[tremonthustler1]

hope you flippin them.

real talk, I've seen people camp out for a week or longer to wait on some sneakers. I always thought those were some of the biggest losers ever. At least the people who leave their families during Thanksgiving to wait on line for Black Friday are tryna get a better deal on shyt. You got nikkas waiting in line for days peeing in Gatorade bottles to pay hundreds of dollars for sneakers that aren't even that hot most of the time and then do it again for some new pairs. If you got the time and money, vaya con dios, but not a lot of good comes from that.

Colin Cowherd just went on a rant about this saying "dont blame Nike or Lebron, blame yourself....persoanl accountability. I've seen the ppl who buy/wear those shoes, and they dont look like they can afford them"



I saw Lebron on TV the other day with alot of Akron kids for some type of charity thing. I wonder if any of those kids will be able to wear their favorite players shoes? I wonder if Lebron himself as a youngster would be able to wear these shoes. I think not....

Regardless of whether he's crazy or not, Marbury will always have my respect for bringing out a quality line of clothing/shoes/etc at affordable prices for the people who mostly wear them.

Yeah, anybody with half a brain, white or black, who can use their imagination automatically knows he's referring to black ppl. That's what made me mad is that he knows hes saying it....w/o saying it. SMH

Either way though, the shoes didnt cost anymore than $20-25 to make. I can't imagine anything else with a higher markup...yeah the "research" may be a little costly, but still.....

Regardless of whether he's crazy or not, Marbury will always have my respect for bringing out a quality line of clothing/shoes/etc at affordable prices for the people who mostly wear them.

On March 23, 2007, Starbury was featured in a segment on the ABC show 20/20 (edition entitled "Enough!"), hosted by John Stossel. The segment dealt with the high price of sneakers and the role of Starbury and Marbury as an alternative. During the show, Marbury stated, "If you take my shoe and you take a $150 shoe, cut it down in half, and it do the same exact thing". Stossel put Marbury's statement to the test and a pair of Starbury Ones were brought to Professor Howard Davis, Shoe Design department professor at Parsons The New School for Design. Davis proceeded to cut apart the Starbury Ones and a pair of "$100 plus Air Jordans" and stated, "They're constructed the same way". Stossel then mentioned that "others in the business" came to the same conclusion. However, Davis never commented on the quality of materials, nor the durability of the Starbury One; only that they were constructed in a similar fashion to Air Jordans.

In May 2007, Bryant Gumbel had an expert disassemble and analyze the shoes. He determined the materials in Starbury shoes were inferior to more expensive shoes, and wouldn't last as long, but that the shoes were still a better price value.

Consumer Reports has tested the quality of the Starbury One and Starbury II.[5] The Starbury One "earned decent marks in our earlier tests", according to Consumer Reports. As for the Starbury II, six of nine "men's summer basketball league" players hired by Consumer Reports to test the shoe stated "they would not buy the Starbury II for basketball--they said it provided less comfort, stability, or impact absorption than their favorite shoe". Consumer Reports concluded "our measurements showed that its heel cushioning is very good, its forefoot cushioning is good, and that it's very breathable and fairly flexible" and "The Starbury II would be a fine casual, everyday shoe"

Do they still make The Starbury
