Sasha Obama was seen wearing a pair of Converse One Star for Target Lace-up Oxfords ($20) at the recent White House Easter Egg Roll. Personally, my kids love their Chuck Taylor black Converse hi-tops. I love them because they are fashionable for the kids and don't cost nearly as much as other Nike and Adidas sneakers, which they also like. It seems that Hollywood kids are also wearing the affordable shoes. Take a look at the pictures from Celebrity Baby Blog:

On a trip to a Beverly Hills playground, Amanda Peet’s daughter Frankie Benioff wore Converse Kids Chuck Taylor All Star® 2 Strap in Black ($32). In Saint Tropez, Salma Hayek’s daughter Valentina Pinault wore Converse All-Star Low Tops in navy ($26, plus save 15% with code CBB15 through 4/23/09). And at the release party for his mom Tori Spelling’s book Mommywood, Liam McDermott wore Converse All Star High Tops in Black ($26). Source: Celebrity Baby Blog

The fact that Sasha Obama wore a $20 pair of sneakers continues to reinforce the fact that President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama haven't lost sight of spending frugally.
