Mine are beige and khaki.
Eta, these ones

but i didn't pay £45 for mine think they were about £40 so £10 dearer than normal converse. And they look better than that in the flesh.
I love those!
now i have my red ones, some light blue ones in the same style as my red ones and a pair of army type folded over ones
When your trousers cover up the logo I don't see the point in paying £45 for a pair of trainers.
yup it annoys me too...
here are the ones i've got:
My oldest pair - My red ones
My turquoisy ones
Similar to mine except mine are more of a lighter brown than these.....
I've been wearing them since i was in primary school, and i still wear them now, but people always assume i just wear them cause they're trendy. and then in a year, when they're out of fashion but i'm still wearing them, people will say stuff like: they're SO last year.
i have low tops in black, red and green, black hi tops and vintage pink hi tops
i don't pay the retail price - either get mine off ebay or import them from canada, but i've tried all kinds of similar styles, and actual converse have been the only ones that last the distance. preferably the old style made in the US ones - they're sturdier, but the new ones aren't too bad. made by nike though :grump:
god we are too cool ;D
When you say you import thm from Canada, are there online stores that ship to the UK, or is this from ebay? I was just looking the other day at US sites, and they eithr don't ship internationally, or have an extortionate price to do so.
I have th bog green "ankle high" ones and a pair of brown suede(sp?) ones
but i want a pair of black ones next!
I love yellow things, it's such a happy colour :hyper:
A couple of years ago i tried, in vain, to buy a pair of black and pink ones from america, and i never did find a site that existed, and sold them that would ship them to the UK. It was tres annoying.

the prices are in canadian dollars, and for me it worked out about £25 including shipping, whereas the office in leeds charges £35.
ebay is usually a better deal though, especially if you buy used. i got my vintage pink ones for 9 dollars.
everything seems to get labelled vintage nowadays.
especially considering that the word vintage is not technically owt to do with clothes, so we could pretty much use it to describe anything.
omg nice name ;(
so what would you call vintage then?
30 year old shoes?
its got nothing to do with your name BTW, this is what I am called on other sites. have been for years!
I would say something from the 70's i guess. I just think the word vintage is used to frequently. They still sell pink cons. i would tend to use it for something you cant get anymore.
if we're going to be picky, you can't get the pink cons i have anymore. they're the style they stopped making in the 80s, with the narrower shape and twill tape tab back. you also can't buy the made in the US ones new anymore, as nike bought the company a few years ago and all new cons are made either in china or vietnam.
but it would be a bit silly to get that pedantic, considering i was just using the word to differentiate between the newish shoes i have, and the really old ones.
