If you want cheap sneaks, visit Stephon Marbury at Steve and Barry's. Otherwise, Michael Jordan's latest offering might be up your alley... if you're prepared to spend anywhere from $230 to $2,000.

The retail price (in keeping with the whole '23' theme -- these are the 23rd edition of the Air Jordans) should be $230. As Chris Littmann of The Sporting Blog has uncovered, at least one of the 23 shops marked it up to $500 a pair. (That's more than $230 per shoe.) eBay's already gotten even worse -- as of this writing, a pair of size 11's is up to $1,726 with 31 bids and three hours to go.

Henry Abbott had a nice first-hand account of the line in New York City this morning, and KixintheCity.com reported folks lined up in the snow in Chicago yesterday for a shot at a pair (via The Association). Absolutely nuts.

I want to meet the dude willing to spend two grand on a pair of shoes. He better be pulling in at least six figures a year.

Jordan needs to feed that gambling habit.

Did they get to see them before they bought them. They are ugly. I would not even try them on.
