Inspired by @Sam pics, I grabbed a pair of the red suede 70's, but couldn't resist these which were on sale at 50% off..

@tmg Where from?

[tmg]

G, I bought them from Kickz, and they're the 70's orange Ox

[Sam]

Great colour @tmg

Are they low tops?

[tmg]

@Sam thanks, and yes, these are low tops

[Dion]

They're looking brilliant! I wish I wouldn't have slept on these.

How do the '70s run compared to the usual ones? Can I go for my usual size?

[hajduk]

Me i went for the same tagged size. Feels no difference.

When you're bored of your white\parchment converse looking dirty and scuffed… turn them blue!

[dylantbmayes]

What indigo dye are you using, @Sam? Where did you source it from?

[Sam]

It's natural indigo and i got it from a place in Guilford. @dylantbmayes

Nice project @Sam Looks Good

One of my vintage pairs still pretty fresh and ready to rock for spring/summer

[Sam]

Nice! ^^^ Great colour and made in the USA.

Thx Sir @Sam Yes have three pairs made in usa, got lucky a while ago all fresh in box deadstock back then. all around 25yrs old one pair is pretty worn already but still some life left for summer and experiments for repairing the sole.

I am not a huge fan of traditional chucks…but once in a while, they make a combo that is stellar. I got myself a pair I REALLY like.

They call it a "peach" duck. So real lightweight duck, SUPER soft, almost velvet feeling. These are DEFINITELY going to be getting the wax treatment though They will look SO much better!

If you don't want to experiment with indigo dyeing like @Sam, I can recommend the raw denim All Stars.

I was in a Converse outlet in Fitzroy earlier today, just down from where the Carryology Store will be opening, and these were about half price. I've been after a pair of Chucks for a while, and couldn't resist.

adding to the count of these burgundy 70s CT hi

After falling in love with my first pair of Converse, I still don't like a lot of the colors/materials they offer, I decided to get two more of the same fabric("peach" duck) on sale and couldn't be happier.

My current favs in the back and the two new ones to join the pack. The "cherry" is pretty much a plump, It couldn't be prettier and wasn't expecting a purple shoe. Finally have a purple shoe I can rock.

[Dion]

Nice laces, too!
