Why are Converse so popular? They're the ugliest sneakers you can possibly wear and they're not even comfortable.

Converse is like the Coca Cola of shoes, but that doesn't mean they're the worst shoes ever (pic related).

What? Which city do you live in? These are everywhere where I am - just visit literally any mall. Seen them in Nordstrom, Little Burgundy and Footlocker to name a few.

For those of you who think these are the GOAT chucks, you probably haven't tried them on IRL yet. They're a lot comfier than old chucks, but the canvas looks so rigid and plastic (especially on your feet). I'm sure they'd look good in a few palewave fits, but the synthetic appearance defeats the purpose of using a a natural color like parchment - you'd probably be better off with a different colorway in my opinion.

Sterile variants you can buy at cheap fast fashion stores look way better because they don't have the terrible logo on the side or heel. I don't wear them, or actual chucks either because they aren't comfortable. Good foam insole goes a long way to alleviate it though.

I got these Levis for my birthday but I returned it a week later because that's what all the hicks where because they can't be assed to buy real shoes.

These sorts of shoes are for fits where you want absolutely nobody to remark on them. People are almost blind to converse shoes from their ubiquity. Same thing applies to 501/511 jeans

Do people actually wear these, outside of running?

That's like strapping on a weightlifting belt for style.

They look good, it's a timeless design. But they're not comfortable at all.

Buy the Muji ones. They're ridiculously cheap and really comfortable.

Most of the people who buy them are the same type of people who believe they only need 3 shoes, one for formal, one for casual and one for "fun"

Guess which one is the fun one.
