Lonzo Ball’s shoes, as we know by now, cost $495. They’re wildly expensive.
What other shoes can you buy for the price of Lonzo Ball’s sneakers?
Plenty.


LaVar is also coming for people who are criticizing the high price tag.
But really, it’s a lot of money. What other shoes can you buy for $495?
14 pairs of the classic Adidas slides that you would wear on the way to practice in high school. What practice? Doesn’t matter. Soccer, basketball, football. Everyone had these. Now, they’re $35 a pop.
9 pairs of the classic Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Hi Sneaker. You know, like when you want to channel what your grandfather wore to tear up the court.
5 pairs of Kobe XIs. That’s only if you buy them on eBay — still a good deal.
4 (almost) pairs of Steph Curry’s new Curry 3Zeros. They’re $119 so four pairs are $496. You’d have to cut off the toe of one of the shoes maybe. (Although these are certainly an acquired taste.)
4 pairs of Paul George’s PG1s. They’re $110 a pair, so you could even throw in an extra set of laces.
3 pairs of the Jordan Westbrook 0.2s for $140 each, which bring you to $420. Heh. Plus that leaves you $75 to buy a two-toned camouflage shirt just like Russ.
1 pair of Yeezy Boosts. For your baby. The infant-sized pairs are only $300!
1/5 of a pair of Yeezy Boosts for yourself. So that’s like, the sole of one shoe?
Maybe $495 is starting to sound pretty good ...
Or, you can just skip the shoes altogether and go for 495 chicken rollers from Del Taco.
You decide which is the better investment.
