Somara gave me the green light to buy these limited edition Chucks from Converse.com as a birthday present to myself. I should’ve acted faster since my size (US 11 Men) were already gone when I bought them; I can handle a little bigger (these are US 11.5 Men). I suspect a couple things: they didn’t make many in “large” sizes and/or there were other men like me who wanted them. Why not women? I don’t know many women who wear a US 13 other than fictional character Peggy Hill; she’s really Women’s 16.
The special box the shoes came in
Converse pulled out all the stops on these, much as they did with Andy Warhol, The Simpsons and every DC Comics pair. I’m on the fence about saving the box or donating to a little kid.
Here’s a little barrette for the laces at the top
The tongue has the Hello Kitty logo
