    I own three pairs of sneakers. Reebok hightops, New Balance RS running sneakers, and Vans checkered sneakers (made famous in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High").

      This reminds me of a discussion I had with a toy collecting friend of mine several years ago before reproductions made it a lot easier to complete an action figure. We were talking about how difficult and expensive it was to track down missing accessories for various vintage action figures (he is into Gilbert James Bond and I'm into Mego), and we both suddenly realized that we were willing to pay more money for shoes and clothes for our dollies than we were for ourselves.

                  Do you have Heelys in the US ??
                  They are shoes that have wheels built in to the soles that young kids (6-11) wear.
                  There's been a few kids that have been killed because they wheeled in to the road.

                      Hi Jay...how much are Converse in the US ?
                      Over here they start at £35.00 for the cheapest which is about $70.00
                      Does that seem about right ?

                              I usually go to the outlet, there is one in LA and another one in San Diego, they have good sales and sometimes they start at $9.99 on holiday sales.
