Converse

Converse, also known as "Chucks", are massively overpriced canvas "Shoes" that are more like socks with rubber soles. They are known to fall apart after only two months of regular use, and are only popular due to their "cute" look and multitude of colors and patterns, an effort to, it seems, imitate the vastly superior Vans. Not only are they fragile, they are also uncomfortable, and can range from passably nice-looking, to ugly as all hell. Despite this, they have a massive following, probably due to the brand's ownership by Nike. This still doesn't negate the fact that they are overpriced and overhyped, cheaply made canvas shoes. People who wear Converse tend to be a whole multitude of "groups", but are most commonly seen on the edgy kids, the "artistic" kids, and the punk kids who desperately wish they were born in the 1970's. Converse are also associated with the offbeat teen film genre, very popular with either adults stuck in their childhood, or basics/posers. In short, Converse are overrated shoes that really should have stayed in the 20th century. One is much better off buying Vans, SeaVees, Adidas, or Huf shoes, as they are in the same $40-$70 price range, and are far more comfortable, durable, and better looking.

-This was written by a teen, so this is not a case of grumpy old man syndrome, and he is quite happy with his Vans and SeaVees
Cuck (who desperately wishes they were born in the 70s, it must have been SO much better back then)- "I just got my new Converse, they're SOOO cute XD"

Me (a sane and rational human being)-"you realize you could have spent those $55 dollars on a pair of shoes that don't disintegrate in the rain, and are ACTUALLY comfortable?"

Cuck- (Goes on rant about retroness and aesthetic, and feels)

Me- (Smiles and shakes my head)
