Would you buy the shoes?

My 15-year-old is doing preseason basketball conditioning. She has not played organized bball in two years, but decided to go for it this year. Try-outs aren’t until November, but the “team” is being fitted for matching shoes. A request went home to have all the players have the same shoes, and that fittings would take place Friday. The cost is $73.00, a good $40.00 below retail. My daughter is a decent player. Would you buy the shoes without knowing if your kid made a team. Also, assume that there is not a need for bball shoes, she has a pair that fit.
