The Starbury One's have been out for two weeks and while I'm not copping a pair (I prefer to ball in the Crazy-8's.), a few of our regular contributors took a spin in the $14.95 kicks. Here's what they thought:
WB posted on August 27th:
I bought a pair of Starbury One's based in part on this blog. What do I think of them?
Well..... When I got them I had to try them on myself because no one works the Dept. where they're for sale. They were on the shelves with a couple of open boxes filled with shoes that had'nt been stocked yet. I got a size 11, one size larger than I usually wear. They fit, but it was hard to get past the tight lacing. The Sneaks look the part of BBall shoes, but are thinly made. There's clear plastic in parts that provide the Bling, but the odd inner-lined lacing at the top by the ankle makes them hard to slip on and off. I also noticed the inner sole padding came up when I forced my foot in the shoe.
I got the All-Black Starbury's hoping they'd look like anyone else's shoe should these sneaks become a joke. That way from a distance no one will know I have them on. The Pleather that makes up the shoe is smooth across the foot with delineated plastic linings where your foot will move - joints to the part of the show that give way when you run and jump. It felt thin. The shoe isnt heavily lined ( that's where the cutback in price is found). When you have them on, you feel locked in at the ankle. The upper half of the shoe tightens up pretty solidly around the high ankle. It has the odd laces though, laces that line the inner lining of the shoe at the high ankle. It makes it harder to tighten up. Biggest notable is the sole. It's thin. Real thin. It's like walking in a padded slipper. Here's where they also cut costs. Running in these sneaks , you could tell they would'nt last a summer of Hooping it up on the court. With weak padding ( no sole/soul- kinda like Starbury's Game) you'll burn thru these shoes in no time. Either your feet will hurt or you'll be Gellin to keep them going. I guess that's the plan though. They're so cheap you can afford to go out and get a new pair.

...the tongue of the shoes looks like it's held in by cheap medical gauze. The leather is extremely thin, which means that the sole actually slips around when you walk. And the insole almost fell out when I pulled out the paper that they stuff into the shoe so it holds its shape.
Well obviously you get what you pay for. The Starbury's are all over ebay in case you don't want to drop by a Steve & Barry's. Anyways, thanks guys for your posts on the Starbury's. And if anyone else copped a pair of the Starbury's, feel free to let us know. Now I'm going to run down the UPS trunk for my delivery of the $250 Jordan IV Lightning Set... yeah right!!!
Editor's Note: Basketbawful just posted a very comprehensive review of the Starbury One's. (The Official Starbury One Shoe Review)

Hardaway 2 (II) - Black Blue White
The Hardaway 2 (II) - Black / Blue / White was released on July 3, 2002, and retailed for $150. The Hardaway 2 (II) - Black / Blue / White features a blue colorway, with blue leather . It was more of a summer shoes, as you cant tell from the colorway and release date. The chrome, as used in the official colorway, refers to the accents on the back of the shoe, as well as the chrome lacing eyelets, which are definitely attention grabbers. The stitching and small perforations located on the upper are also really nice touches, as the Hardaway 2 (II) - Black / Blue / White are aesthetically pleasing as well as serve a purpose.

Miles Austin, Dallas Cowboys: The Dallas Cowboys may have to pay dearly for an early decision last season not to renew Austin's contract. The prodigy really showed what he could do throughout the year, with over 1,300 receiving yards.

Austin is in a prime renegotiation position with owner Jerry Jones, and could still yet wear the blue and white. Millions of fans in the Lone Star State have their fingers crossed, hoping this one works out in their favor.

While this subject can be very touchy for most people, my opinion is that there has to be a middle or common ground that we all can find. I do appreciate that you've added relevant and intelligent commentary here though. Thank you!

Product Description You may have seen Fitflop 's summer sandals to help you, but what to do when the weather turns cooler? That's when you trade them in for the Super Boat Short boot. If you sure its soft leather upper, rounded sole and the love that increases leg, calf and buttock muscle activity, improves posture and reduces stress on your lower back and feet. Now every trip is a workout-without disrupting your busy lifestyle.Because of the manufacturer created in the United Kingdom, over a two year collaboration between former Bliss spa entrepreneur Marcia Kilgore, Biomechanist Dr. David Cook and a team of untiring footwear engineering, Fitflop were initially designed to help modern women squeeze a little!
More exercise into their increasingly hectic schedules. "I thought, how wonderful if I could imagine that would help fight the onset of cellulite while I walk to the office," says Kilgore. "I work. I have children. I have a husband. And the likelihood of me seeing the inside of a gym in the next ten years is slim to none. That said, I would obviously prefer to go with slim." Kilgore found Dr. Cook at the Centre for Human Performance at LSBU in London, where he was injecting the patent-pending "micro-wobble board" technology in mind in the midsole of the feature-forward flip flop. Slightly destabilizing, Fitflop feature three different densities of EVA foam in a single merged under the feet part, for challenge your muscles more every time you step – to provide a workout while you walk.

Moreau. Rookie library use is another problem, paper view, play and stream outside his Montana - Ellis's rotten war style is very complementary, at least on the offensive end is no problem. As for the defensive end height is limited, it seems that should not have considered in Nelson within. The results? Ellis says that in the pre-season and Curry do not want to cooperate in the backcourt, how to solve this problem remains to be seen.
