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.

a word to describe a woman who by nature is easy to converse with and who's top comes off with ease (like a convertible automobile).
That girl at the party last night was conversible.
or
"Man, I was chillin' with Amanda last night and DAMN she is conversible"

Converse is a brand of basketball shoes. They are canvas shoes with rubber soles. They were made famous by Charles H. Taylor, a basketball player, in 1918. Since then they have become popular with just about everybody at different times. In the '70s and '80s, they were deemed to be the offcial shoe of the National Basketball Association.
Since the '80s, the Converse company went out of business and was purchased by Nike. Nike proceeded to move production of Converse shoes to China in order to reduce production costs.
Today Converses are popular with an entirely new crowd - the 'alternative' or 'artsy' kids who will probably never touch a basketball in their life - in addition to still being popular with the 'jocks' and 'preps.' The artsy kids somehow reason that they deserve Converses more than the preps because Converse shoes have become a symbol of 'individuality' (which is a word that's meaning has become extremely jumbled), when in reality the jocks or preps were the ones who would actually be entitled to the shoes if the system worked that way. This is because of the fact that in 1918, a basketball player popularized these shoes.
In any case, Converse shoes have been around for almost 90 years and are still selling, even though they have hardly changed an inch. Some people claim to have territory over these shoes when, in actuality, they are just canvas and rubber that you stick your smelly feet into.

Stoner: Whoa, man... they're just shoes...
