       | I've only ever heard of two on this list. Interesting.

       | Also to note there's shockingly low diversity in footwear and
       | phone choices. Why is the teen market such a winner take all

         | Lulu and Nike seem very status-oriented and I believe they
         | don't list on Amazon directly so makes sense there.
