Some of the wealthier kids tend to go for All Saints.

Haha, I agree.
However I sell footwear to retailers all around the country and there is certainly a fair difference between looks depending on the location and the backgrounds of the residents.
Just living in Norfolk now compared with living in Leicester I dress differently, replicating your peers is a good thing imho.
If the OP is from Cornwall or Norfolk I will admit I must be a judgmental asshole, but I bet he is from one of the bigger cities with the design influences shown in his products.
My daughter is 18 and I don't think she has ever owned a pair of trainers other than for sport, she definitely hasn't owned a pair of joggers and I have only ever seen her in her school leavers hoody.
Had we stayed in Leicester would she have been much different? Probably not a lot, but definitely a little.
I have retailers that own shops 10 miles away from each other and they say the stock is so different you would think it is 10,000 miles gap between them.
I agree that most kids will buy the same stuff all over the UK, but the influence from what they see on the street will make a difference.
