West Coast rapper Game and Slim Thug have no shame in dropping a grip on future NBA superstar Lonzo Ball‘s new ZO2: Prime By Lonzo Ball sneakers. The duo have defended spending hundreds on the kicks.
Game and Slim went to Instagram Wednesday (May 10) to justify their purchases.
"Look what Lonzo did for UCLA. He sold that place out and it hasn't been sold out in 10 years." — @Lavarbigballer pic.twitter.com/0vbkIT3eGe

After the shoes launched for pre-sale, sales mounted up to well over 250 pairs.
Well, according to a report from NiceKicks.com, who did some sleuthing, the answer (for the first day, at least) is 263. Of those, 210 were the “regular” $495 version, and 53 were the special, autographed version that came in at $995. If you’re doing the math at home, that’s over $150,000. That may not sound like much, but for an independent company, marketing a player who still hasn’t even been drafted, it’s pretty impressive. (CBS Sports)
The kicks are expected to turn into a top-tier choice in the sneaker world.
BBB is aiming for Lonzo’s signature sneaker to tap into a new market—above the athletic performance kicks from the likes of Nike, Jordan, adidas and Under Armour, but below the high-end designer shoes of Gucci, Prada or Louis Vuitton. The ZO2 Prime comes with a $495 price tag. There is also a limited ZO2 WET Autographs edition, which will come in a key-locked glass box with a floor mirror, LED lights and an autograph from the Chino Hills prodigy himself. It will cost $995.

Look like some 310 renditions… Other than that they look played out 2001 fashion trends like BOFF!
I respect them for doing it their way. And not taking the easy money to be Nike or Adidas bitch. Yeah the dad is a asshole but I respect what they are trying to do. Good luck

Respect the fact that it is a Blackman who loves his sons unapologetically. Respect the fact how hard it is to design a shoe let alone launch a whole line. Respect the fact he is teaching and endorsing the legal hustle. As well as keeping the Family aspect in tact.
Think about it if your father said you was better than LeBron James that shit gonna motivate the shit out of you.
