Okay, I think this is really cool:

NBA Star Stephon Marbury teamed with a shoe company to make basketball shoes that sell for $14.98. He wants kids to stop feeling the pressure to pay obscene amounts of money for a pair of shoes, and to see how much it really costs to make them. I think Stephon put it best himself: "Two hundred to buy a pair of sneakers, that's groceries for the week."

He'll be wearing them throughout the 2006-2007 season to help promote them.
