1st Real good shoes this might help his b-ball image that and maybe winning

GOOD FOR YOU I KNOW YOU R A POSITIVE ROLE MODEL

VERY SMART

I think the shoes look ok. The good thing is the a nba star is coming out with a shoe everyone can afford. It show’s that he cares about the people that don’t have $100 - $200 to spend on shoes. YOu can’t beat 15.00

shaq tried to do this with his payless shoes a while back…i’m glad to see stephon put a lil more effort in his design. he gets TWO THUMBS up in my book! way to look out for the underpriviledged!!!

15.00?? WTF IS THAT TRUE? MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE READ THE OTHER POST FROM YESTERDAY. I MIGHT COP THOSE TO WEAR TO THE GYM… AND FOR SOME OF MY GREEDY COUSINS BACK HOME

Well done! It’s about time there’s a sneaker out there that’s affordable for the kids! Let’s hope others will follow in his footsteps. Much props to Mr. Marbury.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Shaq’s cheap shoes. Kids are still going to want the expensive Jordans because thats what the other kids are going to be wearing. And the kids that can afford the Jordans are going to clown on the kids thats wearing the $15 shoes. Kids can be so cruel…Its still a very good and positive thing that he is doing though!!

Now that’s really decent of him.

shaq makes shoes for under 20.00 also, but marbury is such a jerk, there isnt nothing much he can do to improve his image oher than spending all of this summer building back the gulf region and spending time in african with the kids promoting peace.

My boyfriends baby mother has another child who is fathered by Stephan Marbury, LOL (i know that sounded strange) BUT my point is, since we all have a good relationship (me and her) I get to spend allot of time withe the Marbury’s and i can honestly tell you, this isnt a ploy to sell sneakers or publicity etc. he really does allot for his community, he may not be the greatest at it BUT i give him mad props, he gives back and the whole sneaker thing is a good idea. Not sure it will fly considering children will only want things from FootLocker, etc. Not payless which is where the shoe may end up in time to come.

Oops i meant Stphan Marbury’s cousin…OH LAWD, dont wanna start rumors…I MEANT STEPHAN MURBURY’S COUSIN, LOL

What Marbury is doing is certainly an admirable thing to do. I think in theory it is an awesome idea. HOWEVER in reality kids buy shoes as a status symbol because they cannot buy cars or jewelry. Expensive shoes says “hey I am worth something” to some of these kids that do not feel that they are worth anything. If Lexus or Mercedes came out with a car that cost only 12k then people would look at Lexus and Mercedes as cheap cars and the high end cars that they now would struggle in sales. Image sells son!!!

Those shoes will soon be out of commission just like Larry Brown.lol Kids will get laughed at on the courts!

CHEAP SHOES!!!!! The kids will not wear them becuase they will get laughed at. It may go over well with the 1 to 5 year olds!!!

Me personally, if i was raising kids and they werent working age kids, they couldnt tell me what THEY want to wear. I grew up in a somewhat privillaged family (which i am greatful, not bragging). My parents never did the whole “you can have whatever u want coz we can afford it”. i wore my very first designer outfit when i was 17, when i could buy with my own money. If a child feels he needs Jordans instead of Marbury’s then thats fine, only he will pay for it, NOT you as a parent. If you raise your children to be humble and accept simplicity THEN in turn they will appreciate life more as adults and know labels and material things dont matter.

I HOPE EVERYBODY BUYS A PAIR TO SUPPORT HIM! AND MAKE THEM POPULAR…THAT WAY KIDS IN THE HOOD WILL WEAR THEM TOO!

NDI, U ARE 100% RIGHT!

Thats the only way…it takes one proclaimed cool kid to wear them and the rest will follow. i may buy me a pair, who knows!

Very smart of him…now this is someone who has the average trying to get by spender in mind.

I first read about this right here on CL,and was very interested because I happen to work at Steve and Berry’s in Cincinnati,and I must say it’s a good look all around. By me, being an employee there’s a discount involved for me! And because my son is hard on shoes he will get a pair,don’t get me wrong I buy cheap and inexpensive shoes ( have bought Nike and the Shaq”s from Payless-because; Yeah! it does feel good to Payless,etc.)but I will also buy these becasue my son likes Marbury. And the campaign at work is great. Last night, we did the floor setting which includes clothing for men and boys. Actually the clothing is nice.In case,there are people who may not know this! So “bigg-ups” to Stephon and Steve and Berry’s.

If the shoes hold up and the kid can ball, no one’s gonna be laughing if he’s wearing theses shoes on courts. Think about it, you in $200 Jordan’s and you just got schooled by someone wearing $15 kicks. YOUR @ss is gonna get clowned.

That’s why Chuck Taylor’s are still popular. You get beat by someone wearing those you might as well find you another court to play on.

