I swear we are a lovingly fan base of our former players not named Orton or porter, but I would absolutely disown him due to the disdain I have for his dad.
 
Hell,, I won't pay no more than $30 today for shoes.. Last pricey shoes I got were John Walls,, after the price dropped.. May wear them twice a year and being 7 years old,, look new as they did when bought.. They'll last me at least another 20 years..

These were $8.95 at the local department when i was a kid. they were top of the line in bball shoes.
The mark-up was a little higher in my hometown...i seem to remember them being $9.95, and my Pops opting for the $4.95 pair that had those hard vinyl soles....slapped the floor like you had a couple of pieces of plywood strapped to your feet, and a jump-stop was akin to being on skates in an ice rink.
 
I go to Carnival shoe store. Spin that wheel and get a steal of a deal
Lol it has to of been atleast 10!years since I heard a show carnival spin the wheel reference lol. By the way, if you ever sell your "you hush" t shirts sign me up for two please

Sounds like red ball jets or keds.
 
WTF. 500 DOLLARS??? I have paid 280 for jordans and felt like a moron but 500 for those? c'mon man . Those cost like 10 dollars to make I bet.


Had a friend that played professionally and he was telling me about how he was discussing shoes with a teammate who had his name branded. Those costs were around $7 for the shoe. Marketing is the biggest cost of a shoe.
Its kinda like potato chips. In the smaller bags the bags cost more than the chips do.
 
His son could have signed with any of the big shoe companies if he wasn't involved. This dude has to be losing money and have millions of dollars in loans out there. His next kid is not a one and done and might not even make it to the NBA.
 
Y'all are under estimating what shoe nuts will buy/spend

Guarantee he's sold a good Anount already.


Might even be worth some $$ one day.

Your crazy! Yeah they might be rare someday because there won't be many out there because no one else bought any. And they still won't be worth anything.
 
All I know is the tongue on that shoe has to be as long as Donald Trump's power tie....it has to be...jmusao
 
Wait are they basketball shoes or running shoes? At the end he goes to the park running uphill for what appears will be a long distance run. Better not use these as running shoes or you'll destroy your feet, shins, etc.

I heard once that the cost of making a pizza was about a dollar, or maybe less. They make a killing on those things.
 
495 lmao but hold on there's more you can get the ZO2 Wets for 995 comes with a glass box and an autograph from lonzo himself. Really going all in on a player I think flops in the league. He's probably burning his first years checks on starting his shoe line too
 
I am going to laugh my ass off if Lonzo doesn't make it in the NBA and there is no guarantee that he will. There have been several high draft picks that have flamed out after a couple of years. If Fox can do what he did to him what do you think the NBA guards will do? I guess they can donate the shoes to Goodwill if he doesn't make it.
 
Revenge on UCLA, proving we'd learned to play team defense and watching Fox shred theirs was just absolutely beautiful. That game, our last victory, was one I'll always remember. Fox had a Ball.
 
It wouldn't surprise me to see a guy like wall buy a pair just to play against ball in them while hanging 50 and messing around and getting a triple double then give them to an underprivileged kid in the stands or Oscar pistorius
