....if they were endorsed by Beckham or Rooney?
I saw something yesterday about an American sports star who decided it was disgraceful that a pair of Nikes should cost £120 (£2.66 to produce) and created an equally "cool" pair, complete with his signature, that will cost just £8.
Or will young people always want the expensive ones, no matter what?

Oh, for goodness sake - trainers are tennis shoes in the USA.

Sounds like a good idea to me. I dread when my son gets old enough to care about brand and what's "in". If they stick around long enough, he won't be in Nike's, that's for sure!
He's only 5 now, so I can get away with the cheap shoes as long as they have superheros on them (right now it's Batman).

Absolutely not, my 19 year old son would rather pay the highest price for trainers or clothes rather than buy the same ones from eg TK MAX. I have no idea where he gets his ideas but he seems to think the more he spends the better the item will be and the more street cred he will get. Needless to say he buys all his own stuff

It's the fashion industry that makes the price high and people will buy these trainers at this ridiculous price just to be fashionable.
Brand named trainers are no better than cheap ones which last longer!! My kids get what they are given - if they want the expensive one's then they can save up and pay for them!!!

I have 4 younger brothers aged 10 - 26. They all wear the latest gear and pay a fortune for it. Obviously the 10 and the 15 year old have my mum to buy theirs but they want to copy the older lads so she has to get them it...Me I'm not too bothered but i am the same with my lil girl aged6 she has all the lateast gear and alot of designer stuff...i suppose its a status thing and plus the stuff u pay out good money for is always better quality i think...

Sorry, I didn't know what a trainer was, either. Kids want to wear what's popular whether it's expensive or not. If a popular celebrity were to endorse a cheaper product, then kids would probably flock to it regardless of the price.

My teenager would wear anything that he thought was cool... he certainly doesn't whine about getting Nike Shox because of the quality. If everyone else is dying to have these shoes, he'll want them as well.

Good for this guy, I wish more stars would come forward and do this, almost certainly I would think that if they were endorsed by the likes of Becks then yes they would wear them.

Parents should refuse to buy them and insist their kids wear what is bought them. If the little darlings want to expensive clobber they buy it themselves with their own money. A refusal to give in to demanding kids and a life lesson for the wee angels in one answer. Not bad huh?

you will desire to attempt to apply the coolest "person pull ups" that are greater like undies. Ask the healthcare professional to describe to the guy it fairly is the two to apply that form of pantie, or they'd desire to apply an indwelling catheter. the reason isn't purely for ease in offering care, it fairly is for avoidance of dermis breakdown. The pull up panties will draw the moisture far flung from the physique.
