I know how everyone here loves save money. With that in mind, are you inclined to purchase a pair of Starbury II's for $14.95. I say if its good enough for Marbury and Ben Wallace, it's good enough for me.
 
I've wanted to get a pair of the Starbury kicks for a while now but the Steve and Barry's shop is kind of out of the way for me.

And I'd like to kick Starbury. [/Larry Brown]
 
They weigh a ton. I tried them on last time I went near S&B and ... well, maybe it would work instead of the ankle weights.

I understand they have great support. Could you feel it?

The Starbury's aren't anything special. They're knockoffs, plain and simple. People who are into shoes know they've really ripped off some mainstays like the Nike Air Force One, New Balance 574, and others. I mean you can't beat it for $15, but I think I'd pay a couple dollars extra just to not have myself associated with Marbury.
 
Shouldn't he get at least a little bit of credit for putting his name on something that the masses can afford?

After all, Jordan's have killed more inner-city kids than crack... ;)

We used to have a saying. Don't get the kind that slip and slide, get the kind with the star on the side.

In my neighborhood, the conventional wisdom was that Keds were better outdoor shoes but Chucks were better indoors. From '68 on, I've always had a pair of Chucks in my closet.

Then came Tiny Archibald and Pro Keds. adidas, I recall, were the first to come out with leathers followed closely by Puma, Nike and Pony.
 
I first took note of Adidas when DeBusschere switched to them. Walt Frazier went from Chucks to Pumas a year or so later. Bradley, Barnett and Reed stuck with the Chucks.
 
Remember, the A is a lower case in adidas. It stands for all day I dream about sex.

PF Flyers were enjoyable.

If you came to the IS 51 courts in PF Flyers you'd get mocked faster than if you were wearing Buster Browns. The plastic-bottom sneakers they sold in the bins at E.J. Korvettes were preferable to PF Flyers.
