Got some made in Japan converse , there a late 50's repro from the timeline series ..... nothing super special but what can you expect from a pair of converse ??

I didn't remember to take a close up pic of the toe cap but it has the same ridge as seen on pre 70's converse , it's a nice detail that they recreated and shows that there was at least a bit of thought put into them

I actually prefer cheapo Chucks to the 70's.. i appreciate the 70's are a little more luxurious with more cushioning in the footbed but i'm not that fussed

I appreciate artisan chocolate but i'd often choose a Crunchie or a Double Decker over Cocao Wonderland  :D

You'de only be 'niche-trendy' and i don't think you'd be able to wear them.. the foam mid would turn to powder within hours..

..Holds out a pocket watch..

Wearing my Made in Japan Chucks today, not extremely happy with these but they will be my next daily sneakers anyways.
The laces felt so cheap I had to swap them for the thick cotton ones from my old Chuck 70s, I think it made the appearance of the shoes a bit better.
Paired with a new pair of regular 501 STFs (non LVC) which I really enjoy, they are really rare here in Europe so first time trying them.

Anyone tired out Catchball Sneakers from Korea?
I've seen a few retailers pick them up recently, was interested in trying a pair out. Pretty reasonably priced at certain shops.

@generic_guy great spot… yep Court Force High from 2005… all confirmed via @Double 0 Soul’s trick there… thanks gents

It transpires (as I just took a closer look) they’ve been stored in a Dunk High box and not worn in 17 years until recently

I now recollect I gave my old man the all black Dunk High, clearly minus the box
