Lonzo Ball 自認要價 $495 美金的 Big Baller Brand ZO2 具有重大瑕疵

將於新賽季轉戰 Pelicans 的 Lonzo Ball 過去總穿上自家品牌 Big Baller Brand 為他打造的 ZO2，不過這雙鞋所製造的負面風波也是外界有目共睹的。Lonzo Ball 在上季頻頻傳出受傷，尤其是腳踝部位，球團認為或許就是 Big Baller Brand 球鞋所造成的，如今 Lonzo 也已確定出走，更也把手臂上 Big Baller Brand 刺青覆蓋了。

Lonzo 近期登上 LightHarted Podcast 時透露 ZO2 其實不是一雙可靠的球鞋，它是具有重大的瑕疵，但沒有人知道。「我幾乎每打一節就要換上新的一雙 ZO2，它太容易裂開，我經紀人 Darren Moore 都會準備一個包包裡頭裝進四雙備用鞋，我不得不穿上這些鞋，我們廣告都打這麼大了。」Lonzo 說道。

“No one knows the real story about them shoes though,” Ball said. “Them ZO2s I was playing in, they was not ready. No one knows this, but [Darren Moore, Ball's manager] had a backpack, and he had an extra like four pairs of shoes in there because I had to switch them every quarter, because they would just rip.” He continued: “I had to debut them. We went so far with it, it was like, cool, I can get a quarter in, but that’s it. And it’s crazy, because right when I switched my shoes, all of a sudden, magically I got good again.”

以上言論也是 Lonzo Ball 首次批評自家球鞋，過去的他在著用大廠時的表現都會格外地好，而現在的他尚未簽約任何一間運動品牌，未來或將能在球場上「正常發揮」了。有興趣的讀者不妨留意 HYPEBEAST 的追蹤報導，亦可率先近覽 YEEZY BOOST 350 V3「黑白魂」最新實鞋圖輯。
