It's been Samba-K's for me since junior high. I tried those Chuck Taylors back in HS and thought they were the most uncomfortable, useless things on the planet. The Sambas are pretty much all I wear besides Docs (work/nicer outfits). Between the Docs and the Sambas, they've been the most reliable, comfortable shoes ever.

And then there was the 7 years in the Corps where I found out Corframs are in fact the worst invention known to man.

EDIT: And Birks for when it's nice outside or around the house. They're comfy too.

I wear Nike Delta Force High AC and Nike SB Mavrks. I switch off everyday, or on what I'm wearing.

BMW E90 · 03-22-2011, 11:30 PM

So I asked a few friends and co-workers and they said "converse shoes are comfortable and they go with everything". I guess that's the best answer I'm ever gonna get...haha

BMW E90 · 03-22-2011, 11:48 PM

These look nice. Damn about to pull the trigger...

It's funny to me because you can tell that a house is Asian by the Honda and Toyota cars parked in their driveway. Nowadays you could also tell by all the Converse shoes at the mat.

Anyhow, I don't have a problem with any of it. I'm just curious as to why they are so popular (perhaps more so with Asians?). Thoughts?

this is stupid
