What is Hector's new trainers about?

Hector is thrilled when he receives new trainers for his birthday, but his excitement fades when he discovers they are missing the famous football logo. He feels embarrassed by their bright yellow stars, until Leroy, the skateboarding hero at school, steps in when Hector is bothered by a gang. Then Leroy arrives at Hector’s birthday party wearing a matching pair. Suddenly, Hector’s trainers are no longer unfashionable—they are the coolest shoes around.
