![]() ![]() Stephan Marbury's shoe. These shoes retail for $14.98. They are supposedly the exact same quality of shoe as Nike sells, made by the same manufacturer. Maybe the 200 dollar basketball shoe is going to be a thing of the past. Marbury is a big-time star in the retail arena too, selling top five in Jerseys over the last two years. |

[/ QUOTE ] I'm sure it is, but I also know from personal experience so are the $100 kicks. What's the ultimate goal in the end? Sorry if I find it hard to believe Starbury just wants poor kids to have some kicks. |

I still think it's insane that he is going to wear them while he is playing.

if i needed basketball shoes i would absolutely buy these. obviously starbury just wants a lot of people wearing a shoe with his name on it, he seems like that type of person.

[/ QUOTE ] I'd get them, but then again I'm not in high school. So I see what you're saying here. I believe I saw some consumer report type thing somewhere that looked at the shoes and said the quality is pretty comparable to the Nike's and Reebok's of the world (forget where though or else I'd give the source). Good for him for doing this, I just hope he doesn't have any foot/ankle problems wearing them this year though. |
