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.

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.

Shoes that have become overly-trendy. Now from these shoes being cool many preps have started to wear them. I bought all black Converse thinking they were cool then I go to school and see every other prep wearing the same thing (but in a different color).
Me: I'm totally bummed that I bought these Converse...
Friend: Why, they look awesome?
Me: Well the preps think they look awesome too.
Both: *look over and see's the preps goggling over Oliva's new Converse
Friend: Yeah, I see it. Shit I got a pair too.
Me: Let's go get some Docs
Friend: Yeah, after school let' go

A type of extremely durable shoe. The design of them is very simple, the whole shoe is simple actually. In recent times, this shoe had been made popular by kids that wish to be different, then all the morons followed the cool people. And emos. Damn emos.

They're comfortable and I like the way they look. They are just a brand of shoe, if you don't like me wearing them and say I'm just following a trend than good for you, stfu, I probablly don't like everything your wearing.
