Daddy's old basketball shoes. Now bought by teenaged girls wanting to be "retro". Often worn with clothes bought from American Eagle.
Old Guy: I used to wear converse when I played b-ball with the boys...
Teenaged Girl: Whatever. I'm going to the mall to buy new shoes.

1. A place or thing that promotes conversation.

2. When you don't have another word to describe something.
See that paint color? It's very conversational.

See his Afro? It's very conversational? I could talk about it all day.

Do you like the furniture placement? 'Yes, it's very conversational.'

How does that make you feel? 'I feel...very conversational.'

Can also be used sarcastically. Look at that turtle! It's very conversational.

the best kind of shoes ever. you can customize them to your hearts desire. they come in a range of colors and patterns. not to long ago they were strictly worn by rockers, grunge, emo, ect.... people, but now-a-days everyone wears them. other shoe companies got jealous and decided to make a cheep ugly rip off -_-. recently the price on the SKYROCKETED! i used to get a plain, good quality pair for $16 but now i got a little fancier pair for $70! HOLY SHIT MAN! yah wanna know why? FLIPPIN NIKE! they were jealous too so they bought 'em out. anyways converse came out in 1908 and were the first b-ball shoe. (made by chuck taylor)
2000: *me in shoe city* hey mommy can i get a pair of converse? they are the bestest. ($16)
2009: HOLY CRAP MOM! $70?!!!! WTH? what has the world come to? *cries*

A long time ago they were sold for about 2 cents.
and were bought by people that couldn't afford other shoes.
In which case most kids these days like to represent the "punk" side of it to show the actual roots.
In 2002 they were starting to come around, and just about everyone here in 2006 has them.
These shoes are also to be worn even if the soul falls out.
personally I find them cute and stylish.
Hey man nice kicks.
yeah man I love my converse.
