arronnov U know how much Money MJ and LeBron has made from their shoe deals? Lol lebron signed a 90 million dollar shoe contract without even stepping on the court when he first came into the league. Lonzo and Lavar are making peanuts compared to that by going their own route..It's a partnership when it comes to players signing with company's like Nike, they get the best of the best, with advertising, and the quality of the shoe, and the players are handsomely rewarded, so you're tripping acting like players get the short end of the stick...Lonzo could of made millions by signing with a big shoe company, there's a good chance his pops cost him millions

Gary Threat usually when u cut out a middle man, the price goes down. more power to him tho I guess. if he can find morons to pay 500 for his shoes, can't blame a guy for making money. the real idiots are the ones buying the shoes... if they end up selling.

[@johnnyhandsome4796]

[@gulinp1]

you won't become successful if your priority is to buy some college boy shoes that more people know only because of his father. Nobody who values money will spent $500 on basketball shoes in general, even if you can afford them. Late ,great Dražen Petrovic once said that it doesn't matter how much money you have, at the end of a day you can only sleep in one bedroom and eat one dinner at time. He had to invest lot of money to even start his brand, if Lonzo flops at NBA his project is dead and he is stuck in debts, that's why smart shoe companies like Nike never give that high first contracts to their athletes. You don't want to invest a lot into unproven commodity. Lebron James, one of greatest athletes of our generation signed with NIke lifetime deal 12 years AFTER his rookie season.

Actually his strategy is very good, by having his shoe price at 495 he has caught a lot of atention, and by releasing it before lonzo is even drafted, eliminates the possibility of the shoe not selling cause of lonzo not playing very well and at that price if only 6,000 people buy the shoe, that is over 3 million dollars.

Corporations will make sure he doesn't win by hook or crook because if he does it will take market share away from companies like Nike, Under Armour, and Adidas who are already competing against each other. If these companies allow Lavar to succeed what is to stop anybody behind Lavar from doing the same thing without going through these companies. They will find something on him from his past or twist his words to destroy him.

Lavar probably giving Joy, Shannon and Skip free shoes just to come on show to promote shoes more

[@patriarch_1776]

"The Ball Era"...Lavar is a genius! I support him paving his own way for his boys...I hope he succeeds and show these people how to really "ball"

[@favourflav2200]

Lavar Ball is a smart man 😂😂

[@mrwong7574]

favourflav 2 giving him too much credit lol. He woulda made more just signing with nike. He is an egomaniac living off his sons talent

[@thebestdaddybishes8478]

mr wong If you believe the reports out there the shoe isnt selling as well as they anticipated Under 300 have sold and thats before you factor in expenses. He could be losing money.

[@favourflav2200]

TheBestDaddy Bishes I just want u to take 500 times 1000 if lavar can get 1000 rich white kids to buy his shoe and his son is in the NBA he's making profit no matter what

[@mrwong7574]

favourflav 2 production and overhead is tough. Being an entrepeneur is stuff. He wouldve had to pay out 0$ in capital/overhead and made millions by signing with nike. Instead he does this. He will be rich because his sons basketball talent but he is not making smart business decisions so far. I assume he is losing $ on this shoe project

[@mrwong7574]

favourflav 2 not factoring in the net gain. You need to purchase labor/materials. Its not a great investment. Theres a reason 99% just sign with nike, adidas. James harden and kevin durant have 200+ million dollar shoe deals with adidas and nike where every penny is a net gain. Prove yourself on the court as a bball player and people will hand you money. If im Lonzo ball then I stop trusting my dad with my finances. He wouldnt even let lonzo get a good agent at first! Wonder why? Its because an agent will call out how out of place lavars business decisions are

[@rickc1102]

Big ballers also should brush their teeth

[@nathanaelmaurice9270]

how did you come to that conclusion?

[@DavidJones-ih7eh]

Rick C haha😍

[@nathanaelmaurice9270]

nice thank you.

[@mg19cal]

0:30 Skip is a certified troll, but his reaction here is priceless. Full "hmmm" at the end and everything

[@proballa27]

he's insane and a bit of an egomaniac but he's not stupid.

