Starbury is a brand of affordable athletic shoes and sportswear created by NBA star Stephon Marbury to provide high-quality items to underprivileged kids. The brand is exclusively available at Steve and Barry’s and has gained popularity, with other celebrities joining the movement. Marbury and fellow NBA star Ben Wallace understand the struggles of growing up without money and want to give more kids access to cool, quality stuff.
Starbury is a brand name for athletic shoes and sportswear and was developed using the term “star” and the surname Marbury. The idea behind it was inspired by Stephon Marbury of the New York Knicks. The NBA star also wanted underprivileged kids to be able to enjoy high-quality basketball shoes and other items, but she knew the cost often made those things out of reach for those who don’t come from wealthy families.
Marbury set out to create a line of sneakers that more kids would have access to, offering the same high quality at a more affordable price. The Starbury brand is available exclusively at Steve and Barry’s. These shoes are priced around $15.00 US Dollars (USD), instead of the exorbitant prices often seen on name-brand sneakers and other athletic apparel.
Sportswear is also available under the Starbury brand and has become quite popular. Other celebrities have followed Marbury’s lead and come up with similar products. Another NBA star, Ben Wallace of the Chicago Bulls, has joined the Starbury “movement,” wearing Starbury basketball shoes during games. He’s also lending his name to a new sneaker design. His nickname “Big Ben” will be used in the new design.
Marbury was featured on Oprah Winfrey where she compared her shoes to expensive brands in terms of quality. He wears shoes when he plays basketball. The Starbury effort is an act of love for children that Marbury can relate to. He remembers growing up asking for things and his mother having to tell him that money was needed for groceries.
Even Ben Wallace understands this. As a child he wore hand-me-down clothes. That these two stars remember what it’s like to have no money, and care so much about what kids are going through under such circumstances today, is a testament to their character. They might put their name on basketball shoes that sell for up to $100 a pair, but instead they represent Starbury to give more kids access to cool, quality stuff so they don’t feel left out.
