omg i want that

anyway the have become really trendy but i don't care because they're so cheap (all of mine are for under $60AU) and they go with everthing but most importantly for me it's because they come in colours that you can't find anywhere else (i have them in orange, neon pink and yellow )

I love spray painting shoes gold (or silver). Back in the day, they used to make us do that to our tap shoes. Then they would crack and out would come the can...

[DENiSSA]

how did they turn out? anyone compliment you on them

I've never been into converse. Even a few years back when I first got into the 'indie' club scene I never bought a pair. Though I did realise the appeal of a kick about, shabby pair of trainers by a brand with some nostalgic value, so I bought a pair of Dunlops. (Much cheaper too at only a tenner and when wasted in said clubs I always knew which feet were mine.)

Now I just wear cheap plimsoles.

I love the plain old classic converse anckle boots, the red ones and black ones.

 

[juzuxel]

Those metallic Converse trainers look awesome ! I want those!

 

[Asha123]

Am I the only one who thinks they look tacky?

 

[Kimkhuu]

^ Find them tacky too....

 

[LoveMyBoots]

Do you guys prefer high tops or the low ones?

I think both are fine but I probably lean towards the low ones because everyone at my school always put their socks under the shoelaces to make it appeared all puffy or something. (I don't mind as long as I don't see 4 pairs stuck under their.)

*Sorry, I think they are a bit tacky too.

 

[Nataliaa]

I personally have a soft spot for them, I do think they can look Tacky but you just have to wear them rite ! I have a white pair i lurvvvvvee !

 

[Elli]

Do you guys prefer high tops or the low ones?

I prefer the low ones...don't know why really. I think I can wear them with more stuff or something, without feeling too "conversy"..

 

[Asha123]

I like the high tops I have no clue why though. I am glad I am not the only one!
