It’s common knowledge to know that a pair of Air Jordans is going to cost a nice piece of change in the $150-200 range. Michael Jordan’s sneakers line is almost as popular as the man himself, but former NBA All-Star Stephon Marbury is calling the GOAT out on his high prices.
Marbury spoke on Twitter of how Jordan is ‘robbing the hood’.
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!

Now Marbury is in the process of bringing back his sneaker line Starbury’s, but throwing shade at Jordan might not help.
Marbury is correct to say Jordans’ are expensive, however no one makes customers buy his shoes.
Will see if ‘His Airness’ responds to Marbury’s tweets.
