STEPHON MARBURY; SHOES FOR UNDERPRIVILEGED KIDS

August 16th, 2006

Knicks star Stephon Marbury is putting his name behind a pair of $15 basketball shoes that he’s hoping will give underprivileged kids the chance to wear sneaks fit for the pros.

The black high tops drew rave reviews yesterday from the critics who matter most – young hoopsters.

“They’re comfortable,” said Mylique Owens, 13, a seventh-grader from midtown, after he tried on a pair of the sleek kicks at the famed basketball court on W. Fourth St. yesterday. Owens couldn’t believe his ears when told the price of the lightweight sneakers. “Fifteen? Not 5-0? 1-5?” he asked, incredulously. “This shoe could easily go for $70 to a $100.”

Produced in China, the shoes are constructed using the same materials as the other top-end basketball sneakers on the market, said Howard Schacter, chief partnership officer for Steve & Barry’s. [READ MORE]


Gotta love this! Hopefully it can go on sale around the country, so more kids can get them. Thanx for e-mailing this Andre!

    what happens when the demand of the shoes go up? will the price raise at all? Hopefully not because this has got to be the best thing any b-ball player can do.

    Just bought 10 of these for my son’s bball team. He loves them. It doesn’t hurt that Stephon wears his own shoes in the NBA games. If they are good enough for him to play in, then they are good enough for my son. I returned 1 pair of Jordans to purchase 5 pair of the Starbury’s. Good looking out Stephon. Quality is important.
