So, my DS has size 9 feet (he's 11) so it's all quite expensive if we get it wrong

Are Air Force ones still in. I'm going to scour Vinted etc, but, someone on the christmas thread that it's Adidas now for girls. So, any fashionista's able to tell me what it is for boys

Air force 1 and Nike Dunks/high tops in my area. Absolute no to converse and vans. Air force 1s in my experience need tried on. They can be quite big. DS is a 10 but only a 9 in air force.

DS 12yo likes puma, so he has puma. Never heard of Adidas being for girls!

My 12 year old has AF1 and Nike Dunks.

Oh, I didn't mean just for girls, just that tween/ teen girls moved onto Adidas Spezial's (I remember when it was the Reebok pump v LA Gear era)

White plain air force are never in sale but on Nike today in sale some reduced price black and white dunks plus others

It's Nikes for tween and younger teen boys here - black AF1s as their school shoes and any other Nikes for outside school.

For older teen boys they are a bit more adventurous but mostly Nike or New Balance.
