Guilty of Posing!

So if you've read any of my other posts, I usually am a huge defender of Converse. But there's something that really bothers me. The brand of Converse has become a band of posers and I am not pleased. Converse has an image to uphold, they began as symbol of individuality, these days almost everyone has a pair. This is because there is exactly 19 different types of the original canvas sneakers. High tops is where it began, now you can buy Air Jordan esque basketball Converse.

You can buy literally the exact same style as Vans, yet with the famous Star and triangle logo. I imagine some stuffy C.E.O. with his tailor made suite, and tacky comb over, discussing to a group of ridiculously rich people around a original chess nut wood table, something about "Up sales revenue." and "Relate to the consumers." NO! this is not right. Converse cannot go down the path of conformity, they are one of the few items left that true individuals can use as an outlet. I know I won;t convert a multi- billion dollar corporation to stop selling some of their top sneakers, but for all of us Converse, keep the true value of the sneakers alive and stick with the classic and awesome styles.
