I’ll initiate with the least interesting pair I scored at the outlet store. This set I call Tweed. I can’t remember what the box said nor does it matter. The internal tag has some ramblings over the materials, never mind they’re manufactured in Vietnam, a nation I’m sure follows environmental and free-trade guidelines.
Last year, Converse had an arrangement with Dr. Seuss’s estate (or whoever owns the rights) for multiple designs based upon his characters. The Grinch finally appeared at my store but I had to go with a half size too large or be SOL. Since the centennial pair I have owned for the last several years haven’t damaged my feet permanently and they’re 11 1/2 too, I knew the gamble was worthwhile.
I do like the extra effort on the tongue. I should consider getting more eye-popping laces for the Grinch.
Hooray! Converse and DC heard my pleas to get the female superheroes on to a hightop! I was so disappointed when Wonder Woman, Catwoman, Supergirl and Batgirl were added to the line yet as lows. Recently Harlequin (or Harley Quinn) dominates a hightop with the Joker. Villains are alright. Heroes are way better! Maybe the powers behind these shoes capitulated after Aquaman. If you squint hard enough, you can see Wonder Woman’s invisible jet on the shoes too!
The interiors of the DC line are a joy to behold. Each superhero gets his/her respective logo on the tongue and inner lining.
