LaVar Ball unveiled the Big Baller Brand's first shoe Thursday, the ZO2 Prime. Despite charging a hefty $495 per pair, he has reportedly made significant sales already.
Per TMZ, Ball said on FS1's Undisputed Monday that he has sold at least 495 pairs of shoes, although he wouldn't provide an exact number. He also said people have bought the $995 special edition version.
