[ullie]

[LesbianGhost]

They look kinda (Very) dorky.. Sorry.

[properclone]

dorky

If you asked anyone who knows to define converse in one word, it'd be that. That's the whole point!

[LesbianGhost]

And someone would want to wear dorky shoes why?

[properclone]

Because not everyone is the same as everyone else ;)

o.O Okay, if you are judging my music taste.. about 1/5 of it is punk, if that. Smeh, I'm not a punk, end of. Plus - lots of people who aren't "punk" can wear converse?
Thanks Joe, by the way. ^^

[Rawr]

Woot converse rock ive got a pair of yellow ones!! :D :D :D

[Chaz]

lol i had ones when i was young!

[Jashmine]

I think they look cool xD I've never owned a pair though.

[ChloeDust]

Yeh i aint a punk and i wear converse o.O.

Also i remember when i was a wee child i had some light denim boot ones <3 lol but the All star circle bit at the side stuck out and was rubber material not like the flat circle ones now ^^ my mum and dad were telling me how they use to wear 'em o.O lmao ^^

[properclone]

yeah they still sell those, i was contemplating on getting them but i like to be lairy...

[ChloeDust]

They still sell the ones with sticky-outy rubber bits O.O or denim ones? ;o

[Steven]

I want all black ones.
but I cant find them anywhere but ebay and like my mum wont let me bid.
So like yeah I know I said I have a black pair but it has white shell.

[Fingerboots]

Yeah, all black for school, mootha won't buy and I'm too poor. ;D I have the black/white one's though, I get away with them so 'tis all good.

[-Soph-]

I think they're quite nice :p
I used to have some pink ones
I dont know where they've gone though :p :eusa_booh

[Anti-Frizz]

OMG... Converse are like... the best! When I was like 5, I had pink ones... Now I have the urge to get some dark green or turquoise ones. Btw... Just for the record... Im not punk.

[Fingerboots]

See, not punks! :p Go dark green ones, I want them. I do I do I do-hoo!

[Jim Rotates]

I love converse <33! I saw the coooolest black and pink ones and I so have to get them :p....now all I need is some money lol. I have the black and white ones but i drew all over them and have multi-coloured laces. I'd like to switch to black laces now though...

[Fingerboots]

Haha, one of mine has pink Glastonbury laces with the white. In fact, I'll take a picture because I'm really bored. x]
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y6/SwedishFrisbee/Converseandtoe.jpg
xD I'm stood on a chair and could only be bothered to put one of them on. HOLEY SOCKS! Woo, tried to hide my toe :p Amagad, they look so clean and.. white, hmm? That is a second sock layer I haven't got orange skin, lol. *Shuts up* \o/

[Jim Rotates]

(looks down at own shoes) wow, they're so clean compared to mine :o :P . Your laces are so cool :D

[Hanurr]

converse is the BEST! I have 4 pairs of chuck taylors, a blue cargo pattern 1, a pink cargo pattern 1, navy ones, and red ones. I'm getting some more soon. xD GO CONVERSE!

[deltateamaplha]

Ok I hate them Avril wears them Hillary Duff wears them whats goin on there ! :o

[Steven]

Yahhh. I like them. And Fingerboots yours are so cleann

[Hanurr]

you should see how clean my mate's are. She slaps people who step on them and then cleans them with her spit. o.o strange-o. :)

[Steven]

Thats gross.

[Rawr]

Converse are for the Koolest only :p ! Mainly worn by skaters though

[Joe.]

brill :)

i think their gr8 :P :p

[properclone]

Mine are cleaner than Fingerboots'.. then again I brought them three days ago, but I have been mountain biking in them. they survived though :D

[RedStratocas]

I wear DC's :D Converses are cool, I dont wear them, because my feet are really weird shaped, they are sort of narrow, so its kind of uncomfterble.

Just because someone wears a certain shoe, doesnt mean that they are apart of a certain group. In fact, converse is actually a basketball shoe, invented in the 50's, and now they are like a style. For a while, they thought they were the first ever basketball shoe, but then a few monthes ago, they found out basketball shoes were first invented in my town in a rubber factory in the late 1800's :o. Not that exiting, but not much happens in our town besides for exploding churches (long story :rolleyes: )

[Jim Rotates]

I wear DC's

Skate shoe....man.... :p lol. I had Vans before I got my Converse. I have a pair of Roxy's which I skate in because I find them easier to than my Converse.

