Erik and I have lots in common, but we do have our differences. One of our biggest differences is about my beloved Chuck Taylors. I love them. Erik hates them.
I currently have 2 pairs of Chucks - brown low-cuts, and a new pair of black high tops. These are my favorite shoes - comfortable, cool, versatile. Erik thinks I am too old to be wearing Chucks because they are something that only 12 year olds wear.
But you know who else wears/wore Chucks?
Kurt Cobain (who was wearing them when he died)
The Ramones
Pearl Jam
Green Day
THE FONZ
Dr. J (who had a version named after him)
John Belushi
James Hetfield
Chucks have been featured in movies such as:
Sin City
Back to the Future
Animal House
Bull Durham
Dodgeball
Friday
Happy Gilmore
Jackass: the Movie
Rocky
Hoosiers
and many more.
Comments are open, so give your opinion. Are Chucks stupid or cool? Because after writing this post, I think I just convinced myself to buy another pair...
