hmmm.. depends on the person, and their build (cos they arent always the most flattering shoes, if that makes sense)

i've seen cute little asian girls wear them with anything and everything.. and they always look funky.

now now, just because she knows nothing about contemporary fashion doesn't mean we have to send her back to the Stone Age, it is just preferable to.

:( ... chuck taylors make me sad...

The day i bought my first pair of chucks was the happiest day of my life. The were interesting, not many people had them, and they were oh-so-comfy

Then all of a sudden try-hard-rock-wannabe's started wearing them... but well at least mine weren’t black, so i still looked different

Then bloody avril laigne came along... all of a sudden teeny boppers are wearing my beloved chucks in a bid to look cool, and all of a sudden i couldnt wear mine without getting compliments from my 10 yr old ashlee simpson loving neighbour...
and for some reason that just annoyed the shit out of me.

Then Nike took over the company... and Nike use slave labor.... so i cant buy chucks anymore without feeling guilty

So no more buying chucks for me... i must just wear my old battered pairs and reminisce about the good old days when they were cool in their own original way.

dude... everyone has been wearing chucks since they first came out decades ago. they've ALWAYS been popular, and NEVER original. the fact general pants have been stocking them for as long as i can remember indicates theyve never been unique, even pre-avril.

as for the nike slave labour thing.. i recommend going to thailand and buying the hordes of old american vintage styles they have lying around in bangkok markets

I've got black ones with multicoloured laces. They are the most awesome thing to wear with stockings and a skirt.

I don't like the pink ones. I don't know why.
But speaking of Nike, i think those tweed sport shoes are ugly.

i dont know why but for girls i think youve gotta have skinny legs to be able to pull them off with a mini or the like. It also depends on what ur wearing.. obviously

i really like them but i don't wanna get any coz like every second person at my school has them. see, when i first liked them i didn't have the money to buy a pair. then suddenly heaps of ppl started wearing them and it turned me off them. *sigh*
