Just got tracking for my BBB shorts.
Might snatch up 2-3 of their shirts in the near future.

Said you were going to buy and followed through.
Personally don't care for the whole BBB thing but can respect you put money where mouth was.
Definitely give the thread a detailed review when in hand.
Very curious. Good luck.

There's actually an estimated two week delay on orders being shipped out for the shoes from the November 29th or whatever release date...so you might have just dropped $500 on a pair of shoes you may not have in your hands til January

How will y'all explain to your family and friends what you're wearing? I know it don't feel right for any grown man to say "I'm wearing a Big Baller Brand shirt/shoes/slides."

Come on now, Big Ballers don't have to explain anything to anyone. Like the dude said earlier, name is like those "Big Johnson", "Coed Naked" from way back. Seriously though, that kid better get directly paid and save that cash. Otherwise...

Hahahaha, Honestly LOL when I seen this post. Maybe I am different from most but if you feel some type of way because you need to explain/justify what you are wearing than that is your insecurity. Maybe you didn't mean it how it came across in your post but it sounds like you need confirmation from the public before you can wear what you wwnt to wear.

To be honest I havent thought about it as my initial plans were to have them and hold on to them in the event that Lonzo will be as great as he has the potenial to be and at that point I think the shoe will be worth a lot.
With thay said once I have them in I dont see myself being able to not wear them so depending on the sizing and cushioning I might try them on court or just keep them as a casual shoe.

I want to touch on this post and go on a small rant......
First off I am not a fan of LaVar and how he put all the pressure on Lonzo during his college season, as a father I just dont think its productive to lonzo and he would've had a big enough bullseye on his back but thats just my opinion.
Ppl seem to only see what LaVar is doin and saying and not seeing the bigger picture. First off is the price point, the obvious reason for the price is a combination of 2 things.
1.Since he is just starting a mass production shoe his cost will be much much higher than other companies (UA,Nike,Adidas) who can offer a player sig shoe for $110-180....they are playing with house money.
2. If he came out with a shoe that was $110 there would be zero buzz and it would lose to the other big boys in marketing and exposure but now this shoe is getting ALL headlines and grabbing attention from everyone of all tax brackets.
IMO him selling a shoe for $500 when it cost him $200 to make is no different then nike selling foamposite for $230 when it cost them under $30 to make.
I bought these because I like to be an individual and wear stuff that when you walk into the gym you don't see on everybody else. I have bought Anta, Li Ning, Brandblack, Peak and various other brands and I can tell you I prefer some of those models over the trusted Nike,Jordan,adidas and UA heavy hitters.

i agree with that last bit, i also have shoes from brands you've listed and it's interesting when you see their faces and no one knows what you're wearing.

Nikes has been making shoes for 45 years and u gonna come out the gate with your first shoe thats not original at all for 500 bucks lol
Also....nike...adidas...etc...have shoes that are affordable to those with lesser means.

what makes Lonzos ball cost $200 to make? I just can't imagine the shoe costing that much to make they are pretty much just copying/taking mold and last from Chinese factories that produce Nike/Adidas/UA
and Nike has to pay for a bunch of other ancillary things like athletes, marketing, advertisement, new tech research, etc...
this shoe doesn't even cost them anything in terms of marketing and chances are they've only paid for the prototype, they are taking peoples money before making the shoes so in the end they really aren't going to put out much from their own pockets
and it's no refunds so if they deliver a defective item, you are out of luck and they still got your hard earned cash

They're making them in the US which makes the cost of everything a lot more for starters

Are they being made in the US? I am not sure I read that anywhere
But even then, New Balance makes their shoes in the US and it probably cost them a few dollars more than Nike to make.
I just don't think that each shoe will cost $200 per pair, even if the smaller number of production means it's also going to cost more, $200 is just an absurd amount for production cost.
What are the sandals going to cost to make $100?

I'm sure his productions costs are WAY higher than you think. When you're making stuff at such a small scale the factories charge you an arm & a leg.
