i had olive green lowtops and navy blue hightops

now i have white lowtops, although they're not so white anymore, more like grey.

i also have a pair of high top red ones, but those have taps screwed into them.

The pair I currently have is the standard black hi-top. I think they're the shoes I'm going to get married in (my fiancee has a matching pair which she will wear as well.) All my other pair of shoes are converse-copies. I have some Vans prison issues, which have velcro, and some skating shoes called "Don't Do It" that are like converse with little banana graphics (like Andy Warhol's) on them.

i don't really wear them anymore, though.

seriously, looking like kurt cobain or some 14 year old indie kid isnt that important anymore.

i still gotta pair though, even though they are pretty ragged out. theyre black.


ah ha ha ha, the best post i've read from you all year. applause.

Black ones.

My older brother recently got the solid black All-Star shoe, I was jealous. I still like Converse, and still own a pair of the classic black. And who cares if they are owned by Nike, all smaller companies these days are owned by large one which are owned by larger ones, and bascially Rupert Murdoch owns everything and everyone.

don't really wear my cons very often, lot of walking makes my feet hurt... but every so often I'll wear em

I've not bought Converse since the Nike buy-out, but have black & white No Sweat hi-tops instead.

SuchFriendsAreDangerous 04.12.2008 03:37 PM

navy blue, hightops folded, fat laces [blue], with the tounge folded down under the laces like two-tones, just like these.

 

cryptowonderdruginvogue 04.12.2008 03:45 PM

i dont own a pair

i hate "cons"

SYRFox 04.12.2008 03:54 PM

I used to have black ones, but they died when they were six months old

I have black high tops. I wore them to my school formal (with a suit) and everyone thought I looked really cool, and was really original, but all I was doing was copying David Tennant in his Doctor Who role.

White high tops, White low tops, Red low tops.
The Red high tops are actually the oldest, i have had them since i was 14 (so 5 years) but i only wore them at weekends (i was not allowed to wear them to school) so they didn't get that worn out.
The White high tops are the most worn out, the whole of the rubber bottom is peeling off, and they are torn in lots of places. I wore them to college every day for the whole 2 years i was there.
The White low tops are the ones i wear the least, as i like the ankle support of the high tops. I covered the toes in silver duck-tape, i don't know why.

grey
camo
natural hemp (looks like burlap)
olive green (by John Varvatos - no laces, stitched down tongue)
black and grey stripes (not really converse - like goofy walmart rip-off)
