Guess Who’s Back

Steph’s had a rough year. He was injured, fought openly with his coach, testified in court that he fucked a Knicks intern in the back of his SUV in a parking lot, was benched for unclear reasons (is crazy a reason?) and now watches games from home, or the Staples Center, hoping for a buyout while refusing to relinquish more than $1mil of his $20+mil salary.

He also put out $20 sneakers through Steve & Barry’s which shortly after filed for bankruptcy and closed its doors.

Now they’re back on Amazon.

Yes, they fall apart if you play basketball (or even wear them every day) but it’s such a radical and important, idea, and I’m proud of him for it.

This is how serious the idea is:

I don’t even like how they look, but I owned two pairs and wore them until they fell apart (which wasn’t very long, but I think I walk wrong).

This fall, I went to Steve & Barry’s final sale and couldn’t find a third pair in my size.

A typical Starbury:
