Although claiming to be chosen by professional players, the cartoonish brand packaged in colors appealing to children such as neon green is clearly marketed to kids. Though this norm is not without exception, Lebron James was reportedly a devoted user of the brand before signing an endorsement deal with Bubblicious{{ref|lebron}}.
