Stephon Marbury drops light-up kicks that flash along to music
It took me 7 months to complete it but it was for sure worth it. 50 dollars for kicks that you can't miss! #starbury The movement is serious pic.twitter.com/hVlW26qUvM

Stephon Marbury's affordable sneaker brand Starbury is making a comeback in a big way.
The former NBA player and current Chinese Basketball Association star spent seven months working on his latest kicks, the Starbury Elite Lightups, which light up and flash along to music when synced with an iPhone app. The app also has controls that can change the color of the lights and turn them on or off.

Marbury noted on Twitter that he could charge $300 for the sneakers, which retail for $49.98, "but wouldn't disrespect humans." He also called out Nike's Jordan brand for their high prices.
Yes sir. Shoes don't cost that much to make as you see I'm producing shoes with technology. Jordan has been robbing the hood way to long. https://t.co/476i7a8XAA
