And The Forecast in Hell is for Snow

If you don't believe me, check out what NBA star Stephon Marbury is doing. Okay, if you'd rather not make the effort, I'll tell ya. Like a zillion athletes before him, he's endorsed a sneaker.

Big deal, right?

How about this...his Starbury sneakers cost 15 bucks. Yep, you read that correctly. Not one-five-zero as in a hundred and fifty--the cost of a pair of Air Jordans--but 15 (fifteen) bucks.

Affordable for young kids. What a concept, eh?

Didn't take a fancy signing bonus for 'em, either.

So, what's the deal? Must be a nutcake, huh? Nope...just a guy with a good memory of being poor and unable to afford designer tennis shoes.

Now if we can just talk kids into believing cheaper shoes are cool.
