Its people who are like 'Oh i was they werent so mainstream' that make them mainstream, no matter how much you deny it you bought them for the reason they were 'in with the crowd' not before other people;)

I think they're horrible. They just look like canvas shoes I used to wear when I did P.E in infants, but more boot like.

I think they are "hot" but I would never buy them because everyone has them and I'm very orginal and unique that way.

Some are incredibly ugly but I've always thought the plain black type ones (Like Will Smith wore in IRobot:P) are very nice! :D They're kinda expensive though.

I also don't see why people hate converse for being popular.
They are shoes.
Its no worse then wearing any other shoe.
But if you think they are ugly then thats acctually a reason.

I <3 converse, but like NO ONE at our school wears them. I don't have any, but I have some conversey style without the boot. Fake though.

They are the worst looking shoes even , they are basicly plimsoles + boots = converse , they are U-G-L-Y.

I hate them. I used to like them, but townies have over-ruled them now. They used to be really cool if you had them but now, everyone has them. Thus, I <3 Vans instead.

Jane
31-07-2006, 10:23 PM
What the hell? 'I liked them before everyone started wearing them'
If you like them wear them. If you don't..don't! It doesn't matter what everyone else is wearing. Jeez. Anyway, I think they look alright, but they are REALLY uncomfortable.

Yeah, I like the first ones; I even have a pair, I just don't like the boot ones.

And as for the people saying you like them but they're too mainstream so you won't buy them, they're a SHOE. If I like a shoe, I buy it. Yeah, other people may have them, but most of the time thats how you see the shoe. It's advertising, if you see someone in the street wearing the shoe, you might want it yourself yet you've never seen it before. I bet if alot of people didn't wear converse in the first place, most of you wouldn't have known they even existed.

And yeah, some people do find them pretty uncomfortable. I have a narrow foot, so they fit my feet perfectly. They may squish other peoples feet, but not everyones feet are the same length/width.

Ok, that's just sad, why waste £150 on a pair of trainers that'll just get ripped/scuffed/whatever in like 6-7 months? [Unless you don't wear them, then it's still a waste of money] Lmao, trying to be cool, 'Oh look at me, I spent £150 on a pair of trainers, that makes me hard and a gangster'. I laugh at your stupidness

What do you mean by that? So because an artist in Hip Hop wears a certain brand of trainer/shoe your not going to wear them? Alot of skating brands are in the Hip Hop scene aswell.

Dont be mean to Ryan.

I like converse tbh. But i dont wear them because everyone else does.
I wear them cos i want to be, and that it suits me.

I mean i dont label myself as anything. I'll just be me.

I can dress girly, and look nice.
I can dress normal and look coolio. Its a wee bit funny.

I mean no1 who i've known from year 6 to no has worn or liked converse.
I mean like friends. I know plenty of people who like converse.

If you think people that wear converse are scene and follow the trends. Then think about the people dont do that.

I like vans, and dolly shoes :D And Cambus ones.
Plus whoever posted the pic of the boots for converse. I like the ones without them stupid flaps, they're so nice and comfy..

But the flaps just look BAD!

samsaBEAR
01-08-2006, 06:51 PM
Yeah, I assume they made them with the flaps to entice Chav-ettes or something. I think they look plain tacky

If your assuming that Converse are for indie/emo or whatever your trying to follow, there not "/ Converse were worn by alot of people in Hip Hop.

I doubt most people wouldn't have worn them if they didn't see there favorite bands/artists wear them in the first place.

01-08-2006, 07:36 PM
I hate when people assume that everyone who wears converse is doing it just to fit in or follow a trend. I have 3 pairs and I wear them 'cause I like them not 'cause I've seen loads of other people wear them... Where I live there's hardly anyone who wears them anyway. I likethem cause they're comfy and there's so many different colours and styles.

I'm not trying to follow anything, I'm only stating my opinion. I wanted a pair because I liked the style, not because I wanted to fit in with anybody else

I agree, plus the black/navy blue ones are the ones people always get [with white soles] have you noticed that? I got my Jade Green converse last Christmas, and I've only seen one person with the same colour
