Is this the biggest collection of Converse ever?

Classic ASICS wrestling shoes: the Reflex IV. You can't beat black wrestling shoes with white detailing.

In Memoriam #1


Alas, these once pristineASICS Mexico 66's are now no more. I'll be getting a new pair soon though!

Mid-height Converse All Stars

As seen at www.schuh.co.uk


What do you think of these? Hmmm. I'm not liking. Why waste time with these when you can have proper hi-tops? And can I just say, British retailers, that the price of a pair of Chucks these days is ludicrous...

Today I am Mostly Wearing



For Mike :-)


The uneven piping around the toecap of the nearest shoe is a good example of the kind of wonderful flaws that you used to get with classic USA-made Chucks, and which gave each pair its own individuality. Not like the mass-produced clones of today :-(
