You can now own Big Baller Brand shoes, but they’ll cost you

He may not have gotten his $1 billion deal, but LaVar Ball finally has his shoes.

You can have them, too—but it’ll cost you.

Big Baller Brand, the “Official Brand of the Ball Family,” released photos of its first pairs of shoes on Thursday, and while the actual designs were met with mixed emotions on Twitter, the sticker shock was widespread.

Big Baller’s loose! If you can’t afford the ZO2’S, you’re NOT a BIG BALLER!

Shoe prices start at a whopping $495 and go as high as $1,195 if you want them signed and accompanied by a LED shoebox.

For those wishing to rock socks with their sandals, there is also a pair of slides for a slightly more modest $220.

For anyone following the Ball Family saga, these shoes feel like they were a long time in the making. LaVar Ball has been making plenty of headlines over the past year as his son, Lonzo Ball, is poised to be a top pick in the upcoming NBA Draft. Younger sons LaMelo and LiAngelo are also stars in the making, according to their dad.

I told my boys that you’re born to go pro. Everything is lined up for you to do that, from your genes to your last name.

We can win any kind of way, but the key word is we win. Over and over again.

Recently, LaVar Ball was reportedly asking for a $1-billion co-branding contract from Nike, Adidas and Under Armour in an effort to license the Big Baller Brand. He was turned down by all three.
