As pblicised by Stephon Marbury, quite frankly i want some Crossovers. Best thing about em is they retail at $14.98 brand new.

!!!

The brown/white ones are ripe for a custom...

[spitey]

poop!!

I agree with streak, and the cyclone II's aren't too bad.

I saw these in a documentary, they had some 'shoe expert' type people checking out the shoe and the said they were pretty much as good as any shoe. Stephon Marbury plays in them (in the NBA). They are trying to make quality sports gear more attainable to less well off people. Pity they only sell them at limited stores in the states, I'd pick up a pair for that price

Certainly goes to show how much money major labels are making from trainers though.
£7.50 for a pair of trainers.

I know, you could have a sizeable collection for the same price as a couple of rare soups (much rather have the rare soups though)

You gotta be kidding me.

"Crossovers"?

You know what, people buy expensive shoes for the name and the recognition.

Alright, so a pair of Undefeated's cost let's say, $500.

And they're real.

Does it matter?

NO!!

As long as someone buys it.

Jeez...

But how did they get the name and the recognition in the first place? In 1928 there were not many people who had heard of adidas, but some athletes wore them while competing at the Olympics, and more people found out about them.

Starbury has just started, and it may not currently have the recognition that some other brands have, but everything has to start somewhere. These are not just cheap, knock-off, no brand shoes trying to be something they're not, they are sports shoes, and it just happens that they are cheap.

I didn't get into soups because I found out that other people thought they were cool, or because they were expensive, I started wearing them because I thought they looked cool. Similarly there might be people who rate Starburys (God knows there must be, look at how many fugly nikes are sold). I don't think the brand should be written off purely because it makes affordable kicks.

It would be interesting to see what would happen if Starbury released a super limited run of shoes, amongst a heap of hype, but still at $14.95??

Fuck Marburry. Hes a shitty person and makes shitty shoes. Look at those AF1 rip offs.

[mr.pure]

He can't be that shitty if he's trying to make trainers for underprivileged kids as well as taking shots across the bow of the major trainer manufacturers.
