In 1996 Stephon Marbury became the first spokesman for AND1. He would get his own signature and be the NBA’s face of the brand as a young T’Wolf. Midway through his time in New Jersey Marbury would switch to Nike wearing the Flight Showbiz and Air Penny 4 among others. In time he returned back to AND1 and eventually switched back to Nike once more as a Knick. He would become most famous in the sneaker world for launching the Starbury, a $15 performance basketball shoe sold at Steve and Barrys. The line would expand to clothing and casual kicks and eventually a head tattoo.