As for getting laughed at for wearing cheap shoes, it’s gonna happen (I use to kick “ZIPS” back in the day) but I’m seeing more and more kids brush that off. Like I said, it just depends on where their head’s at.

Whats up with the “cheap shoe comments” It is sad that black people are so obsessed with retail. I know millionaires who kids run around looking like bums because impressing others is their least concern. Im sure parents on a budget will appreciate these shoes. I commend Stephon for trying to help out the community.

If we invested half the money we spent on clothes, shoes, and jewelry, there would probably be a lot mor eBlack owned banks and other things

Those shoes don’t even look bad either. They rank right up there with them $100 ones.

I agree. I don’t think these shoes will sell simply because there $15.

Much props to Stephon putting out a QUALITY and AFFORDABLE shoe out on the market for the youngsters. Unlike Micheal Jordan’s greedy self captializing of his shoes.

I wonder if he uses the same “sweat shop” Jordan uses?

Those shoes don’t even look bad either. They rank right up there with them $100 ones.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

yup, believe me, niggas in the hood might cop these. Niggas just keep it gutter here, i hardly see that many people in $200 jordans or none of that shit, when i was in HS. It was mainly air force 1’s, since theres alot of diff types of 1’s at footaction, etc. Im telling u, when i was in HS people werent trying to stunt that much man,cause niggas will def hit a lick on u if they know u wearing $250 jordans.

@16 that’s a good point.
i understand that people are saying that kids will get teased, but at least he’s trying to do SOMETHING…
it’s amazing how we’ll knock Diddy about buying an $11mill necklace and talk about how Diddy should use that money to help out ‘poor people’, and then here comes Marbury helping out those in need, and here we go again, we’re speakin negativity into the atmosphere about how noone’s gonna buy them

I’m sure Marbury thought about that, and i’m sure some negative person told him that when he shared his idea about $15 tennis shoes, but i’m glad he did it anyway…do your thing Marbury

I already dropped knowledge on this earlier but the devils at Concrete Loop did a censor on me. It’s all good though. In America, A black Man can’t really speak real talk. Big Up to Stephon and thumbs down to LeBron.

Quit it Dukesman! lol! #25

First we get cheap tennis shoes and next time, they’ll give us government cheese and say its just as good as provolone! hehe!

Give black people some good paying jobs and raises, so we can buy some Jordans, LV, Gucci, and Prada!

Don’t put them “bobos” on you kids feet! He’ll go outside and get his little butt kicked!

The shoes look good. This is such a nice gesture.

Stephon was on a NY new show this morning showing off clothes from his line and they looked pretty good. Looked like the same stuff Nike, and the rest of those companies makes. Hope he does well with it. I just hate the name “Starbury”.

I heard somewhere that some off the proceeds go to charity? Does anyone know if that’s tru? I know Stefon does a lot of charity work here in NY that people don’t always hear about. I was just wondering if this was something else he’s doing, because the clothing shares the same name as his charitable foundation.

These shoes like like Nikes to me. They look nice and low income resident don’t have to go broke…Kudos.

i think these will sell not only bcuz of the price but bcuz they jus look betta than shaqs shoes( kind of a cross btween converse and shaqs-not knockin shaq bcuz what he did deserves kudos too) and both should maybe add more than the basic white and black colors-hell girls need shoes too make some hot pink/white or purple….

I MEAN YEAH HE IS DOING GOOD FOR MAKING THINGS MORE AFORDABLE FOR THOSE WHO DONT HAVE THE MONEY TO BUY 200 DOLLARS SNEAKERS, BUT 14.98? THEM SHITS ARE GONNA TEAR UP AND BE TALKING BEFORE YOU GET OUT THE STORE…COME ON NOW!!! GOOD FOR HIM THOUGH…..

NIQ let me break it down for u. U think a $14.99 shoe is made of cheap materials. think again. All of Nikes shoes and Jordan shoes are made in chinese sweatshops by slave like workers who get like $1 a day. and most of them work for more than 14 hours, I seen a documentry about this shit.

Plus the materials are hella cheap in price as they all bought in china. SO they pay a $1 a day salary to soemone who sits down and sews a jordan 21 shoe up, and they bring it here and sell it for $179.99 because they have teh jordan name and because nike is making serious paper. In reality them shoes only worth like $50 in materials, but nike just adds a whole lot of profit for themselves to it.

yall dont know bout this shit, how u think nike is like one of teh richest companies in the world?

He needs to make some lowtops for the ladies, maybe some pink white and grey ones.

