Stephon Marbury's dream to "change the world" by providing high quality, affordable sneakers and clothes to kids and parents became a reality when the NBA star's Starbury Collection hit Steve & Barry's stores last August. Consumers of all ages, community leaders, and media across the country have embraced the Collection -- including the $14.98 Starbury One basketball sneaker that Marbury has been wearing during NBA games. Marbury will debut the latest addition to the Collection -- the high performance Starbury Team basketball shoe -- during his game tonight between the New York Knicks and the Los Angeles Clippers at Madison Square Garden, and will wear the Starbury Team for the rest of the season.

The Starbury Team will be available exclusively at Steve & Barry's stores in a variety of color ways beginning in late March. It features aggressive styling, including patent leather accents around the heel and on the front of the shoe. Like the Starbury One, the Starbury Team will be available for just $14.98, and delivers similar construction as sneakers marketed by other top brands and retailers for as much as $200. The Starbury Team that shoppers will find at Steve & Barry's next month will be the exact same shoe Marbury laces up during his NBA(R) games. The Starbury One will continue to be available.

The Starbury Team was designed by leading athletic gear design firm Rocketfish, perhaps best known for providing high performance basketball sneaker concepts to Nike, Reebok and Converse. Rocketfish previously worked closely with Marbury and Steve & Barry's to create the Starbury One.

In addition to the Starbury Team, Starbury One and other sneaker styles, the Starbury Collection features over 50 casual and comfortable items for the entire family, including jackets, jeans, hoodies, t-shirts, athletic tops and shorts, a work boot, hats and other accessories, with nearly every individual item priced at approximately $10. All footwear in the Starbury Collection is priced at $14.98 and under.

The Starbury Collection has enjoyed unprecedented success since its introduction last summer, sparking what many have called a "Movement" that's revolutionizing the footwear and apparel industries. Leading trade magazine Footwear News named the Starbury One the "2006 Footwear Launch of the Year."
