>About 500 pairs of the three models of shoes and sandals were ordered in the first week, according to inventory data in the source code for the company’s website.
>But if the first week of sales are any indication, not many big ballers are interested in owning the low-cut black shoes emblazoned with a triple-B logo.
>About 500 pairs of the three models of shoes and sandals were ordered in the first week, according to inventory data in the source code for the company’s website.
>Through Thursday afternoon, those orders include 356 pairs of the base-model ZO2 Primes — though almost a third of the orders were for size 8.5 shoes — and 121 pairs of the ZO2: Wet. The $995 shoes are autographed in gold ink and come with an LED-lit display case.
>In one 24-hour period earlier this week, 33 pairs of the shoes and flip-flops were ordered
Someone post timestamped pic of their feet wearing ZO2.
Considering they look like they cost 10$ to produce that's still a pretty good return when you're selling them at 500 a pop

but remember he allegedly turned down like $20million endorsement deals.

Big ballers literally confirmed manlets holy shit
>>77028266
Maybe there are just a lot of Big Ballers in the WNBA?
>>77028266
I wear 10.5 but am only 5'9" so don't fall for the shoe size = height meme
>>77034932
>>77028266
Maybe not manlets, but feetlets lmao
I'm 6'2" so I'm not a manlet
I'm size 13 so I'm not a footlet
>tfw 5.3"
>tfw dicklet
i would have bought them but it's $700 for a size 15

If he has a strong rookie season his bargaining power will be infinitely greater and he'll be able to sign a much more lucrative endorsement deal if he so chooses. Even without the BBB stuff, waiting until you prove yourself as a rookie to lock in that first shoe deal isn't a bad idea (assuming you're confident in your ability). If he's a top 3 rookie then this will have all been a well executed 3d chess move no matter what he does.

I'll take it I guess desu, if I didn't lift I'd be fucked with first impressions on my height though
>according to the source code
Why is access to 1. their source code and 2. inventory data through their source code so easy to come by apparently?
>>77028266
Lol. It's obviously little nigglets who's mom's are selling their stamps to buy their kids $$$ shoes. See Jordan's
>>77035036
nothing wrong with cute lil feetsies :3
Anyone else starting to feel like LaVar bit off more than he could chew with this whole Big Baller Brand thing? Maybe he should have just taken the money from Nike.
>>77035202

I thought this was understood from day one.
>>77027990
>almost a third of the orders were for size 8.5 shoes
>>77035143
1. Right click nigga
2. Wondering the same. Why would they need that information in the source code?
>>77035308
Yeah you can inspect source but usually it's just some very bare javascript and html
unless these idiots literally hired totally bottom of the barrel Indians who have their inventory information listed publicly
>>77034932
but 10.5 is still fucking small
>>77035381
It's either average or slightly above unless you fall for 4chan memes
>>77035400
i'm willing to give you average, it is in no way above.
>>77035342
Lavar probably wrote the shit himself considering how arrogant he is.
It's funny that they're only going to net $100k in profit on this shit and Lavar rebuffed $2 mil/yr offers for Lonzo.

Meanwhile Freddy Adu had a million dollar Nike deal and he literally was a has-been by 22.

Could honestly be a crash and burn, everyone's talking about how he's netting his son publicity but it's not going to be good marketing publicity if he turns into something of a laughing stock (like Mark Sanchez) or some shit
he'll be untouchable by the time it's too late
>/sp/ suddenly knows how the retail business works
They look like cheap shit you'd find in the clearance section of target. Unless youre some kind of shoe collector, buying these means youre a tool.
>>77035645
Yeah, that's the thing, even if LaVar admits ALL his sons won't be full-blown stars, at least one of them has to be in order for BBB to take off. Right now it looks like Lonzo's ceiling is "mulatto Ricky Rubio," which isn't going to cut it.

Leverage m8. Facebook offered to buy Snapchat for $3 billion in back in 2013. They said no, and now the company is worth $24 billion and each of the founders is worth $4.5 billion. Now, let's flash forward to a year from now and imagine that Lonzo has ROY level season and BBB shoes are selling briskly for a boutique clothing company. Now, those $10 mil/5 year offers just turned into $70 mil/5 year offers because Lonzo has leverage as a proven NBA performer and as a competitor in the apparel buisiness. He might not be able to sell Nike numbers, but even modest success will be enough for them to want to open up their checkbooks to prevent other players from following in Lonzo's footsteps and starting companies of their own. Now, obviously none of this will happen if he turns out to be a bust but if he turns out to be great, then this was objectively the correct move. It's all risk vs reward. Big ballers take smart, calculated risks to make big money.

>if
He has to share whatever that amounts to with his family. A deal with Nike or Adidas would have set him up for life. His dad probably cost HIM 10 mil. Eternaly cucked by pops.
>>77036186
Wasn't it kind of short-sighted to put all this on Lonzo's shoulders and then not fix certain fundamental flaws in his game, like that fucking shot of his?
breaking news: lonzo wins roty, mvp and the craig sager strong award, lakers dont make playoffs
Lonzo is how i imagine the average american will look like in 50 years
>>77036293
He's ugly as shit lol
>>77035251
That means women are ordering them which doesn't surprise me since women spend money on stupid shit all the time.

Guy has two more sons whom are NBA prospects. If Lonzo busts, he'll put it on the other two.

Guy is already an excellent marketer so I believe he knows more than you. You don't have to go to school to understand and run a business, you just have to know how to not be an idiot with money and understand how to make people want to buy your product over your competitors.
