      Sadly the Jack Purcells didn’t work out. Converse’s size cart says they should be TTS but that wasn’t the case.  They’re more in line with Chucks. Fortunately they do free returns. Unfortunately they don’t have any in my size.

      So I got these instead.  I think they’re much better…

          That’s fucking rad @mclaincausey  I’m pretty stoked on the shoes.  They’re 70’s and will be my first pair.  I haven’t worn Chucks since high school.

          There’s another collab pair that just dropped with Come Tees that I really want too.  I’ll keep an eye on the sales.  Got the JMBs for cheap from End.

              The Basquiats are here and they are awesome.  Since I haven’t worn Chucka in forever I guessed on the sizing and I’m not sure I got it right.  I went with 9.5 which is .5 down from my normal Vans, PF Flyers, New Balance sizing.  9.5 is my normal Red Wing, Wesco size.  10.5 is my Nike size  How do you guys size?

              Do they look like clown shoes?

                You went with a similar plan I’ve always used, however, I’ve actually been buying my chucks bigger lately as I’ve been getting some toe bite.

                I’m a Wesco 10, Vans 10, and recently a chuck 70s 10.

                  I know a lot of folks think of them as clown shoes but dang, they're really tough, my feet breathe well in them, they come in so many colors, they're relatively inexpensive, and they're pretty dang comfortable!

                  I think those look great, Matt!

                  I just ordered the Rick Owens x Converse DRKSTARs from SE and am really pumped for them to arrive!

                    Thanks guys.  I wore them to a show last night and I’m pretty happy I think 9.5 is right.

                    Which is good because these are on their way to me…

                    …and I’m sweatin these pretty hard as well…

                                ….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

                                  @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.

                                        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.

                                          They look like a Converse and Nike Blazer fusion

                                            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.
