I have 7 pairs :cry:

It's an addiction, I'm sorry.

I have, the normal ones.
Green high tops
Grey "Converse" high tops
Beige low cuts
Red and black low cuts
Jogger ones.
Leather pair.

It's absurd, I know, but I love them.. So light and great for my feet.

they're not comfortable at all for me :?
but nevertheless, i have, at the moment, 4 pairs. i'd get more if my parents wouldn't object. and it kind of bothers me that so many people wear them nowadays.
navy blue hi-tops
green hi-tops
black lo-tops (don't wear these anymore)
monochrome black hi-tops

Not the same brand, but I have one pair of 'No Sweat" sneakers that look like those. They're army green and black.

ah. is it because of the price, or because you object to the fact that the new chucks are manufactured in Asian countries?

Sweatshops and I don't wear leather. That limits my choices.

yeah, the "sweatshops" was also implied. Chucks aren't made of leather, they're made of canvas. there are SOME leather and suede variants, but, it's mostly the one-ply cotton canvas.

The scary thing is, I remember when they weren't quaint retro, and most of the NBA still wore them. Yes I am an old fart.

I was just explainitn why I don't wear "normal" shoes. They're useually made of leather and/or in sweatshops. The "no sweat" brand is safe.

I think I owned a pair 2 or 3 different times when I was a kid. If I remember correctly, they don't have as much padding as later models, but they're light and well designed. And if you twist your ankle, you can lace 'em up real tight and it's like an ace bandage.
The right answer to the wrong question is still the wrong answer to the real question.

Low-cut black converse are the only casual shoes I've worn in 5 years.

I used to wear them and went through a few pairs

too bad that they are owned by nike now, they probably were made in sweatshops beforehand but hadn't really thought about it. nike take over and it's suddenly quite apparent how the shoes are made.


The fact you guys own mulitple pairs at once is lame as
