Back in the early 70s, I remember when I bought my first pair of white high-top Converse (Chuck Taylor) sneakers for $10.00! I damn near cried I was so excited. And ten bucks for a pair of sneakers was a lot of money! And these sneakers were made from canvas material. Man, you wore those sneakers until there were holes in the bottom. I remember when I arrived home. I placed the sneakers on my bed and just starred at them. I had arrived!

In the late 80s and 90s young people were bring robbed for Jordans and other Nike sneakers. I remember assisting a young guy who had his sneakers taken right off his feet in Brooklyn. He was left standing barefoot and crying on the sidewalk!

During the same period, FootLocker and other stores in New York would place the next generation of Air Jordans on sale and people would camp put overnight in order to get a pair at $150.00. These sneakers were part of the urban fashion statement, particularly among young folks of color.

It is great to see Marbury develop a sneaker that is less expensive–though these sneakers are made in sweatshops overseas–Lebron, Kobe, Jordan, you name it. That’s the name of the game: merchandising and as long as Lebron gets his money, he could care less. That’s the nature of the beast, baby, plain and simple.

I got my elf a pair of jordans but yeah i agree i think kids pay to much money for shoes expecialy highschool kids like me i got a buddy the only clothes or shoes this dude buys are over $100 hes got nothing saved for collage or university and in my opinoin if they sold maurburys up north in canda i would probably own a pair cause there nice shoes man its just they are harder to find in stores

ok here are the simple facts. A shoe is a shoe and that is it. It really boils down to who is wearing the shoe and with what outfit. I know this because i was rocking a green outfit with some green kicks and throughout the whole day males and females complimented the shoes continually how much where did you get them?? And what were the shoes…. of course the shoes were Starburys size thirteen clean of course. Take a look at these glorified Nikes and notice that they resembled Starburys inside and out. The Nikes cost $150 and up?? And both shoes are manufactured from the same place with the same basic material?? Only idiots follow broke trends. Wise up and take control of your our fashion, mind, and money.
