Converse

These are fucking rad.  Now I’m thinking I need the Chucks…

….aaaaand I’ll take this opportunity to post a couple more pics of my converse. Thanks @Matt I’m genuinely surprised I don’t get robbed for them, or tackled by crowds of women, every time I wear them. Full leather interior and a supple upper.

Btw, those green ones are bomb. They remind me of Jack Purcells

[Matt]

@jordanscollected that’s exactly what they are.  They’re the new Todd Snyder collab from his Rebel Prep (barf) collection with Converse.  There’s a Chuck 70 pair that are pretty cool too.  Both are made with Millerain waxed canvas.

Those JVs are fabulous.  You got me poking around for some now.

Stoked that I found these in my size (I think) on eBay for $75. They’re from a collection Nike and Converse put out recently based on an old NBA championship ad campaign that featured fake basketball teams from the 70s. One of the teams was the Roswell Rayguns so as a New Mexico transplant I had to track them down.

The Chuck 70s are cool too so it’s only a matter of time…

Those are sweet!  I've never tried Converse leather basketball shoes, I dig the style though.

[Matt]

Me neither.  Everything I’ve read says they’re TTS so I hope a half up from my Chucks will work.  If not they’re NIB so I’m sure someone here can help me out.

Those are sweet Matt.

They look like a Converse and Nike Blazer fusion

[Matt]

Agreed. There’s a Blazer version of the Rayguns as well.  Nikes fit me weird so I didn’t think using them for a size comparison would work.  It’s the only shoe I size up in.

[Matt]

Saw these on eBay and couldn’t resist…

[Matt]

These are great.  Sizing is perfect.

[jordanscollected]

Those socks match too perfect @Matt! you need to highwater your ass out in public asap and start fielding compliments.

the double down

[Paul9221]

How do those breathe?  I have a few pair of the Nike mid blazer 77, which have a similar look, and they do NOT breathe well.

[Matt]

That seems to be the case now.  Just got them yesterday.  Great eBay deal.

Such a great comment LOL!

[Matt]

These might be my favorites…

[Matt]

@sabergirl I need these, right?  They have sheep!!!

[sabergirl]

I like ‘em! Though I’m resistant to the idea of logos, and I’m pretty sure that’s just woolrich branding.

And obviously you need more pairs of chucks. You’re not up to a different pair for every day of the year yet, right?!
