A brand of shoes that have been around for as long as anyone could remember. Recently they have become a trend for those who wish to promote fashion or those who consider themselves "rebellious." Little do these losers know, Converse shoes are owned by NIKE and made in sweatshops. Nothing says rebellion like child labor.

Once a basketball shoe that was affectionately adopted by the punk rock scene but is now becoming a worldwide prep phenomenon... but each to their own.

Shoes that were used to express individuality and difference...the coolest pair of shoes.... but now the style has been invaded by the preps!!!!

Converse has been around for a long time. It's a sneaker that used to be worn by people who actually have a unique sense of style, but now they are too...popular. They come in hightops in lowtops, but everyone seems to wear the lowtops, and the hightops are becoming harder to find now.
For three years I used to wear pink Converse hightops, and I was the only one who wore them in school, but as soon as I stopped wearing them, Converse actually became popular. So, now I don't really wear Converse as much.

Simple-but-effective shoes based on the design manufactured by Converse in around 1915 and promoted and worn by Basketball player Chuck Taylor.
They're now iconic shoes which can be worn in a casual and smart-casual settings; the classic converse is a high top shoe made of canvas with a rubber base and toe pad; along with many lace holes meaning they can be made unisex due to their flexibility. They also come in low-top with or without a converse logo(the logo on low-tops is different as the ankle-logo cannot fit on the shoe).
Despite many variations in colour and design; they are always identifiable by their simple canvas/rubber design. And they're awesome.

A proper obscure make of shoe that hardly no one wears now. Ha! Yeah right, their more common that Blackberrys and red hair.

Used to be a great brand of sneaker until converse closed its doors here in the USA six years ago and got bought out by nike. Now the converses today are made out of cheap china sweatshop material and have become a favor of those annoying emo and goth kids.
