one stars from today

should have gotten a pair of the orange ones….

in case someone is looking for a new pair, check the sale section on the Converse sites (through Europe).
With the code EXTRA25 (valid till the 22th, I believe) you gonna get an extra 25% off and there is also a free shipping on all orders offer on...

....some more pairs inbound for me 

[Dion]

So many bargains! No surprise my size is already sold out :(.

The woven suede pairs are looking fine!

[rocket]

hah, saw this coming, the missmatch stars will look cool with my navy IH chino tux… wait and you will see 

the woven are actual pretty nice in person...

[Dion]

Apparently the red/orange suede likes to bleed. Any ideas how to make it stop?

Maybe just a protective spray would work. Same stuff keeps then water/stain resistant aswell

[rocket]

would be my guess as well…

Thanks, gents!

Thinking of treating them with Sno Seal. Is it any good?

Got me some 1970s reiusse hightops. They are a lot better made than my last pair of regular chucks that I wore at least 5 years ago. Will be interesting to see how they hold up over time, usually chucks were shredded super fast.

Who's brave enough for these?

For anyone interested those are the Converse 151225C (Chateau Rose).

[Giles]

Yep, I have a pair in pink once….
