Ok but don't forget Converse-wearer is like an entire genre of lesbian, they're hardly going out on a limb here
Why would you call me out like this
One of my favorite games to play when I go out is "Chucks or Vans."
It's exactly what it sounds like, I just see how many pairs of Chucks or Vans i can spot, Doc Martens could be on the list too.
Subaru branded shoe?
Converse is a subsidiary of Nike.
Nike is apparently considering donating to trumps ballroom https://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/lifestyle-buzz/nike-gets-major-backlash-for-survey-on-funding-trump-s-ballroom/ar-AA22JXGO
The co-founder of Nike and largest individual shareholder is billionaire Phil Knight, who also spent a few million trying to get republicans elected in Oregon https://www.oregonlive.com/politics/2025/11/nike-co-founder-phil-knight-makes-record-setting-donation-to-help-elect-republicans.html
Thank you. I know this might just be a news article, but considering how much advertising occurs through social media accounts these days, we can never really know. Either way, it's important to remember that no matter what publicity stunts a company pulls, that doesn't negate the evil shit they do.
I was going to make a comment about rainbow capitalism, but I really like these.
I mean, they're cool, but probably not $160 cool. My question would be: do they offer them year-round, or only during June?
That's Australian dollars mind you. And I think it's a limited run.
900 dollary doos?!
nah, it's 160 dollary doos, which makes it around 115 dollarinos
So about a 100€ if converted to real money.
I got ~138 of r€al mon€y, 125.69 (nice) of härd cürréncy, or 119 of pro'a money innit (they used to use farthings or sth before, I dunno...)
your mileage may vary
How many loonies is that?
(I love that I didn't even have to make up a word for that)
221 loonies, which makes it one loonie short of a Schnapszahl
Would be nice if their shoes lasted for more than 1-2 years :/
And also if they weren't a brand of the Nike corporation.
Tbh, that's better than a lot of clothing that's available right now. Quality has turned to shit across the board. I've got some clothes I bought last year that are already becoming thread-bare. Yet the clothes I wore as a teen managed to survive being in my regular rotation through my early 20s. If I had a pair of shoes that could last 2 years despite daily use, I'd be quite surprised.
Makes me wish I could actually wear their shoes.
mm, I tried some back in the day and they're about as substantial as a tshirt on my feet.
I remember trying them on back in the day and noping back into my combat boots
Not sure your issue, but high-quality insoles helped me.
Alas, it's my sasquatch feet. Even new balance and Rockport don't always fit well
I cant wear vans either. Used to wear cons all the time, but the only got comfy once my pinky toe pushed though and made a hole in em
For $115 i expect a quality product. Shouldn't have to replace the insole immediately but shit company is going to be shit company. This is 100% rainbow capitalism.
Huh, I'll definitely remember that when it's time to get new shoes. Maybe i should buy a couple pairs now, before they sell out.
Oh ok so I guess we fall for corporate propaganda now, or...?
Hell yeah, been wearing these shoes most of my life.
I wish the rainbow was vertical, pants are going to cover up half the rainbow.
so dont wear pants ;)
how about plain trans-friendly shoes that fit?
It's too bad converse shoe toeboxes are like elbow shaped and not toes shaped
