A kind of shoe. And a verb, meaning to have conversation.
Person 1: Look at my new converse shoes expressing my individuality and rebelliousness! All my cool nonconformist friends have them becasue we're UNIQUE, unlike you sheep...

Person 2: Nice looking shoes. I might grab a pair myself.

Person 1: O_<... ONLY NONCONFORMISTS CAN WEAR THESE SHOES! DIE YOU TRENDY BASTARD! *stabs 2 to death*.

A brand of sneaker made out of rubber and canvas materials. Come in a large variety of designs and colors to choose from. They've set a trend for the younger crowds today. Mainly girls. They're also quite popular in other countries in the world such as asia. Many people love to wear the crap out of their converses for years and years until the soles are completely bald and the materials are coming apart. They also customize their sneakers by writing on them with markers and adding thicker laces.
I just bought a new pair of converses today. I cant wait to get them all dirty, smelly and beat up like my last pair.

A type of shoe. They were back around the 1950's. They were the first basketball shoe made. Now they are mostly worn by "rock" figures or others similar to them.
Yesterday, I bought a pair of black converse!

Popular shoes that were made mainly for basketball your dad probably owned some. Now in the 2000s “different” people wear them emos, rebels, rockers, drug addicts. People mostly buy them because they want to fit in…truth is ANYONE CAN WEAR THEM! Preps, jocks, emos, rebles, rockers, drug addicts, nerds, geeks, skaters, even...gangsters.
Person 1: Look I got new converse! Now I can be emo!
Person 2: Idiot, anyone can wear them. Get a life if you wear them just to fit in!

Shoes that have become very fashionable that come in a variety of colours and some patterns. My mum says that she wore them in Ireland in the 60's and 70's because they were the cheapest trainers and the most widely available. Obviously they have become much more fashionable for teenagers and much more expensive.
