The brand of hipsters and free thinkers for years hit financial problems in the 90's and was bought out by Nike. Production was moved overseas and the price jumped from $20 to $35 a pair.

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 tool used to make people listen to how horrible your sad excuse of a life is, sometimes used as a torture device for terrorists.
Cop: "He's not confessing, what should we do?"
Other Cop: "Go into the room and start a conversation about your life."
*Cop goes into room and starts talking*
Terrorist: "Please! I'm begging you! Please just shut up! I'll tell you anything!"

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!
