  • I'm in love already!

    I got my first proper pair today and I'm in love already! I already had some pink suede-y ones but not proper black ones! Until now.

  • My life, my style, my whole era

    Chuck Taylors are my life, my style, my whole era! The first pair I got were black and I was so happy to be a part of the whole trend. I've now got over 20 pairs. All different colours and styles. What can I say, I love them! Hola! They are so cool.

  • I can express so much about myself

    Converse is not just shoes, they are the American shoe. It's incredible to see how creative they've been with the Chuck T. I can express so much about myself according to which pair I'm wearing. Posh, eccentric, gothic, hippy, everything is possible. I just wish I had them all !

  • Sadly...

    I agree, Chuck T's WERE super cool, until they got bought up by Nike. Given Nike's terrible worker rights record, sadly, I'll never buy them again.

  • Part of my entire life

    The "Converse All Star" sneakers are part of my entire life. I`ve got my first pair of sneakers when I was ten years old, they were my mothers and she used to wear them in high school. The second pair was my fathers and he used to wear them when he was in the University. I was seventeen when I was wearing them. I bought my third pair on my first trip outside my country. With all of the three pairs I`ve got great experiences and when I look at them I see all of my life till now, the late nights on the playground, the girl that I loved and who knows...

  • Out to the street

    The "chuckers" are the perfect shoe. Cheap, smart and they are always true and unchanged. I wore them as a kid and wear the exact same as an adult. I have many pairs of them. I'll never buy any of these fancy space-walk tennis shoes they make now. I'm going out to the street not to a space mission thank your very much.

  • More than a shoe

    I love Chuck Taylors! I collect Chuck Taylors! I have a Chuck Taylor closet with all the colors, prints and styles I can find. This is way more than a shoe... It's an identity.

  • Happy and young

    I do adore these shoes! I never wore them as a kid but as an adult, they just add a fun element to my outfits. Love the black and white high tops. Makes me feel happy and young, funky!

  • They never change

    You can wear them on any occasion at any age. They can remind you of both 6th grade gym class and punk rock. Kids wore them with tuxedos to High School proms, now I can wear them with nice pants to work. Even though I grow up, they never change.

  • The shoe that fits in with any crowd

    Converse and Chuck Taylors (Chucks) go with everything, and are a classic all-around shoe. They can be worn clean & classy with khakis or hip, dirty & rock 'n' roll with jeans. In the summer... no socks, with shorts, or with a skirt. Sometimes they wear out and get holes in them - all the better. Lots of colors - pick your personality! They're basically the shoe that fits in with any crowd - which is why I love them. I never particularly identified myself with any group - preppy, nerdy, jocks, theater kids, whatever - these shoes don't care.