[@deviantanomaly]

Scrappy Velazquez This is genuis what he did actually

[@jreel]

Mr Swag 8843 People are only looking at the price and how Lavar ruined any chance of Lonzo getting a shoe deal right now. Thing is, this dude is playing the media like a fiddle. He is striking while the iron is out. He is getting so much media attention and he isn't even a professional athlete. His sons are pretty much the talk of basketball in general and knowing that, he is doing the dirty working promoting the brand and getting it out there. I heard they sold a good amount of units already. No sponsorhips or anything yet the shoe is receiving so much attention, it pretty much went viral once it was announced. He invested in his brand and it's starting to pay off, regardless of how wreckless he may seem.

[@KreepyRecords]

+Scrappy Velazquez dont hate the player hate the game lol

[@thischeeseburger]

Ok nice, so he got the media's attention and a platform to promote. But wouldn't you say he's some what destroying his brand, making it almost comical? BBB will never be on the same level as the elite sports wear companies UNLESS (and this is just a probability) Lonzo and his bros get MVP, rings or other NBA accolades

[@dgib9449]

C that's what he banking on when he had a interview with skip yesterday

[@uthamanj]

For $495.00, these shoes better make you be able to dunk, shoot 3's, shoot free throws, and dribble better........

[@txup92g33]

uthamanj buy a pair and let us know.

[@uthamanj]

I think I'll pass.

[@Imvinniex]

uthamanj it's gonna break your ankles

[@Shonan2024]

I want season tickets with these shoes.

[@ninja0446]

uthamanj they better transform you into a Lebron/Kobe/MJ hybrid for $495

[@HoopDreamz]

LOL. Lavar the GOAT. "There's only two people better than me, & I'M BOTH OF THEM" -Lavar Ball

[@moreearnings9560]

Lavar is a genius

[@9829798297]

I love this guy he is practicing the America way and that is legacy wealth building.

[@dacreativebrinson66]

Hamilton bingo!

[@rickjames8916]

Hamilton Build that wealth honey, I respect everyone out there trying to be an owner with their own business.

[@ChaleeJr]

When lavar said that window/mirror analogy, Shannon was looking like “my grand momma used to say that” 😂😂😂

[@SkillDoctor]

Like him love him or hate him he changes the game. More kids will do this coming out of college

[@chriszimmerman6313]

Skill Doctor no they're not haha

[@SkillDoctor]

yes they will who wouldn't want to come in the league with 100% ownership of there own brand

[@kmula6699]

Unshakable confidence makes most ppl uncomfortable

[@henryr5469]

K Mula you deserve top comment

[@weiggy]

K Mula delusion makes people uncomfortable

[@23jakesmith23]

Supreme ignorance makes it even worse

[@69incher]

when youre too dumb to understand delusion

[@seanp2434]

K Mula there's a difference between confidence and arrogance

[@issacf4416]

This dude elevates everybody's mind game.. got me deep-cleaning my house right now! I'm on my way to being the best! Lol

[@MikeakaJay]

I really hope this guy is successful. Its about time someone saw the bigger picture as far as sponsorships etc go. All of these athletes are being short changed when you really look at it. Imagine if Lebron was paid what he made Nike over the last 14 years or Jordan was paid what hes made over the last 32 years!!!!

[@spcfl1461]

Dubya Emdee Lebron just signed a billion dollar shoe deal with Nike

[@MikeakaJay]

Yeah that billion dollar deal is over the course of his life. Don't you think by the time Lebron is 90 years old he would generated more than a billion dollars for Nike? Hes being handsomely paid for sure..but being robbed aswell in the grand scheme of things.

[@vincentphillips2577]

Dubya Emdee how cares about those athletes, they actually make way too much money.

[@theadmiral460]

& Nike RARELY gives them stock in the company as well..lots of cash..but no or little stock..Heck Jordan Brand isnt even majority owed by Jordan himself..we are sheep

[@aprildeath1015]

Sorry to say but this dude is a genius. The money he won't be making in sales is money he's saving from advertising and marketing, that otherwise would cost a lot more than the sales he'd hypothetically make. If Lonzo manages to at least be a decent NBA player Lavar will be rich in no time. Really well played...

