The return of the Converse sneaker

March 9th, 2007

I have recently started wearing Converse sneakers again. I was inspired by what I saw on the streets of Hong Kong a few months ago and had to get in on their stylish action. The All Star Converse sneaker has become an adaptable, timeless, and “of the moment” casual footwear option. Once I’d popped in my insoles, there was no looking back. They are versatile, comfortable, practical and stylish. If you love fashion sneakers like I do, Converse All Stars are the next must-have pair on your list. Funky, trendy, eclectic or classic, they’ll work in your wardrobe like a dream. At $40 for a basic pair you can’t go wrong.

Converse All Star sneakers are available at most department stores and on-line footwear stores (like Zappos.com). Be sure to look at the multitude of options (and prices) before you purchase the pair that’s perfect for you.

I bought a pair, too! But I’m always at a loss on what to wear them with. It’s easy when I throw them on to take a walk around the park, but when else?

I LOVE the last pair, the “coral floral”! If I were looking for another pair, or if I didn’t wear exclusively Chacos in the summer, I would get those.

Even so, they’re tempting!

Perfect with jeans/casual pants, a T and cropped jacket, or layered knits (like the Esprit look).

A good pair of Converse goes well with almost everything. (well, not a formal dress of course) It’s perfect with jeans, every type of jeans, and you can throw a trench coat on top, it’s very cute and casual. Also good for the spring weather too! Add a designer bag to bring out the whole outfit if you want.

I absolutely love Converse, I wear them and will probably wear them forever.

But I have to say you seem a little out of the loop here. Converse have been “back” for years. Where have you been? I mean they have been back so long Target has knock-offs…seriously this is old, old news.

I like converse. I bought a pair of the slip-on (no laces) Chuck Taylors in brown from Nordstroms. I am very happy with this updated version.

The converse sneaker has been popular for the younger generation for a while, but not nearly as stylish again for us older folk (35 and beyond) until recently. It’s difficult to wear something again when you wore at it’s height of fashion 25 years ago. Hope that clears things up for you Donna.
