I have them in black and red.

[macrodollar]

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

[Danny Himself]

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.

[Washing Machine]

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.

[Prisstina]

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

[Everyneurotic]

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.

[pbradley]

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.

[pokkeherrie]

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.

[Sheriff Rhys Chatham]

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.

[Inhuman]

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.
