Figured this was pertinent given all the big baller brand hype



Planet Money said:
When Stephon Marbury was eight years old, the Nike Air Jordan sneakers came out. Kids everywhere wanted to fly like Michael Jordan on the basketball court, and they wanted to wear the sneakers with his name on them too. But they were pricey. Stephon couldn't afford them. Lots of kids couldn't. For years, he wondered if there was a different way.

Two decades later, he had a chance to try a different way himself. When he was an NBA star, Marbury got approached by clothing company Steve & Barry's. They had a crazy idea for a sneaker, and they thought Marbury might be just the celebrity to get behind it.

Listened to the podcast over the weekend pretty good

He team with Steve & Barry who handled production

The company operated on a narrow margin so the financial crisis made them go bankrupt

Now that steph has contacts in China they'll be coming back apparently
