If you think football players are mad about the massive contracts the NBA has been doling out this summer, imagine how mad they are that a rookie has a $495 pair of shoes on the market.
Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt was quick to point it out and promote the release of his own Reebok-branded shoes by saying not only are they $400 cheaper than Lonzo Ball‘s Big Baller Brand, but that he also wears them in-game — after several episodes of the UCLA product wearing alternate brands during games and workouts.
400 dollars less than some shoes on the market and 100% more effective.
Available tonight at midnight for $99.https://t.co/sU39iHQfcv pic.twitter.com/tHarE6JIfK

And I actually wear them.

Surely a great way to promote the release of his own brand and the more customer-friendly price tag in them.
The market will be patiently waiting for that sales report, J.J.
Wait, Reebok still makes shoes?…
