Lonzo Ball stepped onto the court for last night's Summer League game against the Sixers wearing the "Purple Dust" Nike Kobe A.D., a sneaker which dropped earlier this month and certainly isn't a BBB shoe.

Having ditched his Big Baller Brand signature sneaker, Lonzo proceeded to drop 36 points, adding 11 assists, 8 rebounds, 5 steals and 2 blocks in the Lakers' 103-102 win.

Of course, reporters had to ask him why he wasn't wearing the $495 ZO2 Prime.

Per ESPN,

"Um, you know, Mamba mentality," Ball said when asked why he wore Nike. "Thought I'd switch it up."

Ball added: "Like I said, you can wear whatever you want when you play with Big Baller Brand ... and it is just nice to get out there and do that."

Check out Lonzo's highlights from last night's game below.
