Is this a CBC staffer’s kid?

A family paid over $400 for Nike shoes that lasted 10 weeks

Spencer Potter, 15, has his eye on the ball when it comes to becoming a professional soccer player.

He’s been playing the game since he was three, practises several times a week with an elite team in Mississauga, Ont., and dreams of joining a pro team.

So when Nike released a limited edition of soccer cleats last fall — the Zoom Mercurial Superfly 9 Elite CR7 Firm Ground Cleats — Spencer wanted in.

Sorry kid, you got ripped off, 3rd world sweatshop multinationals do that every minute of every day.

But was this news? For whom?
