"Yes, it's possible that there's a correlation between high priced running shoes and injuries."
It could simply be that people that buy the most expensive shoe are also the people that jump into running too quickly, train too hard and do not have the body types (yet) for running. I run about 15 miles a week and all good runners that I know (they aren't injured all the time) do not own the most expensive shoes...they own the ones that feel the best.
