Ben Wallace Debuts His Starbury Kicks

The Bulls clinched a playoff spot for the third consecutive year last night against their division rival Pistons, but that wasn't the only reason why the game was notable: it was also the first time that Big Ben was sporting his new Starbury kicks. Here's what he had to say before the game:

"I had couple of days to practice in them," Wallace of the shoes, which have a $14.98 retail price. "It's not a bad shoe at all. I mean, if anybody has doubts, then tonight they should come here to see what a $15 shoe can do."

Turns out the shoe can do a lot -- Ben grabbed a game-high 19 rebounds against his former teammates. He's expected to get his own signature edition of the shoe next year with presumably his own logo, but in the meantime it's pretty convenient that he shares the same jersey (No. 3) number as Marbury.

I think those things are really ugly. Lets see if Ben Wallace will keep getting high numbers of rebounds like that.

I think the new starbury shoes are awesome, when i first saw them , i couldnt believe the look for the price, i wish when i was a kid these shoes came out , i was burnin up kicks every month literally , it amazes me that people are actually comparing them to 125 nikes or lebrons, shows you that there just as good as those corporate communists who inflate there kicks, while the only thing a kid can do is watch them through the store window , i bought a pair of the starbury 2 , and im buying 2 more pairs , marbury is american in my opinion.

The starbury shoe collection is one of the best out there right now.They the looks,performance,and for the first time ever a nba stars basketball shoe has the price $15. You can't beat that.I've seen kids rockin those more than some $150 lebrons. It's good to see ben join the starbury movement.
