Lonzo Ball has a new signature ZO2.19 shoe from his father’s Big Baller Brand. The shoe is also priced at $200 — a huge drop from the original $495 price for the first ZO2 shoes.
But before anyone rushes to drop $200 on Lonzo’s sneakers, there are a couple things to know hidden at the bottom of the Big Baller Brand site.
Here’s a look at the site listing for the new shoe. The “add to cart” icon is at the top of the listing, which would have the customer thinking the shoes are currently for sale and available to ship. They are not.
The user would need to scroll down to the bottom of the page to see that the shoes will not ship until February of next year, and Big Baller Brand is already standing by its no-refund policy before any consumer gets a chance to receive the shoe.
It’s not a good look when a company hides four-month delay at the bottom of the page and makes no mention of it in the checkout portal. On top of that, the no-refund policy is just adding to the red flags.
This is the same issue that the few people who actually spent the $495 on the ZO2 encountered last year.
Customers received shoes in the wrong size. The shoes fell apart. Others paid $1,000 for shoes that were supposed to come with an LED case only to get a different shoe with no LED case at all.
The Better Business Bureau gave Big Baller Brand an F rating for a reason, and the company once again appears ready to keep customers waiting for months on its second flagship sneaker.
