Marbury actually made a deal where he didn't get paid until after the shoes showed whether they would sell or not. And the other thing was that the Nike had those "breathing" spots that didn't work anyway b/c they were covered up. The shoe scientist guy also said that leather was totally unnecessary in an athletic shoe and was only for status and probably wasn't the best material for the common use for the shoe anyway. When they shipped these shoes to the stores, they shipped each store a two month supply. Well, that two month supply was sold out in a day or two nationwide. Phan, I saw that too.

The only difference in quality was that the Nikes were made of leather and the box they came in was much more spiffy. Good for you, Marbury!

It's still at the expense of a young, underpaid, sweat-shop worker, I bet. Of course, any OTHER sneaker they buy will be the same.

I applaud a celebrity developing a cheap shoe, but with the exception of the shoes crocheted from grocery bags, and the crocs, these are the most horrid things I have seen. And Manol likes these?

A highly paid celebrity athlete who has made a decision to sell shoes at a reasonable price to his fans, rather than pocketing the usual 9000% markup? Unheard of! What is this?
