Lonzo debuted a new colorway of the Big Baller Brand ZO2 in a Kids Foot Locker commercial.
Pre-orders for the first colorway of the Big Baller Brand ZO2 ended today but Lonzo is keeping things rolling by debuting this new colorway of his first signature model.
Shown here in a ‘Triple Black’ colorway, this new look for the ZO2 ditches the gold inner lining as well as the gold stitching on the medial side of the upper to give the ZO2 a more refined look. It also looks like some changes were made to the eyelets, and another triple B logo was added on the fuse overlay.
There is no official word on when or if these will release and for how much but we’ll keep you updated on any additional information.
Who knows, maybe Big Baller Brand has something big planned for if when Lonzo gets drafted by the Lakers.
If they didn’t have fake Boost, I’d almost want a pair. If I was rich.
Yeah that faux boost is one of the few things that ruins the shoe. As well as copying the Kobe silouhette and CLB16 mid-sole. Its not very original, more of a remix of shoes. As well as the designer-priced price tag. But to be fair the Kobe low-top silouhette has been used by Chinese brand in the Tony Parker, Delly series but they don’t cost a mortgage payment.
If adidas wanted to be dicks they could take BBB to court for copy infringement (I think that’s what it’s called).
True.
Trash. Its a kobe knockoff. The only saving grade may be it’s comfort and playability but at 500 bucks that’s a moot point.
I hope all the best for this young man, AND his father. It will be a wonderful story if all of this goes well. The Muhammad Ali/Don King/Floyd Mayweather personae of Lavar Ball is downright hysterical. This sort of deal is what makes the NBA the envy of all professional team sports. It has face value, name recognition, something the NFL does not allow, and then is beginning to suffer because of it. The MLB has taken notice, and all of a sudden, home runs are becoming a great thing again. The Ball family has shined a light on to the NBA during the off season, stealing thunder from the other sports. For those of us who are fans of the NBA, this is a great thing.
Thoughts on the possible performance of these, anyone? I predict it’ll be like a phylon Kobe with a couple fit and stability issues strewn about. Looks like it’ll do alright, though, like a budget Nike. But you never know; maybe it’ll surprise everyone.
As for the new look, it looks better than the first but that fake boost is still hilarious. If you’ve ever seen fake NMDs this looks exactly the same.
I don’t care how well they fit or play. For 500 bucks i better be able to shove food in them after midnight and have them sprout little zo2’s that will eventually grow into more basketball shoes in perpetuity. For 500 bucks i better catch them violating each other in the middle of the night and 9 months later a tiny pair better show up like a baby kitten only to grow into an equally awesome pair of kicks. For 500 bucks they better do my laundry.
I’m asking about the performance alone. Since this is 500 I wouldn’t get it even if it was the GOAT, but I’m just speculating on performance here.
I do think its great that this family is trying to do it on their own without going with a major corporation, but that price tag is not consumer friendly. They’re only going to make a limited number of them for people that ordered, though, so its not exactly mass produced to reduce cost.
Performance wise.. I don’t think its any good. Reason is; have we seen any of the Balls actually play in them? Lonzo worked out with Lakers in adidas and so does Melo in his AAU game. I think BBB Lonzo 2 ATM is a designer casual shoe. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Lonzo not play in them in the season..Unless BBB fine tunes and put some science into it to prevent Lonzo hurting himself in the shoe. Lonzo getting injured while wearing these will be bad for the brand and his family. A shoe won’t cause injuries but it helps prevent injuries.
Aside from the fact that they look like k mart kobes, I’m simply unimpressed with them and everyone involved in them. Dad said if you can’t afford them you ain’t a baller… well great you eliminated 100% of the children who you could be a role model for. Awesome? Add to that as everyones homie @mrfomersimpson says, it’s not what you wear that makes you a baller, it’s how you wear it. I’ll take some k mart catapult shoes first thanks.
Yeah, it better play at least decent, because bad shoes will make your feet hurt, and in the worst case scenario they could cause injury. I grew up wearing x brands from walmart and stuff, so I experienced that crap. Whoever is making the shoe better have some previous experience if they want these to be played on court, and they should test the hell out of them.
looks like sketchers burst
Promise you this, they won’t be $500 when they release. It was just a marketing ploy that every1 fell for…rather smart really as it was free advertisement for them.
They’ll probably perform as well as you average Nike bball shoe tbh and retail at around the same price.
pppfffffffffffffftttttttt. even chinese knock-offs are better than this garbage.
We know, and they probably know they didn’t cook up a completely thought-out performance shoe. LaVar pretty much sees it as quote-on-quote, “stitches and glue”. I don’t know why the media has to beat these things to death with the obvious prescriptions.
I hope Lonzo pans out to his potential. Talk about living a dream. He’s a Laker, and straight up made himself exclusive to them at the risk of possibly not being drafted.
Some people pay $500 Bucks for poorly constructed Jordans with cheap leather and paint that will chip within 2 months of consistent wear with ABSOLUTELY NO TECH IN THEM.
So I really don’t wanna hear about price complaints. Sneaker heads have created a market for this shoe. BBB has entered the market. To sit here and ridicule the price is idiotic.
If they’re a performance dud…then guess what? They’ll be on par with certain overpriced Nikes and Adidas! Nothing new!
not really.
The only problem with your thought process is it doesn’t take into account the fact that sneakerheads some with their effects and ask the major brands have shifted both in quality and price point. Your right, dudes were buying overpriced jordans and what hedge you but when quality became an issue that couldn’t be ignored anymore things changed. This is different in so many ways, most importantly it’s arrogance. No one can say these are worth 495 under any circumstance, becausr theyre simply not.
besides, who the heck is BBB ? so-called sneakerheads don’t buy out a no-named brand.
They do, just not for theft prices
More than any other shoe, it would be fun to have FP deconstruct these shoes.
don’t do delly like that
These are promoted thru Kids Foot Locker? than they will probably retail for $329-349. A bargain for a premium brand that my child will grow out of in 6/8 months (sarcasm)
With that being said…TRASH!
Lavar is the #blackdonaldtrump
I am a Lakers fan & hope the best for the Ball Boys but yeesh already tired of #speakitintoexistence
It is like one of those Team Jordan Spizikes that remixes classic Jordans, but instead they take cues from Kobe’s, Adidas, and Skechters.
would BBB give nightwing, et al, to test it all before its release date? would nightwing, et al, purchase ZO2? they have it all in production, they’re just sticking with their promise to wait till Thanksgiving…come on, BBB
