They are the bomb!
Last year when our company changed uniform shirts to red, I knew exactly what shoes I had to get to go with them. Converse Allstars in red, but I couldn’t find them right away. I finally found them on my company’s website and they are the bomb! Everyone thinks they are funky! I love my Allstars Oxfords.

A brand of shoe that I relate to above and beyond
Converse All Star sneakers first grabbed my attention when I was 16 and discovered The Ramones. From thereon, Converse seemed to me to reflect an anarchism and streetwise cool. To this day, Converse are still reflected in pop culture that I relate to - worn by Clive Owen's character in the "Sin City" movie adaptation, for example. The people and products associated with Converse reflect many of my interests and attitude towards life generally: do it with attitude, but do it in comfort! It's a brand of shoe that I relate to above and beyond the standard concepts of consumerisation. It's high street cred without the fuss.

Cheap, useful, cool and a true classic
You can wear Chuck Taylors with anything. The shoes are a staple for all types of people - punk rockers to preppies to rap stars. They are cheap, useful, cool and a true classic.

The absolute staple of my wardrobe
The absolute staple of my wardrobe. They come in myriad of colours, can be fun and funky or cool and understated. They look great when you first buy them and even better when you've worn them in and bashed them up. The Jack Purcells are great but for classic style: Boys, girls, sportsters and rock stars - The Converse All Star is the footwear of choice.

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.
