Late last week, LaVar Ball was mercilessly mocked on the Internet for releasing Lonzo Ball’s signature sneakers with a hefty price tag.

Lavar Ball is crazy if he thinks people will buy those off brand buddies for $495. They better come with $493 in the box

Today, Ball spoke to Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe on today’s episode of Undisputed and he claims he’s sold “at least” 495 pairs on Lonzo’s Z02 shoes.
Considering the Z02’s are priced at $495 for the base and $995 for the signed versions, Lonzo is claiming he’s sold over $250k worth of shoes in a weekend.
NiceKicks.com reported over the weekend that BBB had sold about 263 pairs of shoe on their first day.
While $250k seems like a lot of money that doesn’t factor in how much it cost to make the shoe which means only LaVar and Lonzo Ball know exactly how much they profited from the venture.
