Ball’s shoes were made independently, and not by a shoe company. Last week Nike, Under Armour, and Adidas told LaVar that they weren’t interested in having a deal with Lonzo, according to Darren Rovell of ESPN.

“We’ve said from the beginning, we aren’t looking for an endorsement deal,” LaVar told ESPN. “We’re looking for co-branding, a true partner. But they’re not ready for that because they’re not used to that model. But hey, the taxi industry wasn’t ready for Uber, either.”
