Turns out Big Baller Brand will have its ZO2s in the digital realm this fall. 2K Sports announced on Friday that Lonzo Ball‘s signature shoe — the ZO2 — will indeed appear in the game maker’s latest basketball offering this fall.
Ball was seen wearing Nikes in an earlier screenshot from NBA 2K18 but 2K Sports tweeted out on Friday that the two parties had found a way to add Big Baller Brand shoes to the game.

No images of the BBB shoes were made available just yet, but I’m sure they’ll be scanned and added to the collection soon enough. Ronnie from the NBA 2K crew hinted at the announcement earlier on Friday, asking the Big Baller Brand Twitter account of they wanted to make a bit of news.
@bigballerbrand you guys want to make one more bit of news with us today?

The news is indeed huge for LaVar Ball’s company, which could always use some extra attention. The ZO2s join an already impressive array of shoe options in the game, which prides itself on its lifelike recreations of player accessories.
Ball’s variety of shoes, mind you, is actually cannon here. The Balls have stressed that Big Baller Brand athletes can wear whatever they want, as was evidenced at the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas last month. Ball wore a variety of shoes in addition to his signature shoe, which raised plenty of eyebrows. Now if you can’t afford a pair of ZO2s for yourself, you can create a player to wear them for you.
Now if only Kenan Thompson’s impression of LaVar Ball can somehow make it into the game. That would certainly make it a must-buy.
