Big Ben's

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>You got a taste in the latest issue of Kicks, but here's a better look at <span style="font-weight: bold">the Big Ben, Ben Wallace's signature shoe for the 2007-08 NBA season</span>. As with all the Starbury on-court kicks, the <span>Big Ben's will cost $14.98</span> and will be sold exclusively at Steve & Barry's.<span style="font-weight: bold"> </span><span>It drops at the start of the NBA season -- the only colorway missing here is the black/black. </span><span>From my perspective, </span><span style="font-weight: bold">the issue will be whether Starbury's $14.98 sneakers can get respect on the court. </span>While sales numbers of the I and II are rumored to be in the range of 1-2 million pairs sold, people seem pretty divided between the "you get what you pay for" camp and the "if these had a jumpman logo on the side, everyone would love them" camp. <span style="font-weight: bold">But a product that polarizes means the people care</span> -- and that's half the battle in the sneaker industry. Does the Big Ben extension to the Starbury line inspire? Does it add performance authenticity to the Starbury brand? Will the sneaker industry respond with other hoops shoes priced below $30? Are other brands missing out?</div></p>

I was curious to see what they were going to look like. I'll go get a pair when they come out.</p>

 

Haha, everybody's doin that now a days.</p>

I would like to get a pair, but I have never heard of Steve and Barry's lol</p>

 

I like Starburys and Wallace's shoes because they are cheap and great for outdoor play. I can ruin them and be like, oh well, it's ok. My friend bought like 5 pairs of them and it's like nothing.

You probably have heard of it, but never realized it, Steve & Barry's has also been reffered to as hell, the devils work shop, or the apocolypse. </p>

</p>

Ugh, my bad I just happen to work in that store, and honestly its hell of earth haha... </p>

 

no thanks, i think i'll stick to MY ADIDAS

 

Ben's shoes look like the And1 Chosen One's, theyre nice though. I'd wear em to hoop in.

 

I think I'm gonna buy 2 or 3 pairs of Starbury's tommorow. </p>

I think I'm gonna get the Black/Red/White/Grey Crossover LE's. The Grey/Black/White Cyclone II's. and White/Royal Blue/Red Starbury II High Tops.</p>

$45 for all that. His basketball shorts ($5-$10) look really nice too. </p>

Props to Marbury big time on this, and I am definitely going to support his movement, and support saved money for me. I am getting three pairs of shoes for less than the price I'd probably spend on one pair of another brand. I think my last shoes were $70.</p>

 

I got some of these today.</p>

I got the White/Red/Black Starbury II hightops. Same ones that Ben Wallace wore last year during the second half of the NBA season.</p>

Then I got some Black/Black/White Cyclone II's.</p>

These shoes are pretty damn good. I pity the fool who buys something other than Starburys. </p>

 

I forgot they came out already, I'll have to go another time, hopefully their not out.

They haven't launched yet. They have some nice Ben Wallace posters at S&B's though.</p>

Is there a release date on them yet? I'd have to imagine they are coming out sometime in October.</p>

</p>

 

<font face="arial" size="2" color="#000000"> 2,158,809 and counting...</font></p>

They have the counter on the page. Whenever one gets purchased, it immediately gets added to the counter. </p>

</p>

 

The Big Ben's will come out on Saturday. I won't be getting them, since I just got two pairs of Starburys, but when those start breaking down, I'll get some Big Bens.</p>

</p>

 

This Saturday, BG?</p>If it is I'm guessing it's not at all the stores yet?

Yeah, it looks like its just the New York stores getting them right now. I'm sure we will see them in other stores soon. Just being in there the other day, they have all sorts of Big Ben posters set up in the shoe area. Just because of the way S&B's runs their business, they can't give a firm release date on this type of stuff.</p>
