what are good high end basketball shoe for high school boys?

hi. it's been an while since  i played basketball and kind of lost touch with baskball snickers (brands, cost, etc). I want to buy my 15 yrs old nephew (5'11") who is really into basketball a nice pair of basketball shoe for his birthday. Can anyone let me know what are good shoes that lots of kids want these days? what brands and kinds and the cost. 

I'm not planning on getting some crazy over $1000 collectible or anything like that. But, some decent high end shoes that most basketball loving kids would save their allowance for or want for their birthday or Christmas. Something that would help him play well and last long time and also, be able to show off a little. Thanks.
