There's been hundreds of epic battles throughout history. The English Civil war of 1642-1651. The American, English war of 1812-1814. The American Civil war of the 1860's. But no of these can compare to the modern day fight over fashion. Van vs. Converse. I'm sure everyone can assume what side I'm on, but this is a complex relationship. As I've noted before, I own 12 magnificent pairs of Converse. Varying in style, colors and amazingness (yep that's a word in my blog). But within my ridiculous collection of shoes, there firmly stands two pairs of Vans aswell. Like a constant stare down, at one end of my closet the slightly outnumbered Vans face the Converse. Like the Romans and the Hebrews. So why so complex? Though I only have two pairs of Vans, I must say they get a suffcient amount of use. Black suede hightops with orange and yellow girls on swings, pretty unique. At the end of the day, the Converse will win, but the Vans do have a fighting chance at being the next big thing, well they can give it the old college try.