[xJoeYx]

I dont like them one bit. They scream out "I want to be alternative".

[RedStratocas]

And your shoes cry out: "I judge people by what shoes they wear" :rolleyes:

[Hanurr]

Very good point, RedStratocas. Very good point.
My 'spit-shoe-cleaner' friend is big on basketball. :)

She probably drycleans her shoes or something once a week. :P

[:Hazel]

They aren't my thing, but whatever floats your boat. ;)

[Moose]

Im not a follower! I make my own shoes, theres a nifty place here where you make your own shows, for a hefty, but not wallet shrinking price but its worth it! (make vans, converse, etc)

I don't like converse, too many people wear them.

[RedStratocas]

I dont like pants, too many people wear them :P

I find it sort of odd how some of you guys are all "Anti-bully", and then say "OMG! You must be a punk and like green day if you wear converse!". I guess people dont like to think of themselves as a bully

[.:F:.two]

That first line was just lies, ALL LIES, and rather stupid ones at that.

[RedStratocas]

Yeh, they do have sites like that, but they are actually comming out with a site where you can customize a converse (and obviously buy them). My friend read about it in a magazine. Not only colors, but you can put personal messages around the outsides and stuff (which people in my school do with pens during class, but when you do it online, you can choose a font :P ), it looked neat.

Its better than whoever came up with the idea for the site where you can make your own custom m&ms

[-JT-]

bst shoe ever invented!!! i have blue with pink laces

[Jim Rotates]

I dont like pants, too many people wear them :P


ROFL. Good point hehe.

[Fingerboots]

Yeah good point about the pants, lol.
But I must admit, people in my town started to claim that they're 'original' and 'alternative' because they wear converse.. I quote from a boy at school "I'm not a townie, see. I'm wearing converse!" *He shows us his pristine white, newly washed shoe* It's like.. What?!.. Now people are sick of them and have moved on to the whole emo look. Sheesh, trends these days.

I don't really that had anything to do with what everyone else was saying, but thought I'd say it anyway.

Ho ho ho.. Green giant!

[RedStratocas]

Converse used to be a completely different story. Converse used to mean you were a jock

[Fingerboots]

Wooahh you'd never know that now. Haha, here you come in with more background info, music now shoes ^^ But definately in the place I live they were used to define their 'alternative' look along with black hair dye and ear plugs.

[dpcp6745]

I don't like converse shoes :( Sry.

[Fingerboots]

Heh, no one is forcing you to like them don't worry! It's only a matter of opinion if you do or you don't anyway.
Oh yeh about the customising converse, you can do it on their site (click here (http://www.converse.com/converseone/)). Design your own - Personalise them with your own writing and colours. Thanks for that Joebert. :8

Even though I don't like them, I had fun designing one with that website :)

[RedStratocas]

You dont have to like them, its just the people who say they are only for punks and emos.

PS, cool link, but my friend read about that in a magazine, and it said it was customizable to the max :P Like gradients and the patterns are customizeable, like size of the patterns. This was like 6 monthes ago, so maybe they arent finished.

[Blader_Boy]

I have never even herd of converse.. lol. I tend to buy puma/ lacoste shoes atm but over the past few years i've had everything from vans to nike shoes.

I agree i don't like lables i just like to look good.

and about the shoes.. urm not to my taste ;)

[Fingerboots]

Ooo, interesting! I guess that is just a simple sort of fill-in version. I wonder when the site will be finished, sounds much better on the customisable side.

[Rachi]

They look kinda (Very) dorky.. Sorry.


I kno :o

[rainberry]

OMG! I cant believe some people don't like converse!?
Everyone wears converse at my school (we wear our own clothes).
Converse are the coolest!

[Owen]

I don't like them
they're too random for me and the side bits can be a bit high sometimes, my mate had some last yeah, oh the fun me and my friend adam had taking the mic out off him. The silly shoes make me laugh and the big star at the side reminds me off newcastle for some reason :s

But to the point

Dont like them
