Lonzo Ball 自认要价 $495 美金的 Big Baller Brand ZO2 具有重大瑕疵

将于新赛季转战 Pelicans 的 Lonzo Ball 过去总穿上自家品牌 Big Baller Brand 为他打造的 ZO2，不过这双鞋所制造的负面风波也是外界有目共睹的。Lonzo Ball 在上季频频传出受伤，尤其是脚踝部位，球团认为或许就是 Big Baller Brand 球鞋所造成的，如今 Lonzo 也已确定出走，更也把手臂上 Big Baller Brand 刺青覆盖了。

Lonzo 近期登上 LightHarted Podcast 时透露 ZO2 其实不是一双可靠的球鞋，它是具有重大的瑕疵，但没有人知道。「我几乎每打一节就要换上新的一双 ZO2，它太容易裂开，我经纪人 Darren Moore 都会准备一个包包里头装进四双备用鞋，我不得不穿上这些鞋，我们广告都打这么大了。」Lonzo 说道。

“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.”

以上言论也是 Lonzo Ball 首次批评自家球鞋，过去的他在著用大厂时的表现都会格外地好，而现在的他尚未签约任何一间运动品牌，未来或将能在球场上「正常发挥」了。有兴趣的读者不妨留意 HYPEBEAST 的追踪报导，亦可率先近览 YEEZY BOOST 350 V3「黑白魂」最新实鞋图辑。
