Special Chucks to celebrate my graduation! MU30, Part 1
Current events and exhaustion kept this mini-gallery from being posted along with its companion piece reminiscing about how it was merely 30 years ago I graduated from university. I stupidly missed the one-day Black Friday offer on the site so … Continue reading

Must be serious if I got Jennifer Converse shoes!
Scored these for Jennifer at the Journey’s in San Antonio. Since they have unicorns and other brightly colored creatures, there was no way she could refuse me. Besides, it was only fair as I have to wear cowboy boots from … Continue reading

New Chucks for May 2020, part 11
My last pair from the Converse sale. You can’t go wrong with hot-rod flames! I have two different black pairs and it’s about time I got these in white.

New Chucks for May 2020, part 10
This design of Chucks could have two different names: Peppermint or Candystripe. If you have an opinion on what I should defer to, let me know.

This design could be two different possible names: Holstein (like the cow) or Dalmatian (like the dog). I believe this is the last of the animal prints I got in the sale fro Converse. Given how it’s black and white … Continue reading

Here’s my other pair covered in sequins! Pink and black. I think Cher, Lady Bunny and RuPaul would love wearing these.

This is the second pair called Animal Prints. Which animal this should be, I’m not sure. I want to go with a giraffe but I think their pattern is blockier. It could be some type of big feline, again, no … Continue reading

I think I have a pair in this shade of green but I wanted these for the cool pockets on the outside. They may come in handy if I’m at a show or being a tourist, hide some emergency money … Continue reading

The Star Wars shoes were a bust
I still remain hopeful that Converse and Disney will come together on official Star Wars Chucks since Frozen II appeared to be a success. For the interim, I tried out these knockoffs I found on the Internet. They turned out to be … Continue reading

How long I have waited for a pair covered in sequins! This is pair numero uno which were in my size. Converse calls it snake skin. Based upon the color scheme, these are also appropriate for celebrating Christmas.

Chinese New Year has been a pair I’ve been trying to score for years. I’m guessing the Pandemic killed the demand so I could swoop in to get these. Not sure how this represents the Year of the Rat but … Continue reading

Nothing but the Converse “All * Star” logo all over the place. Hard to believe these were on clearance.
New Chucks for May 2020, part 2
This pair falls under a design group Converse chose to call Animal Prints. As you can see, the shoes are supposed to resemble fish scales but it’s just printed into the canvas. Pretty cool in my opinion.

Damned Converse and their 20% Off Sale in April. They knew May was going to be a three-paycheck month. On the upside, the 20% was in addition to shoes already marked on sale or clearance. I ended up making my … Continue reading
