Former NBA All-Star and affordable sneaker evangelist Stephon Marbury is bringing back his line of cheap kicks, and calling out Michael Jordan on social media for selling shoes at much higher price points.
Marbury says MJ and Nike don’t take into account the fact that a lot of kids and their parents can’t afford those oh-so-coveted Js, which has at times led to deadly results.
Stephon says people are blind to Jordan’s lack of social responsibility.
Jordan has been robbing the hood since. Kids dying for shoes and the only face this dude makes is I don't care. The time will change!

I'm just trying to create access for all. Sadly people hate the idea because others will have. https://t.co/975kL8XVYT

Yeah I know. People are so caught up in the greatness of his play that they lost their way. https://t.co/701YL3TfRC

I hate when kids cry because they can't get this dude shoes because they can't afford to buy them. It's hard on moms https://t.co/xG1Fqdp5fL
