    Associated Press

    MOUNT PROSPECT, Ill. -- Stephon Marbury started it. Now, Ben Wallace is joining the cause.

    Wallace is lending his name to the Starbury Movement, endorsing an affordable line of sneakers and apparel started by the New York Knicks' star. Wallace will begin wearing the Starbury II basketball shoe Thursday when the Chicago Bulls play his former team, the Detroit Pistons. And his own sneaker -- Big Ben -- is expected to hit the market in late August or the fall.

    "Kids don't really understand what it takes to go out and buy a pair of $300 pair of shoes," Wallace said at a news conference on Tuesday. "We don't understand the pressure we put on our parents when we're growing up. This is one of the things where I think the parents will appreciate it a lot more than the kids right now because it eliminates so much stress from the parents. All parents want to see their kids have nice things."</div>

    Pretty cool, I'll have to see how they look this Thursday. Should be a good game too.

    Sorry about posting the full article, I forgot about that.

    I'm also interested to see how Big Ben's are going to look. But, is he wearing Marburys during the game or his?

    NP dude, just doin' the duties.

    I just seen some of the shoes from the brand, they look pretty nice IMO. Ben's conference was just on Comcast Sports Night and he talked about how he feels great being a part of this. He will wear the shoes for the remainder of the season and they can be bought in a few months. He also wore a White Sox cap, Go Sox!!

    the only real difference of the 14.99 Marbury's and the 100+ MJ's is the shiny box and the leather the MJ's have... other then that their the same show.

    Props to Ben Wallace, I'd like to see more players buy into this.
