Back in 2016/17 they were apparently going out of business and all their shoes were 25 bucks each online for months. I stocked up on like 5 pairs and skated every single one of them to sueded dust.
Best shoes I’ve ever owned I miss them so very often.

been my daily since they came out back in like 2010? even if u dont skate theyre good for walking/working cause the insoles and theyre a bit sturdier cause theyre meant to get busted up
if u dont skate em they last a few years and theyre pretty easy to find second-hand on depop or wherever

i think i got them when i started high school or my second year of highschool
wore them the whole four/five years i had them and in the end i had the sole ripped off
it really went through a lot !!
the saddest part of them dying was when i couldn't jump into puddles to splash my friends since my socks would likely get wet but yeah it was a fun ride with those shoes

kind of a controversial statement shoe but I wore these converse nearly every day—partly to spice up my otherwise plain outfits, but mostly to give me a nice daily height boost. even though they’re huge, they’re very light and comfortable, and now they’re so closely associated with me that people will tell me whenever they see a similar pair in the wild.
unfortunately, I didn’t take care of them very well and had to lay them to rest recently :( the first photo is from when they were relatively new, the second photo is from a few months ago when the toe cap started hanging off (easy superglue fix but the beginning of the end), and the final photo is from a week ago, after the heel somehow came off on my walk to work without me noticing.
they will be missed but I think they’ve had their time 💔

Been off this app lately cuz ive been busy opening an art gallery in my hometown (San Diego) called Deixis Gallery! Been such a wonderful experience so far. It’s so beautiful to see how community comes together to help with every step along the way. Friends came by and helped paint, do construction, a friend of mine built us some benches from scratch, and a bunch of amazing artists participated in the inaugural exhibition. So hyped, truly recommend. And shout out to allstnyc for the encouragement back when I first posted an ask about opening a gallery! 🤞🏿🤞🏿🤞🏿also if you find yourself in San Diego, make sure to stop by! @deixisgallery
