J.J. Watt is the latest athlete to release a shoe, and he couldn't help but sneak in a jab at the competition while promoting it.

The Houston Texans star tweeted Thursday that the JJ IIs cost $99 - significantly less than the sneakers being touted by a certain Los Angeles Lakers draftee with an overbearing father.

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

Lonzo Ball disappointed in his summer-league debut while wearing his ZO2 Big Baller Brand shoe, prompting a wardrobe change and that absolute roast job from Watt.
