I dont know if this is a bad idea for the simple fact they are selling the shoes for 40 bucks.  They are not making a major profit off of them and they look to be distributing them through schools.  40 bucks for a basketball shoe, no matter how gimmicky, is a steal.    That is pretty cheap for a nike shoe and VERY cheap for a shoe that is somewhat custom.  It's not easy if you have wide feet to find shoes that fit well as they are designed with more narrow feet in mind.

When I first read this I thought it was a joke then the Jordan logo of him dunking with his legs open suddenly turned into a silhouette of that same logo but with a tomahawk in his hand lol

wk if Marbury can put out Starburys for 15 bucks, why does Nike ask $42?
You know Nike could give these away and still profit.  I guess the one silver lining is if the shoe does fit the Native American foot better, then thats good.
