I vote one. And wear them until they fall completely apart. The aren't worn in until you have to tape them together somewhat

Two. Converse are cool I guess, but they are extremely uncomfortable in my opinion. Vans can come out with pretty stupid looking shoes sometimes, but these are pretty nice.

!@#$%! 01.21.2008 03:51 PM

save your coin & splurge in a strong mind

Trasher02 01.21.2008 03:51 PM

I voted two, I think they're perfect for you.

king_buzzo 01.21.2008 03:56 PM

ima try both 2 and 3 out and see; i'm sick of allstars.

!@#$%! 01.21.2008 03:56 PM

i hate converses. they are unconfortable as fuck. a retro relic for hipsters.

king_buzzo 01.21.2008 03:58 PM

^ i find them convortable, but i've worn them the past 3 years so im kinda sick of them.

gualbert 01.21.2008 04:03 PM

I wear n°1 for 15 years , but if you're a good consumer , buy everything.

that thin sole and the banana shape foot are not for me

shoe technology has evolved since the 20's.

I have to admit I like the converse high tops, even though I think Pumas and Airwalks (sort of the old school skater preference) are a bit more versatile and comfortable. My everyday knockabout shoes are green suede Pumas. Can you find Pumas or Airwalks in your neck of the woods? I think they'd also be cheaper than the Converse.

Alex's Trip 01.21.2008 04:06 PM

#2 for sure. I like the vans slip ons but tons of people have them, so I guess the laces will do.

sonicl 01.21.2008 04:09 PM

Chuck Taylors are cool as fuck, obviously, but they're one hell of a cliche.

For many years, this was my footwear of choice:

 


But I hand painted a Fila logo on mine, to take the piss out of all the people who were buying stupidly expensive trainers.

same, my foot is too hobbit-like for them.

The second Vans are good shoes. They make an all black pair which are cool. But, check your K-mart or Big W or the likes, as here you can get identical shoes as that, and I mean identical just without the Vans logo (they have no logos or brands on them) for like $8. Unfortunately they don't make my size in them, they only go to 12.

RIPfrey05 01.21.2008 07:32 PM

Those are likeeee sort of dull imho no offense!
COP THIS SHIV
 

Norma J 01.21.2008 07:36 PM

I'd never wear them.

phoenix 01.21.2008 07:48 PM

# 3 like a million times over.

wait are you a guy or a girl.

cons are cuter on girls. vans are cuter on guys.

unless you're a fag or a dyke. ahah. then maybe its the other way.

the second pair of vans are gross.

Sheriff Rhys Chatham 01.21.2008 08:00 PM

Fuck Chucks!

Cantankerous 01.21.2008 08:39 PM

+1

#3 is the coolest of those three.

but I personally always wear:
 

They are comfortable, retro, and you can actually play sports in them without destroying your feet.
so if you want to dress like an unfashionable 40 year old, rock the Adidas.

_slavo_ 01.22.2008 01:10 PM

This is the brand, that I've worn for past 10 years or so.

 


High quality and good looking.

notice the shoes.

however notice the "run dmc" patch in the back of the shoes you criticize.

this is where it comes from

:D but it's true.

_slavo_ 01.22.2008 01:36 PM

Ah, I see, emotional confusion followed by abandonment of Etnies shoes,..

*writes prescription*

..


Here, use this twice a day


:D

mangajunky 01.22.2008 01:37 PM

mine aren't those limited edition Run DMC, but I'd wear em if they were the same price. I love Run DMC.

I have white with black, white with red, black with white, and a weird white upper with black rubber and stripes.

Inhuman 01.22.2008 01:44 PM

Save your money. But if you must insist, get No Sweat sneakers. They're built better than Cons and are fair trade. Don't give into the whole "need authentic Converse bullshit" that many adolescents are trapped in today. They're the same price as cons too.

mangajunky 01.22.2008 01:46 PM

You really can't get any cooler than that. Take note folks, this is what three cool dudes look like.

Norma J 01.23.2008 05:43 AM

I like it how Run DMC and alot of the 80s/early-90s rappers wore regular fitting clothes, as opposed to the 'rappers' (if you will call them that) of today.
