for the ultimate converse fan??

Just wondering...do we like Kickers as much as these? I find I look weirdly clownish in cons but, well, kickers being more clowny seem to suit me better...conversely (geddit? )

so I have ordered some...

Oh alright then

but I'm sure nobody will talk to me on it

Btw what were those other boot things we used to wear - skateboard ones - white -

I can't remember. I got some hoping to impress the boys when we were about 15. I never wore them because I looked completely stupid in them.

Public enemy and all that. Anyone remember?

Two pairs of boots - one all black, one charcoal/black. I think the laces are crossed (sorry, can't be bothered to get up and look )

I'm a disreputable 38.

My other boots are 8-hole DM's (black, although I'm jonesing for some coloured ones)

spicemonster · 20/08/2009 22:26

I have red hi tops and black low tops. I am 44

nappyznozoneisalazyarse · 21/08/2009 14:28

I like kickers as a boot - find they look good as long as i stray away from red as then i look like a tweenie - what i dont like is they are so hard - not cushioned at all.

Cymbeline · 21/08/2009 14:54

I had some lovely vintage kickers shoes...before they started making white soles, these were like a yellowy rubber, with a dark red shoe...wore them a lot with summer dress etc and they fell to bits in the end

Cymbeline · 21/08/2009 14:55

Oh gosh and yes you need to change the laces to something dark. White laces very tweenie!

Oliveoil · 21/08/2009 14:59

shoes

have had too many to mention but currently have

black, white (with grey piping, ltd), white with green piping (ltd), white on white (ltd), and a rather fabulous pair with silver sequins all over them (ltd edition natch) which have small children squirming over them
