I'm surfing a site called igotconverse.com
Its like drugs I tell you!!
I can't stop reading it! So I shall share it with fellow Converse lovers! :D
It has pictures of celebrities wearing converse and since the blogger is from New York, he takes random pictures of NewYorkers in Converse!! Itll make you wanna buy more pairs of Chuckie T's and JP's!!
Christmas is coming and I'm thinking of getting another pair but am currently BROKE.
Mum is always furious when I buy new pairs of shoes.I just recently bought a new pair of JP's and she went all "Go open your own shop and sell all your shoes!!"
:'(
Oh well,I guess I'm content with my collection of sneakers so far.Most of them which are Converse of course :)
I used to have a favourite pair of shoes that I used almost everyday.My Fila tennis shoes.They were with me for almost 6 years until I finally had the guts to throw it away last year.Why?
Cobbler said : Mau saya baiki kasut ni lagi kah? Sik dapat lagi lah Ahmoi.Sudah 2 kali kamu bawa kasut ini untuk saya buat.Bawah sini sudah nipis macam kertas lah...
(He said the soles of the shoes were so thin like paper already that there was no point sewing it back and if he did,it would wear out and would be useless too.)
Mum said : Everyday you wear this shoe.Chinese New Year also wear this old old shoe.Throw it away lah.
Brothers and sisters said : Your shoes look like shit! The old Sparx(brand of school shoes currently extinct.LOL.) shoes in the cupboard looks better.
Dad : He gave me a thumbs up for keeping the pair of shoes for so long because he was the one who bought them for me :D
Some pictures of my shoes moments before I threw it away last year :(

Wear and tear.
Worn and torn.
Detachable sole.See the hole upfront?When I run,air goes in.*thumbs up*
Extra compartment.Uses : put notes inside and cheat for exam,hide drugs inside,pass hidden messages.LOL!! I'm just joking around! I never did any of that with my shoe.But note one thing,no one will ever check tht part of your shoe.
Well worn pair of shoes don't ya think?But in this picture,you can see that all the padding is still intact.It was still so damn comfortable! No shit! :)
Worn out but still intact.Not bad for 6 years of use eh?Could've lasted longer if i just glued the sole on again and stuff but I had to let it go.
Had other shoes which were well worn as too but mum threw them away on my behalf :(
BTW,notice how the leather part of my shoe still looks so good? :D
