        That angle of the story was touched on briefly in the story.  Another big difference between the Starburys and the Nikes.  Thanks for bringing that up.

    •  I was thinking about Starbury's for (0+ / 0-)

      my last sneaker purchase. Hadn't actually ever seen a pair, so I ended up going with the old stand-by: Converse All-Stars.
      No support, but they still can be quite comfortable (no good for sports, so I end up using old, very dirty running shoes for that).
      It's interesting that Ben Wallace is also coming out with an affordable shoe. Marketing-wise, Big Ben is a higher-tier name than Stephen Marbury (at least, that's my opinion).
