By the very fact that this thread exists on a Cleveland-centric sports message board and there are so many replies, Lavar is doing something right.
He's got his son, his shoes, his brand and himself trending on every bit of social media. Sure, most of it is negative towards himself and the products, but stores and individual buyers are pre-ordering the shoes. I think I heard something about "into the 5,000's", and it's only been a day.
He's turned himself into a Kardashian, without having to marry one of them. Lots of press, money, eyes and opinions.
You hit the nail on the head Punch.yeah most normal working people , like most of us wouldnt pay $495 for some shoes, but there is a sneakerhead culture that might, and with some of his outlandish crap, Lavar has people talking.
What are those special designed Nikes? Yamaguccis or something like that. People pay well over a thousand for those.
