Are Converse Going Out Of Style?

love song · 07-05-2006, 12:04 AM

It seems today, there are not so many converse being worn on the streets as there was about, say, a year ago.

I did a tally on how many people I saw wearing converse about a year ago (yes, i do need a life.

) and I came up with 3 out of 5 people wear or own a pair of converse. But today, it seems that they aren't as popular.

Mostly raving the streets are flats these days. And don't get me wrong, flats are very cute.
So, here is what I am asking you to do.
What is your opinion on these shoes?
Is Chuck Taylor doomed or what?

Actually, I don't really. I'm not too fond of E!
I'm not really a fashionista. But I am aware of things.

Converse are teh suxxor tbh, no ankle support at all, Give me A nice old pair of vans with the laces tied really well so I never hae to tie 'em again tbh.

Who cares?
How does popularity of a [world reknown] shoe matter?
Not everyone has to like the same thing.
'Trends' come and go.
WEAR SHOES YOU LIKE YOU ASSHOLE.

The reason they're so popular, is because you can get them all over the world, and they have all different kinds and styles.

And your 'survey/observation' doesn't seem to reliable. So, that generic "They're not as popular as last year" is crap.

i cant stand converse sorry, but what with this rock chic fashion trend thing, that i think HOPEFULLY is starting to go away, you all of these stupid wannabe idiot girls running around going 'oh my god I like have converse now so I am TOTALLY a rock chic, especially with my stripey top/socks/tights/trousers/wrist cuffs blah blah blah.' They're just a stamp of pure wannabes round here now, although you can still tell the people who have been wearing them since like they were born or summin
