what colour are your cons?????
 

hey its a sonic youth forum so why not have a converse-ation?


mine are red and i have a tatty old pair of light green ones too... all stars of course!

Maroon!

hell yea!

grey.

I have them in black and red.

Would I be unique in saying I don't own any?

Probably, they're pretty standard footwear..

yes, you should go out and get a pair immediately before the hipster gestappo come and take you away.

I have the generic tattered black and white high tops and a pair of brown and white low tops.

I'm with Macrodollar on this one. I dont own any

Too expensive, I can get the same kinda thing for much less money in discount shoe stores. I can walk through shit and not have to worry, I can then go buy more cheap shoes. Its life without worry.

I'm determined to counteract the hipsters hold on the music I love and this is my lame protest.

I used to sport the converse, hightops.
I'm not a fan anymore.
They're no good when you do as much walking as I.

i have two pairs of the regular black highs, although i would LOVE the fuzzy leopard print lows. accepting donations.

i have a pair of reds but i don't wear them anymore?

reasons? they are hipster bullshit and hella unconfortable, i rather wear sketchers, even if they're zero cool they are way more confortable and look better.

I don't see why people associate them with hipsters. Converse have been around since the fifties. My uncle who is in his early sixties still wears his converse shoes occasionally. They're just shoes. Why do people attach some more meaning on to shoes? Anyways, fuck fashion. I'll wear what I want.

I haven't had any since the mid 90's, but if I'd buy them again tomorrow then I'd go for the dark blue high ones of course.

exactly.

that's my attitude for not wearing them.

ps: i've had them since the 90's, if i still liked them, i would still wear them, but i don't, the hipster bullshit is just the cherry on top.

Yessss I have my chucks on right now. They're All Star White, which is really beige.

this is true. that is why you have to own a few pairs, and you can't, I REPEAT, CAN NOT wear them out like all the indie kids do. then your feet will hate you. you must wear your converse like a Crip, shiny and new with fat laces. then your feet will love you.

i hate canvas shoes. they get filthy. then you have to wash them and they get destroyed. they smell. and converses are particularly narrow, for people who have feet shaped like bananas. not in my closet.


nope. and i only wear sneakers when there are sports involved.


bravo, sir.

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 also have a pair of red, but theyre totally fucked.

i have some blue ones with big, fat, bright pink laces.

i don't really wear them anymore, though.

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.

i dont own a pair of cons but i have several ed hardy pairs

The old trusty pair

an ex flame got me a pair of these last christmas

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.

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

i dont own a pair

i hate "cons"

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.

let's see...

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)
