My #BigBallerBrand kicks came in the mail today ✊

[4 Dimensional]

Big baller talk is a sensitive issue tho. If you genuinely don't like the look of them, people will jump on you and call you a hater for no reason.

You cant have an opinion on topics like these

You can have an opinion. You're not responsible for how it make others feel.

The hate from our own is saddening.

That's setting expectations that are unrealistic, imo.

Just because a person is black doesn't me we're suppose to support it. I'll never set myself up like that with anyone.

 

[REDLINE]

Why be upset? Just don't buy them.

You wanna support him buy a hat or tshirt..

If he finds a market for idiots to by 500 sneakers then good for him....Kanye found some fools and fools are born everyday so Team Ball should find some..

By the same token nobody was raising a fist in the air screaming support our own when Marbury created an affordable shoe..had every excuse not to buy them..

The truth is Starburys were not a status symbol and black folks too caught up in flossing....want other people to see how well they doing and look what I have...

500 ball shoes but can't make a layup

150 work boots with no job

1000 dollar purse with pennies inside it

12 cylinder car running on 3 cylinders cause they can't afford a tuneup..

Jordans for infants fucking up their developing feet

Don't be mad....what they eat don't make you shit.....just make sure you teacheck your children better.

Starbury's were wack and not a quality basketball shoe, that's my opinion and the truth. I appreciate his efforts on making an affordable shoe for all.

Many of us wanted to support him but I can't justify a $500 price tag. And no, I'm not buying a shirt or hat.

 

[ballscout1]

You should've bought them playboi

Never but I don't buy lebron s or kobe or anything overpriced cause it's a status symbol..

Proper tool for the job.....if you only hooping in pickup games then don't show up looking like boogalo from above the rim....and you child doesn't have Internet access cause your baby momma might use it too

Us as Black people generally root for and support another black person. If we turn on the tv and boxing's on with a Black and the other is not, we usually root for or "Support" the Black person. If a team has a Black QB or a
Black head coach, we usually root for or support the Black coach or QB.

Therefore, when a Black man has a clothing company, we generally root for or support that company. Doesn't mean we have to purchase anything but we usually want that company to succeed.

Starbuck was 15 dollars...using same materials molds and factories as nike..

Buy em and donate em.

But there was no ground swell to support them...that is a lie. .

And BBB aint wack and how do you know they quality. ..

Support him why ?

Now when he does the tour of his factory on real sports and the designers executives and line workers are black and he is supporting HBCUS and sending black students to college..

I'll support him....if what he is doing only benefits him and his family fuck supporting him.

I refused to ever buy Jordan brand when a team from the James Jordan boys and girls club on the west side played in a basketball tournament at McCormick place...they had the same tshirt on but each kid had different shorts and sneakers..

MJ showed up with a team of white kids from highland park and they all were matching with the latest Jordan gear ..

If he wasnt supporting the Westside kids from the center named for his daddy then I wasn't supporting him...

My color but not my kind....

 

[BK Pop]

Them shitz look like if KD shoe and Kobe shoe and LeBron shoe ran a train on Steph shoe

Starbury's weren't a good basketball shoe, I could do a quick search and show you but I'm interested in showing negativity to Marbury's brand.

The BBB basketball shows is a rebranded BrandBlack basketball shoe, it's already been tested and reviewed. It's a good basketball shoe.

I understand why you don't support MJ by buying his shoes, if I had that experience I'd do the same.

I can't speak about any of Lavar's business dealing or intentions, I only see what's on the surface like everyone else.

True.

That unearned support is just like giving votes to democrats..

Clarence Thomas was supported because he was black

Sheriff Clark was supported because he was black and democrat

SupportING someone based on skin color and not their actions is dumb..

MJ never supported black people but is held up like a god,even when compared to lebron who had supported black people his whole career. .

Colin supports black people...

It should take more than skin pigment ro earn support..

Fair enough..

I'll reserve judgement on his intentions until he shows them..

If he isn't benefitting black folks then he is just another benefitting off of black folks. .

I don't need you to look up stabury, I purchased some and donating them and the quality was far superior to what the kids were wearing...

I hope Lavar ends up being someone that deserves support but only time will tell

Btw most people buying overpriced sneakers are playing basketball in them and they damn sure aint hooping in no 500 dollar shoe

You're playing semantics, we're speaking in generally rooting for a Black person off of gp. Yes if a person doesn't deserve our support we'll remove it.

Nope not semantics at all...I don't give support or respect until it's earned...I've lived to long and seen too much to do it any othe way..

And when the first think I see is a white spouse there will be even more scrutiny. ..

That's true too.

Both points you and @Picasso made are true.

I've supported black just because they were black, especially in sports when it comes to coaches.

At the same time I'm critical of doing that because of the points you made.

I believe there is no absolute in this case.

I do as well, but I know that my benefit of doubt is probably seeing if that person is someone I can align with.

Lol it was bad. But the shoe is just as bad.

It is such an old game yet folks think they are the only one who understands the rules.

You buy $495 shoes to show off.

It doesn't matter how they look or feel or whateva.

Big Baller Brand is for folks that want to display they are big ballers.

Aint nuthin small about the word Big.

Too many folks commenting on shit that ain't in their lane.

Imma older cat that don't hoop so I dont buy basketball shoes.
My lane is walking shoes by Skechers, Nike or Adidas. That's my lane.

Lavar ain"t got shit for me but I support his existence in the game.

That's right...just support the man, don't shit on him...they don't want him to succeed.

I bought a pair of Starburys just on GP...I haven't worn them yet, but I'm still deciding whether to wear them or keep them as a collector's item and sell them later (somebody will want them). If I do decide to wear them, I don't give a fuck what anyone says. Remember, some people don't even have shoes to wear.

 

[NightMare Paint]

This or those fucked up UA.

Why black folks are always hyper critical of our own while passively letting cacs get away with bullshit?

Brandblack is ran by a half-Japanese CAC and a whole CAC. Enough with the overdramatic and nonsensical "we hate on our own" rigamarole. I'm going to be looking for you dudes to have this same energy for Dunkmans.

Yogi Berra is that you?

 

[LordSinister]

Just like some Porsche, Lexus, Infinity and Acura's are rebranded VW, Toyota, Nissan and Honda's.

Hell, a few Ferraris have Nissan headlights. Are they not worth the $?

The market has women buying $3000 purses with little logos on them and regular ass shoes for 1k with a red sole.

It is what it is.

Most comfortable shoe I ever wore for just walking is New Balance.....very light and comfortable

 

[phanatic]

I don't hate them. They are no more ugly or useless as a fashion item than every other high priced sneaker out there.

True...but I can't get past the fact that the heads of New Balance and Under Armour was swinging from 45's nuts when he won.
