The Converse fad is one I just can't understand.

When I was in school we referred to them as "birth control shoes", because you wouldn't get laid wearing them.

They are the most uncomfortable shoes I ever tried to wear. We were all really happy when we had an option.

At it's core it's the same FOMO driven demand for overhyped products that underperform like Glocks, 1911s, SIGs, FRTs

Before Nike, there was Converse. Basically the Converse fad is "OK Boomer"

FOMO for Converse? Nah, it’s fashion for fashion’s sake. Nobody missing out on something they make millions of…
I thought I'd buy some high-top chuck Taylor's to use as cheap wader boots instead of buying regular wader-boots ,HOLY SHIT BATMAN, they proud of those converse tennis shoes , didn't have my size anyway , ididnt realize that they were some kind of overpriced fashion statement, got some 19.95 walmart Chinese shit instead ,and they worked good for 4 fishing trips, but damn what happened since 1968, when I bought my last pair of chucks.

Fashion

There are tons of coworkers who have and wear every color imaginable to work, then complain about how bad their feet hurt in the morning when they get out of bed.

I learned the value of good, well made leather work boots years ago. My feet are no longer a problem.
