MockneyReject yeah I read it, I didn’t realise it was so important to you though, so well done for —Googling— being so knowledgable, You WIN.
It doesn’t change the fact that Converse, and all the styles you linked to, are frumpy as hell and simply not fashionable, let alone edgy. At the moment.
Because, let’s face it, threads like these might be asking for style recommendations but the simple fact is, the brand is just as important. So, yes Golden Goose might be similar, they might be dirty looking, they might be expensive, but it’s the right brand at the moment (actually less and less so if you’re reallly following trends but....) just like Gola as previously mentioned, was passé, is now having a moment, and Gazelles have replaced Stan Smiths as the current Adidas favourite street shoe.
There is no doubt that at some point Converse, Superga, currently derided as mumsy, will be the must wear shoe at fashion week and on street stylists.
Because fashion is all about the emporers new clothes and we all fall for it.
Dad trainers. That is all.
