Why converse is the best

The classic Chuck silhouette gets reimagined once again. This time in a Summer Daze Fade that reminds you of an old pair of jeans. This all-leather version is perfect for an escalated, rugged look. They do run big, so Zappos recommends getting them a half size smaller. An eye-catching quilted design will definitely add a nice flair to any outfit you wear this summer. They are easy to clean and will keep your foot protected and cozy.

Everyone seems to have their own sense of fashion at most events I attend. A major part of my style is Converse shoes, my official conference kicks.

Here are my top 50 reasons why Converse is the best conference shoe of the year. Converse are comfortable! I can walk all over SxSW with a pair of Converse and never stop for a much needed foot break. Converse shoes are for everyone. They look great on my grandma, they look even better on me, and they look hotter on my little sister. Their styles transcends the age-limits that are readily identifiable in most shoes, like Nike or Adidas.

Like the Jeff Hamilton-designed original, the sneakers are rendered in black, blue and burgundy. The leather upper is adorned with eye-catching graphics too, including the Chicago skyline and a co-branded patch on the tongue.

The light colour palette, with bold blue around the eyelet and orange rubber branding, is a nod to summertime sports. Canvas uppers, star insignia and a sleek silhouette in black, white or beige come together in this iconic shoe. And while it may not be the trainer of choice for basketball players today, the high-tops remain a timeless style classic. Best Nike shoes you can buy right now.
