After looking for partnership with big sneaker companies such as Nike, Under Armour and Adidas and being declined, Lavar Ball and his son Lonzo Ball have debuted Big Baller Brand’s first sneaker, Lonzo Ball’s signature shoe the “ZO2 Prime”. I know your wondering, well how is Ball making history with his sneaker? Easy, Lonzo Ball’s first signature sneaker will retail for $495, more than Stephen Curry, Micheal Jordan, LeBron James and Kobe Bryant’s each first signature shoe. So far the sneaker has received mixes reviews based on the look but many including NBA hall of famer Shaquille O’ Neal aren’t to pleased with the high retail price. Lavar Ball doesn’t seem phased, he let the World knew on Thursday afternoon, “If you cant afford them, your not a Big Baller”. Not only does Lonzo Ball have a new sneaker, he also has the ” ZO2 Slide” which retail at $220.
