If $495 is just a little too much for you to pay for a pair of Lonzo Ball’s sneakers, perhaps you will be interested in saving $100 by purchasing his younger brother LaMelo’s instead.
LaMelo Ball, who is just 16, has become the first high school player ever to endorse his own sneaker. The “Melo Ball 1” retails for a cool $395. Big Baller Brand released a video through Slam Online promoting the new kicks:

Earlier in the year, Los Angeles Lakers rookie Lonzo Ball became the first ever player with an independently-made sneaker heading into the draft. That shoe, the ZO2, retails for $495. We all saw how much fun Twitter had with Lonzo’s kicks, so we can only imagine what the reaction will be to a 16-year-old having $395 shoes.
