Default Starbury\'s



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.

The STARBURY hooides aren't bad looking either.

Basically you're paying $5 for a hoodie that looks and feels like anything And1 puts out.

I think here lies the problem. Poor, inner city kids will buy these, but who else?

Do you really want to go to your middle class school wearing some $15 kicks, even if they are Starbury's?

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.
