J.J. Watt‘s intent of promoting his own shoe line through putting down Lonzo Ball‘s Big Baller Brand shoes comically backfired, as Twitter came down on him with its usual roast.
The Houston Texans defensive end promoted his signature Reebok shoe line on social media at the coattails of all the attention Ball has been getting for wearing different brands on-court and during workouts — taking an immediate dig at the hefty price tag and the fact that he actually wears his own sneaker line.
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 of course, all the military jokes were soon to drop right back on Watt's head.
You talkin bout the Air National Guard Recruiter 4s?

Maybe next time Watt will make sure his shoes will actually attract customers with its design.
Ain't nobody payin' $99 for that.
