I grew up never owning a pair of Converse Chuck Taylor and it's like never secretly smoked in your childhood. It's just not complete! I did pick up some cigaret butts on the floor and let myself get lost in the mysterious fume, in case you wonder. I've done some other pretty bad things too, but never bought a Converse. I guess street punk was never my thing and the thought of sweaty barefoot against rubber soles is just ~~!! Now I've done many things that I swore I would never do, including wearing sneakers barefoot, why not getting a pair of Converse? How about three? I laid my eyes on these three particular styles a while ago. Converse with Commes Des Garcons Play and Converse with Missoni are two most successfully collaborations since the Converse with John Varvatos. Sustaining the street basketball spirits of Converse, these two collaboration brilliantly blend in the style of each brand, one with the signature red hart logo and one with the zigzag fabric.
The Converse plus Missoni for Fall 2010 is extremely rare and only available at AlohaRag.com. I didn't get on-line quick enough to grab my size and the 7.5 that I got was a bit tight so I reluctantly sold it on eBay for a profit~~
I'm grateful that I'm still not too old to pull of street punk and now let's have some funky fun ~~
The Converse + Commes Des Garcons Chuck Taylor is available in these places:

Are you kidding me? I love the street punk/funky fun look.
ReplyDeleteI also have never braved buying a pair of "kicks" but ...
ReplyDeleteThose Missoni ones are convincingly credit card worthy. I might consider the black version as well.I have wide feet so I doubt any would fit me anyways.

i have a pair of converse + missoni dated a couple years ago, just never realized there is also a collaboration between commes des garcons and converse as well, gotta look into that. most importantly, everyone should be on high alert of how fitted his skinny jeans are, jesus, allow me to weep at the other side of the corner right there.....

Matthew: I'll join you at the corner... my disproportion legs are too short for my relatively longer upper body and worst of all: the somewhat bubbly butt ~~! That's why I rarely post entries about pants ... But anyway, you made me laugh out loud, again :)
