What colour Converse have you all got?

I want to get a pair of Converse but don't know what colour. Years ago I had a red colour which I wore to death, I don't know if I should get another red pair or a different colour. I'm quite boring classical colours wise and was thinking of black or navy.

What colour have you got? What do you wear them with?
TIA

There :o apparently they're purple... Might be my eyes

Wow, thanks for all of the lovely ideas and suggestions. Have to read through the thread properly but definitely a lot of ideas.

I have also seen a lot of Converse copies about which are obviously a lot cheaper, does anyone have a pair. Are they OK or is it worth investing in the real thing?

The real thing last much longer, but the high street copies are ok :)

LulaPalooza · 08/08/2012 17:24

I have an ordinary black pair, and a lilac pair with a slightly darker purple tongue bit which folds down over da laces and looks well street, man... for a 40 year old, anyway

GnocchiNineDoors · 08/08/2012 17:26

I have these navy ones

TerraNotSoFirma · 08/08/2012 17:27

I have brown leather with Velcro straps and a pair of wonder woman ones. They are the comfiest things ever.

FoofHundredMetreFreestyle · 08/08/2012 17:33

I have red, purple and blue but my favourites are a beautiful Apricot colour.

DS has some fab turquoise ones.

BikeRaceRunningRaceNoSkiing · 08/08/2012 17:55

Red, white canvas low tops
Brown leather PF Flyers lows too
20+ yo turquoise high tops with fabric pen dots added by my teen self (I am now 41).

RachelWalsh · 08/08/2012 18:01

I live in converse. Or dms.

landofsoapandglory · 08/08/2012 18:02

I have grey and white spotty ones!

lentilweavinghippy · 08/08/2012 18:19

Thanks ghostship. They look pretty darn pink to me too! Think I prefer the grey ones with the flowery lining though.

WonaLotteofMedals · 08/08/2012 18:25

Navy and black low tops but now want silver after reading this!

StellaAndFries · 08/08/2012 18:51

I have white hi tops, bright green hi tops, red low's and black and cream tartan double tongue lows. I wear cons nearly every day :)

DisappointedHorse · 08/08/2012 18:59

I have a khaki pair of low tops.

To whoever mentioned them being comfy though, they're not! I spent months breaking the mofos in and they still give me blisters faster than anything else.

MyBestfriendsWedding · 08/08/2012 19:20

Hi tops, white and turquoise
Low tops, navy, white, red

I wash them when they start to get grubby.

Love them! Wear them all the time.

Lizzylou · 08/08/2012 19:22

Have two pairs of low tops, a grey and a red pair.
They are ok. I think I may prefer vans now though.

pettyprudence · 08/08/2012 21:12

I have red high tops but after 9 years they are looking a bit knackered and silver leather low tops which I have had for 6 years and are still going strong.

I have tried high street versions and they never last more than a few months to a year where as mine, dh, dsis, dbro and dm have all had our current cons for yeeeeeaaaaaarrrrrrrrssssss

TequilaMockinBird · 08/08/2012 21:14

Blisters? Really? Mine are the most comfortable shoes I've ever had! I have to admit though, I got men's ones because they were a bit wider, they look exactly the same as DD's women's ones though.

So that may be the answer Wink

JockSprockPooPongMcPlop · 08/08/2012 21:17

I got married in white converse that my bridesmaid customised for me.

Haberdashery · 08/08/2012 21:20

That is very cool, Jock. I like it.

I don't get it about the blisters at all. I can only think yours are the wrong size? Mine have never so much as rubbed a bit.

Vicky08 · 08/08/2012 22:26

I like the sound of silver converse,

What do you think of These ?

Black leather and white and red. Quite tempted by some brown leather lows as well, you can never have too many pairs;)

ujjayi · 09/08/2012 07:59

I have navy but I quite like the idea of silver leather ones for autumn.

I found a pair of khaki suede Superga high tops in T K Maxx yesterday. I really liked them and will pop back today to see if they are still there.
