converse all-star appreciation

i was in town today and i decided to check out how many people were wearing chucks

it would have to have been around twenty percent of everyone, without even compensating for the hordes of suits on their lunch breaks

i was going to make a thread about how they used to be cool but have been ruined by over-exposure, but i could never betray my first and only true footwear romance

i still love you, Chuck, no matter how mainstream you get. i have watched your meteoric rise with pride

so who wears all-stars? between my girlfriend and i there are 7 pairs in my house. they are all awesome and i always want to buy more

so? black , white, or fluro green with hot pink laces? hi-top, low-top or knee-high? canvas, leather or terry toweling?

you're either with chuck or get fucked

    I've got a pair of full black converse.

    Oddly, that small tidbit doesn't make this thread suck less.

    I actually just read the first post, and am amazed you managed to pull off the "sucks now because they're popular" and "I liked them when they were underground" in the same post.

    That's pretty impressive.

    it doesn't suck that they are popular

    i mean it's the gut reaction, right? lolmainstreamblows etc. calling something a sell-out is the default reaction to popularity these days

    but i can be above that

    I'm pretty sure my shoes aren't designed by anyone famous enough for the name to be recongnized. They are, however, stitched and constructed in the same sweatshop as yours.

    The difference is that I pay cost for mine, while you pay like 800% extra because you like having a trademarked star on your fucking shoe.

    You made an 'appreciation' thread about a shoe.

    No further research was required.

    And I didn't assassinate shit. This thread is a stillborn.

    Man, fuck chucks. I like the retro style Adidas line. I've had the same pair of Adidas Dragons for 2 or 3 years now and they're still my favorite shoe.

    I have a pretty darn nice pair of Chucks, that I picked up for the reasonable price of $20
    They're actually pretty comfortable.

    They cast a shadow like a sundial in the morning light. It was half past 10.
