If I can't afford Adidas Superstars for DD...

What else might she like? What are teenage girls wearing trainer-wise at the moment?

They have various ones in Sports direct from time to time. It's worth checking online.
I'd compromise on getting them for her but the specific colour request won't be fulfilled. That's extortionate.
If you sign up for PayPal you may have the option to pay in three installments. She can contribute this way.

what colour does she want? It’s usually the specific colours that make the prices astronomical

Campus here. But also New Balance 550 and converse. Schuh have a good sale at the moment.

I’m not a teenager, so my opinion is worthless.
But, to me, they look exactly the same as any other Adidas trainers.

I get it, though…she likes what she likes.

Fingers crossed for you on Vinted.🤞🏻

Absolutely look on vinted...my ds wanted a pair of £170 trainers...I found them on vinted, worn once, for £50! My DD also wanted converse and I got her a pair for £15

Gazelle all the way!

Do also keep an eye out in TK Maxx. They sometimes have adidas trainers

queenofthesuburbs · 16/07/2025 20:55

They had some colours on asos for £55 ( my daughter 16 likes the spezial

BBQBertha · 16/07/2025 20:59

She’s worn her old pair for 3 years?! I’d almost be tempted to pay the £150 as that’s like £50/year. If only my DC could make them last so long!!! More like new ones every six months for one of them as he’s constantly growing!

Vinted is fab, but be careful of fakes.

Alltheparmesanplease · 16/07/2025 21:06

Adidas Gazelles

whynotmereally · 16/07/2025 21:51

Yes Vinted I’d go very good for a bargain

Princessfluffy · 17/07/2025 05:50

I sold some lovely ones on Vinted for £5 and they took quite a while to sell so they don’t make much money on there! Which is great news for buyers of course.
