Lets hear it from the people who wore Keds, Spauldings, Adidas, "WG shoes" (they made it up), Jordache, and shoes from payless or shoe carnival supply in the early 90's. And, about Adidas, we wouldn't get caught dead wearing them in that time period, funny how things change.
I was too young to work then and my parents were too cheap to buy me $100+ tennis shoes.
