And rather than affiliate with a sleek, design-conscious company like Nike or a mega-retailer like Target, Marbury has chosen to cast his lot with a scrappy upstart. The Starbury line is available only at the up-and-coming cheapo apparel retailer Steve & Barry's.

Steve & Barry's also saves money in purchasing. It buys direct from overseas factories, like many others, but cuts costs by accepting longer lead times. ...That's why it buys more from factories in Africa and less from China than many rivals — most African countries face neither U.S. quotas nor duties.
