Today at the offices of FNUR: Shoe debate

Jun 30, 2006 09:25

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...
