![]() I guess we'll just have to wait until the new Starburys drop to see if quality basketball sneakers can really be made for $5. Rodney Henry (left) and Bernard King Protege Media, LLC At the 2017 charity event, Henry learned King’s autobiography, Game Face, was being published and offered to put it on the silver. According to Henry, making basketball sneakers will run you at least $15-20, so while he agrees that Jordans are overpriced, he thinks Marbury has exaggerated greatly. Henry, who once produced a documentary on Marbury’s life and is now starting up a new discount shoe company called Ballstreet, said his former Protege shoes cost at least 16-19 to make. I have already done it at Sears/KMart under my Protege brand. “My knowledge and experience of creating the Protege shoe allows me to definitively say that I don’t care where you’re producing it that no, you cannot make a good, safe, high performance, technical shoe for five dollars," he said. A good shoe with the proper construction is going to run you between 30 to 40. Henry worked with Marbury on the Starbury line up until 2006, before leaving to start his own line of affordable basketball sneakers called "Protege." Henry spoke to the New York Post about how his experience selling affordable basketball sneakers at retailers like K-Mart and Sears prompted him to call out Marbury for claiming that Air Jordan's can be made for as little as $5. While nobody is really coming to Jordan's defense when it comes to prices, Marbury's former business partner Rodney Henry is calling him out for some of the claims he made. It all started when he announced the return of his affordable Starbury sneaker line, which led to his criticism of Jordan, calling him "greedy" for charging so much for his sneakers.
