The Converse Wades have been going seriously down at eastbay. If you're looking for decent shoes without caring if it's the model's a bit older, I think you can get the Wade 1.3 for 29.99 ~ 30 USD and the Wade 2.0 for 39.99 ~ 40 USD.

The Starburys are cheap but I suggest you go for the Wades if you're looking for quality for a low budget. You can probably hit the factory outlets as well, you're bound to see some gems if you're patient and persistent enough.

As for me though, Im still waiting for my bro to get to the US. Gonna cop myself a Lebron V and Jordan 8 play-offs. Prices here in the Philippines are insanely high , Lebrons here sell for 8500 Php ~ 220 USD, compared to the US retail price of 99 ~ 140 USD, so buying there seems to be a bargain.
