Starbury & PSAL deal to help NY city high school athletes

Stephon Marbury and national casual apparel retailer Steve & Barry's announced they are donating a free pair of Starbury One high performance basketball sneakers to every varsity high school boys basketball player in New York City.

The donation of 3,000 pairs of Starbury Ones is part of a new agreement that makes the Starbury brand a Partner of the Public Schools Athletic League (PSAL). The PSAL directs all athletic competition among the 193 public high schools in the five boroughs.

One hundred seventy five (175) of those schools participate in varsity boys basketball and approximately 15 players on every team will receive a pair of Starbury One sneakers. Each box of sneakers shipped to the high schools includes a DVD containing a special message from Stephon Marbury.

The Starbury One is part of the Starbury Collection of clothes and footwear launched by Stephon and Steve & Barry's this summer. Retailing for just $14.98 and delivering the same quality as the most expensive basketball sneakers marketed by other top brands, the Starbury One was created as the result of Stephon's vision to eliminate the incredible pressure kids and parents feel to spend top dollar on the latest clothes and sneakers.

To Stephon and Steve & Barry's, the Movement the Starbury Collection has sparked is also about taking responsibility for one's actions, working hard to get what you want from life, and treating others as you wish to be treated. Recognizing the PSAL as instrumental in his development in becoming an NBA star for the New York Knicks, the donation of Starbury One sneakers is Stephon's way of saying "thanks" to an organization that still means very much to him.
