Stephon Marbury and Steve Barry Present "Starbury"

Biz Markie, Rocsi, and others were in the house to support the new clothing line by Knicks guard Stephon Marbury. $14.98 for a pair of sneaks? $9.99 for a crisp tee? How real is that?

2. B-Boy P Says:

Where is this being sold at? I might cop a few of those.

3. Nana Says:

I doubt those starburys are any good
i mean come on he’s selling them for 15 so he must of only invested 12 on each shoe maybe
that cant be good quality shoes

4. Short Dogg Says:

Nana…it costs like 5 dollars to make a pair of Jordans, or basically any other “good quality” tennis shoe…so there’s no reason for us to be paying $150 for shoes that cost 5 dollars to make…I don’t know what Marbury’s thinking, but I’ll cop them joints

8. Nana Says:

in that case s.carter, G-Unit and them must be mad right now cuz they been exposed by Marbury

9. Rizoh Says:

I don’t know how much it costs to make shoes, but I’m sure it wayyyyy cheaper than what they sell for.

Same with CDs. You can make a solid disc with 50 cents, not adding creative cost and what have you. But we end up paying $18 for that shit. And, don’t tell me no bullshit about supporting the artist cause they only get like 10 cents unless you’re Jay-Z or 50 Cent, then we’re talking $3 to $4.

Saddening.

he talked about these in the latest issue of DIME… http://www.starbury.com … he grew up in the ‘jects and wants to reach out to the moms who have nmad kids and no loot to get them the stuff they want. you know, get them fitted fresh and still be able to pay on the light bill and shit.

it’s a beautiful thing, and he says be assured that they are top quality.

i think they are only to be sold at certains tores though… steve & barry’s? i’m not sure. i don’t know shit about ny stores but that’s what i heard.

11. Rizoh Says:

^Nice

I have a feeling these will fly out the roof in no time. Too bad there’s no Steve & Barrys in Houston. I don’t feel like driving all the way to Katy for cheap shoes.

12. Bolly Says:

He’s being such a positive role model.

13. Saxx Says:

14. Nebu Says:

15. Trillster Says:

It’s good that he’s doing this…I remember learning about opportunity cost in econ, and shoes def only cost around 3-5 dollars to produce in china, taiwan, etc…

Good lookin out, Starbury

I’m glad another black man isn’t ripping off his own people to make millions. To all you jordan buyers one word Dumbass, what have jordan ever given to us as black people who help made him so damn rich. I mean $150 for a pair of shoes give me a break i never bought a pair and wont fuck jordan. I mean i respect his game on the court but damn dog at least be considerate about your poor black people.
