One of my personal favorite shoes to wear when I'm not lacing up to step on the court and I'm going for style points. The Comme des Garcos PLAY x Converse collaborations 1970s edition. Ive learned about CDG from my best friend who passed away a couple of years ago. He was very advanced in fashion for us being sophomores in high school. But I just always was fascinated with the red heart and funny eyes. Years later it as ballooned into of the most well known clothing brands in the world. This shoe is simple yet very intriguing at the same time depending on how you view shoes. One person will see the basic black and white Chuck Taylor's with a cartoon heart on the side. Another will see a major brand collaboration between CDG and Converse.
CDG joining with Converse was a big deal on both sides of the brand because everyone knows about Converse cause they had a pair or own a pair now. With the addition of CDG to a mainstream shoe that not only sold more converse and made them cool again, but now more people in the US now about CDG. And the basic converse shoe jumps from about $60 to $125-$150. Now this is another shoe I don't think people in the Midwest realize is that important or popular because I haven't seen anybody with the any of the 4 pairs released. Which is a good feeling for me because I was one of the first to get them when they first hit online. Very stylish and soon to be very popular shoe once people realize the wave this shoe can set.
