Starbury Sneakers

These new sneakers from NBA'r Stephon Marbury are the hot new thing. They are only $14.98. When he was a poor kid growing up in the projects his mom said there was no way she would buy him Air Jordans. Their grocery money was only $20 per week....sometimes even per month. He doesn't take any cut for having his name on them.

At first I thought it was great, but kids wouldn't go for it. I didn't think it would be a big deal, but this last Friday's 20/20 episode showed kids and moms storming stores at opening just to get them. Mother's are crying that they can afford the hot, new shoe for their kids.
Marbury says they are "affordable"...not cheap. A shoe making analyst (they have those?) cut apart a Nike shoe and a Starbury Sneaker and found they were made of the SAME materials and were the exact same quality of shoe.