[@assierberhane4515]

coaches trainers. dude has no skill in ball. he's sorry as he'll football is his sport

[@charlesmeans6767]

exactly, nobody gets this much free advertising on a retail product Plus with his price margin he can sell so many less pairs than anyone else.

[@CoolStuff-yr8ye]

He already is worth $4.5 million.

[@shaneanderson1904]

AprilDeath101 that makes zero sense.. thats why no one bought those pay less shoes. ball will be a bust in the NBA and you wont hear about him ever again

[@marpettwades7913]

Yes!!! Ur pretty smart urself

[@Ohms_Won]

His Westbrook comment aged like fine wine.

[@tyreklesesne4125]

These shoes look like 2k gone give u a locker code jus to get em

[@CristianGarcia-bh1ds]

TyRek Lesesne 2k need permission so use his shoe or else they get sued

[@tyreklesesne4125]

Cristian Garcia lol it gone cost then a billions dollars per sole nd 1 million lace

[@johntom7237]

TyRek Lesesne locker code for generics

[@Thesmokedon]

Lavars a G gotta love him

[@clutchhighlights5876]

Nothing but Respect for this Lavar Ball. He did not let the negativity affect him despite he has negative brand, but hey we live in america, everyone is allowed to run their business however they want. R E S P E C T !

[@otbway]

This guy is like Trump...Every time you attack him, you make him stronger...That shaq comment was deep...If I was Shaq I would never say one thing about Ball ever again.

[@cd2ogz1]

otbway true.. he low key snatched Shaq soul with that comment 😱

[@naklovesjesus3204]

yea that.... your son don't wear your own shoe comment was killa

[@svs09fsu]

Trump is an idiot! Look at his twitter he can't even spell tap.

[@the_StennisFactor]

otbway LOL

[@showtimelakers1795]

Today I learned MJ isn't Lonzo Ball😭😭😭

[@Phike9391]

Already made a quarter mill if he has sold 495 shoes

[@anthonycarlyle3092]

Free publicity!! He markets to the 2% and HEY, it may just WORK! 100,000 pairs (over time) x $495.. do the math. GOTTA GIVE HIM PROPS!

[@jasirvinmann8036]

True but production costs are higher than you think

[@Mrthingythang74]

Jasirvin Mann plus import taxes insurance on shipping, taxes on income, copyright on designs, trademarks on shoe names, trademark on tech names and process of making tech. It's waaaay more than people think

[@thebestdaddybishes8478]

Jamal B Can you just throw out a guesstimation? Thats why hes taking out preorders in the shoe so he can afford to make them? Im surprised that no one mentioned the "All sales are final". I dont know about you but id feel worried about dropping close to $500 on something i cant exchange or get a refund on. How about u guys?

[@anthonycarlyle3092]

IF he sells that many...

[@thebestdaddybishes8478]

Anthony Carlyle If you believe the reports out there which i do, they're saying that only about 210 shoes have sold LOL. Not really that good for as much publicity that hes gotten.

[@mauricerousseau6053]

with all this hype I can't wait for laver ball to play in the NBA....... wait I mean lonzo ball

[@MrBrokentowels]

Not gonna lie. This guy is a marketing genius. And the shoes look dope!!!

[@Chobani777]

gucci prada have a lot more uglier expensiver shoes than this one, just sayin

[@Mrthingythang74]

PERRY Than don't buy it

[@Ben2bwild]

PERRY Facts

[@EddiePReacts]

PERRY i dont buy those and wont buy this

[@Gruntpla]

PERRY good point

[@TheRealH2dut]

But Gucci and Prada name comes with huge status and power.

[@ThatkidfromSeattle]

You gotta respect this mans hustle for his family

[@Sandomly]

Manny being Manny Absolutely. Rappers didn't used to sell tapes out of the trunk either.....look at what that boldness and hustle created! The majors (Nike, Adidas, Under Armour) don't like this AT ALL, they despise anyone that rejects their plantation, and thinks for themselves.

[@ndn2589]

Manny being Manny bro he costing his family millions I hope it pays out

[@michaelchua8775]

Manny being Manny naw

[@OutlawStarkiller]

Manny being Manny How hustle is for himself. And he doesn't care if he ruins his son's career

[@atlien1988]

Rio415 Phil Nike sold shoes out his car lol
