<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">That smile Stephon Marbury said earlier this summer couldn't be taken off his face is still there, beaming brightly and broadly yesterday as his new sneaker and clothing line were unveiled at the Manhattan Steve & Barry's store. "It's been the best summer of my life," he said. This was Marbury, warm and engaging and miles away from the frustrated, often petulant personality that runs the point for the embattled Knicks. In this form, he is a multimillionaire athlete with a genuine concern for the very people the Coney Island native came from: poor, which is why his sneaker will retail for $14.98 - not a typo - instead of more than $100 like most other player-endorsed kicks. The Starbury line, which includes sweatsuits, shorts, T-shirts and hoodies, are available exclusively at Steve & Barry's starting today. And Marbury, who once wore Nike and And-1, said this coming season he will wear the exact sneaker he helped design and will be sold in the stores. He hasn't approached any teammates yet to wear the sneaker and there was no sight of ultimate Knicks fan Spike Lee, who used to help Michael Jordan hawk his Nikes that set the precedent for overpriced sneakers Marbury is attempting to break. "We're trying to change the world," he said. It wouldn't hurt if he could change the fortunes of a demoralized Knicks franchise while he was at it. "I see us winning more than 23 games," Marbury said in reference to last season's paltry win total. It's hardly a daring prediction, but owner Jim Dolan had already made it a mandate when he assigned Isiah Thomas to take over as coach after the Larry Brown disaster. If the Knicks do not show improvement, Thomas is the next to go. Marbury sees that kind of pressure on the team as a positive. "That's a good thing," he said. "That makes us better ... That's the best time to perform, when there's pressure." Wearing a suit and sporting his Starbury logo (a "3" that also looks like half of a star) cut around a patch of hair on his otherwise bald head, Marbury called the new line his "joy." The gear is definitely hot, with Knicks colors (blue and orange) prominent along with white-on-white and black and Carolina blue.</div> Source
damn! i love the white one in your pic! something bout the knicks' colors that are so appealing to me. does anyone know if you can get them here in canada? or would you have to order online or something.
I thought about getting a black pair. I can't seem to find the story anywhere in Brooklyn. Is it even in Brooklyn? Edit-Can you order online?
http://starbury3.com/ I think I might buy a pair, just for the fact it's 15 dollars. The Starbury One's are okay, the Crossovers look pretty fresh.

The closest one is in Buffalo. If you're around there, it's definitely worth your while to visit that store though, for more than just the shoes. They got amazing prices.
If they were sold in stores near my house I would get a pair if they fit decently well, especially at 15$ I'd probably get two. lol

Everything is cheap quality.
^^8 dollar hoodies that are the exact same as 80 dollar ones? you could go through 7 of em and still be saving money
damn. It's effing ridiculous these days, 200 bucks for a pair of sneakers...i'm not saying I'll buy these though, i actually think they're ugly.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting P.A.P.:</div><div class="quote_post">Steve and Barry's is garbage. Everything is cheap quality.</div> Nah man, it's like a bulk store. I come out of there with a garbage bag full of clothes to get my values worth. j/k. Seriously though, it's always worth a stop if you're in the area. The hoodies are my favourite part.
Hes just helping the kids out that cant have the shoes that are 100 dollars these days, they might be real ugly, but its cool
yeah, this shoe is only available at steve and barry's..the problem with that store is that most things there are fake
