Chreees Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Just arrived, fresh off the assembly line, straight from China... [img]http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p40/INCUBUSRATM/Random/conversecustomhightops.jpg[/img] I love them. I also have a pair of identical low-cuts that just came as well, Brooke told me (I'm at work, and not sure why they came separately and so much later in the day). I designed them myself using Converse's Design-Your-Own site. They've had this site up for a good while, but just recently added the option to do them in leather. I only buy Converse in leather or suede now, as the canvas doesn't hold up for very long (about 6 months of average wear before they get holes in them for me). First pair I bought were the ones Converse made for Will Smith in "I, Robot." Just like the original black high-tops, except in leather. They released them for sale along with the movie and I never purchased canvas ones again. The suede ones I bought are black and red, I bought them when I was 17, but I have never been able to find them again. I actually have a picture of them still that I for some reason have: [img]http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p40/INCUBUSRATM/Hookah/6900-358450-d.jpg[/img] Pics of the low-cuts once I get home and open them up! Here's the site where you can go design your own if you love Converse! All kinds of crazy sales and discounts going on right now due to the holidays. I got my pairs 25% off each. My dad actually got both pairs for me as an early Christmas present, otherwise they would have had to wait a while. Anyway, here's the site: [url="http://www.converse.com/#/products/shoes/converseOne/scratch/all"]http://www.converse....One/scratch/all[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vendetta_revived Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Nice shoes Chris! You say converse canvas shoes don't last long for you? What do you do with em? I bought a pair last year and they are still good as new (apart from being dirty, washing is due). PS: Mine are also black and red. @Absalom: A man must have only 2 pair of shoes! +1 additional pair for each/any activities that require special kind of shoes.

Chreees Posted December 7, 2011 Author Share Posted December 7, 2011 Haha, thanks guys. Stuie- 80s neon ones sound awesome! Do it! Vendetta- Post up a pic of your red/black ones! As for the canvas ones only lasting me 6 months or so, that's with pretty much wearing them everyday. They form these stupid holes at the pressure points (where the foot bends when you walk). At that point I don't like to wear them anymore. As for other shoes, I own: -Brown Etnies. Love them; most comfortable shoes I own. -Black Vans slip-ons. I wear them to work, haha. -Black/red Vans that lace up. Don't wear too often for whatever reason. -One pair of dress shoes that I hate and never wear because they kill my feet. I wear the Vans instead, haha. -One pair of brown sandals that I wear in the summer with shorts. The rest are old Converse I just don't have the heart to throw out and a couple pairs of random shoes I never wear but are perfectly good. I need to go through them all and throw out/give away all I don't wear... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absalom Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 well, right. boots are also important. not in the picture, I have 7 or 8 pair of boots as well (3 pr work boots, hiking boots, cowboy boots, a couple pair lower casual boots...) It just helps create a more diverse palette when ur getting dressed. but I also have two really big closets full of clothes, so the shoes just seem less out of place in perspective...

herbalsmoke Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I dont know about you guys but i can only wear high top shoes. Sure it makes sense in the winter so snow doesnt get in. But even in the summer when im wearing shorts you would see me with hightops and socks =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jorlyfish Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Not going to list out all of my shoes (I think I have somewhere around 30 pairs, about half of which are heels), but on the cool sneakers side of things, I have a pair of these: [img]http://s4.thisnext.com/media/largest_dimension/CD8EC544.jpg[/img] That white part on the side has blue zebra stripes that show up in sunlight.

absalom Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 lol...problem is, I wouldn't know where to start...I'd pick up a pair, and think about it and then be like, 'oh, I like to wear those with...' and then I'd pick up another pair and be like, 'oh those shoes have traveled to 15 different countries with me' and so on and so forth...I know I know...it's crazy to have any attachment to stupid clothes. but irrational though it may be, there it is...