I don’t think anything…I know for a fact that they user cheaper material. I didn’t learn it from a documentary on t.v. I lived in south east asia and have seen it. What you say is somewhat true but they still use a lower quality material to make cheaper shoes. You telling me that a pair of bobo’s from walmart or k-mart will last just as long as a pair of nike’s or J’s…you buggin! And if you really knew what you were talking about you would know that the materials are shipped from south korea to china. Then china turns around and makes the shoes…then ships them world wide. Yeah company’s jack up prcies to make a profit but at the same time, some shoes have a higher quality than others!

Those wont take off, you know why? Black folks only buy shit they can’t afford.

I hope black people take advantage of what this brother is trying to do for our kids out here. I got this feeling that it would be a school yard joke though. Little kids might be like, “You got the welfare Jordans on” or something else just as dumb. We live in a materialistic society, and people always want what they can’t have. I hope they do well and change the shoe game.

I think he’s got a good idea. Not everyone can afford or wants to drop a bundle on an expensive pair of sneakers. Spend that money on a nice pair of dress shoes or a suit! You may have an interview one day! Anyway, the idea may or may not take off. I don’t think I’d buy any, but I have to give him credit for doing something positive!

NIQ said: I lived in south east asia and have seen it.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Aight, there goes my argument right out the window. Cause i know i aint seen no sweatshops in person. lol, good points though. Just wondering, if u got a pair of j’s right outta china, how much would they cost?

sadly these won’t sell. if only they were nikes instead…

Good to see that he is accumulating some posititve investments because he knows that bball does not last forever.

I am glad he makes his clothing affordable, b/c it’s hard for parents who are making ends meet, to buy kids overpriced shoes and clothes. It’s a good look.

do ya thing stephon!!!
good to think about folks in need.
[[applaud]]

I bet rich white folks will rush out and snap up everything Starbury sells! They don’t mind wearing cheap stuff! Prefer it! Hell, for $15 a pair, Nike might buy all those shoes and burn them! That’s a thousand pair for $15,000 dollars! Control and momopoly!

Those shoes are a great service to community. Im just worried about the Quality but i think its a noble gesture becuase he could have easily signed a new more lucrative deal with a major manufacturer. Props to Marbury. As far as getting clowened Kids will be Kids but some kid is gonna rock them with the marbury Jersey and it will be a rap then they will be accepted

Holla

“Im not a businessman im a BUSINESS….MAN!”

No I never got a pair of J’s straight out of China, but I know may people have. You can get J’s, AF1’s, and whatever other top brand sneaker for like 20 dollars and cheaper! BRAND DAMN NEW!!!

You can get J’s, AF1’s, and whatever other top brand sneaker for like 20 dollars and cheape

^^^^^^^^^^^^

Damn, on the real.. thats crazy though, but u know its also alot of fake ish there for sale. neways wish i had a contact there that sold legit shoes or something id prolly get shoes from there.

I own a pair of the high top white. They are no different from any other name brand shoe I have ever purchased. In fact I like them better because they did not hurt my wallet. I think I will go buy another pair and then by some stock with my savings.

What’s funny is no one hear realizes that the same amount of money it cost to make Air Jordans you can make Starbury’s. The only diference is he charges less. If your worried about what people think about your shoes while your playing ball you shouldn’t be playing. Your not going to play any better in a $100 sneaaker than a $15 sneaker. I bought a pair today and I think they are great. I only wish the entire sole was on the outside instead of the inside because the leather bunches a little….I’m not a Marbury fan at all, but when someone can come out with a shoe that doesn’t take food out of a families mouth, I’m a fan of that….

I just bought two pairs. I am psyched. Let’s buy these shoes and make it cool to wear them! This guy is doing the right thing. If you were like me, and couldn’t afford to wear the best shoes as a kid, this effort should be close to your heart as it is to mine.

Honestly!….. Your outa the loop if you realy think kids’ll get made fun of for wearing these. I just bought a pair of Lebrons before I knew These came out. I feel worse saying I spent $200 on shoes than I do when I grab something for a good price. some will want to spend more but really most kids will think fine of the smarter kids tahn the ones to make money. More of a factor will be the player endorsing it than the price. If Marbury plays well this year the shoes will take off. especially if the shoes really are as good as the competition.

iam not a marbury fan eaither or a NY KNICK fan but i saw tha website and they sell em here n nashville witch is cool iama prob come me 2 pairs hopefully there good quality

People are so caught up on name brands and materialistic things. African American’s, especially, cough up all this money for spinning wheels, Jordan’s, and all this other mess, but can’t pay rent or put gas in their car.
It’s time folks realize… it’s all (relatively) the same quality, it’s the brand name you are paying for. If people could see how truly beautiful and amazing they are. And have PRIDE and respect for themselves and others… we would be wiser stewards of our money.
As black people we need to support black businesses that support the black community. Stop paying all this excessive money for Jordan’s to make Michael and Nike executive rich.
This is a wonderful idea and I hope it much success.
While not everyone will buy it, those that do have no reason to hang their head low.
