Lonzo Ball‘s first signature shoe dropped yesterday and created a media firestorm. The cause: their hefty $495 price tag; and thats just for the shoes. You can also get a Lonzo Ball-signed pair for $995 or a pair of flip flops for $220.
I’m all for entrepreneurship and trying to do your own thing but $495 for a pair of shoes? Really? Are the Balls really going to be that much better than the three pairs of Jordan’s I could buy for the same price? Probably Definitely not.
This morning on ESPN radio’s The Dan Le Batard Show, Lavar Ball defended his bulky price tag.
