC. That's just feel good crap. Lebron's lifetime deal will outway anything BBB could ever do, str8 cash, and LB is building dope ass businesses in Ohio and Florida.
Hell, even Floyd Mayweather got offices and building here in DC, no lie. These dudes making bank, some raggedy clothing line ain't changing nobodies game.
And before you respond Mr. Investor, post a picture of the $50s you invested into buying a BIg Baller T shirt - they have been available online for awhile
