Stephon Marbury Is Building a Sneaker Empire $30 at a Time

[Doobie Doo]

“Michael Jordan’s been robbing the hood,” Marbury has said and tweeted several times over the past year. He has even criticized the products that Jordan Brand produces, claiming that they’re not that much different from the $15-$45 Starbury sneakers that Marbury sells out of China.

The Starbury brand has gone through its own ups and downs as well. Originally launched in the fall of 2006 while Marbury was a member of the New York Knicks, the line of $15 basketball sneakers saw relative success in the Tri-State area. Marbury was even featured on Oprah and 20/20 for his attempt to make high-end basketball sneakers more affordable.

They could be more digestible without the signature on the side.

Why is it so hard to make decent designed sneakers for cheap? shyt don't need a bunch of crazy designs and fabrics.
