Arrived earlier in the day. Conditioned and Scotchguarded for the remainder of winter. My first pair of brown shoes too! My “adult sneakers” are gonna take me places and clutch many transmissions.

These are the One Stars, correct? They look good. I thought about ordering some but I can’t break away from the classic All-Stars as seen in my post prior to yours.

They’re the only shoes under the “Pro-Leather” section on their website, but I think they’re One Stars. I thought about ordering leather classics, but because of my flat feet they are a pain to get in an out of when I’m lazy or tired. I didn’t wanna give up high or mid tops, but I wanted something easier to slip into and last year-round, and canvas wasn’t gonna work. So these are the counter-climate type. And of course I had to customize them!

Here’re my other Converse:

The one on the left is my cousin’s vintage pair back when they were still “Made in the USA”. They are falling apart and can’t be worn comfortably. Making these new ones brown was a tribute to the vintage pair.

Finding all of my old pairs in order to take a picture would take me a while to do. I’d love to find an old made in America pair though.

My dad has the pair he used to wear when he was a kid in the 50s somewhere in his junky closet. I just gotta remember to ask him to pull them out, along with his 911's window sticker. I gotta ask him to do a lot of things for history and nostalgia’s sake.

Also not pictured is the pair of gray suede Converse boots I bought a size too big last year because I didn’t realize the sneaker and classic sizes run different than the boot sizes.

Ohhhh so your shoes cover your feet. Big whoop. DaftRyosuke’s pair can project movies and came with a free copy of Blade Runner 2049. What can YOURS do, huh?
