Converse or Nike?

[Deleted User] · 15/02/10 - 23:24

Hi,

I've been reading this forum for absolutely ages but never joined, until now.

Have been reading the advice in this part of Digital Spy, so thought I'd post my query here.

I've recently become a member of eBay, and found a couple pairs of trainers I like that I haven't found in the shops.

This one shop I landed on had both trainers I liked.eBay Shop

I really liked these Nike Trainers but also love these Converse Trainers

Any ideas which to go for, just for a casual look?

Or any others which are pretty nice?

I normally just wear jeans, leggings with a top. Simple kinda girl!

Hi!

Well I am a Converse girl!
I think either of those will work with a casual outfit.
Converse tend to get damaged more easily/faster because it is canvas and rubber so that might be something to think about but I feel it just adds more to the look and I wear them literally until they are about to fall apart.

Welcome to the forums by the way

I'd go for the Converse personally.

Definitely the Converse, I'm sure they do those ones in Schuh and Office if you did want to buy from the high street.

Are you sure you're not just promoting your Ebay shop?

I love Converse. I have a lovely pair of boo ones I got from eBay, pink with loads of red hearts all over them. They're so comfy.

In no way is this thread promoting someone's Ebay shop. No siree Bob.

Seriously though, why would you pay £30 plus p&p to get them off ebay when you could get them for the same price, if not cheaper, from the high street? At least make your prices competitive OP!

I like the Converse, I was wearing them last summer and will be wearing them this summer I have pink and may get them in blue maybe in Lemon aswell

I think proper trainers look shite with jeans on a girl.

Ha, please, certainly not my eBay shop.

I didn't manage to find the pink Converse at my local Office, although I'm going to try and get into Manchester this weekend, and might find them there.

Will certainly be having a look though, thank you.

Do Converse under leggings look tacky?

I'm a long-time Converse lover, so there's my vote

Nike

those Converse are just nasty

[Deleted User] · 18/02/10 - 16:31

Neither there both horrid!

UltraViolet · 18/02/10 - 17:57

I wear both, but do prefer Converse.

Get the converse the Nike's are ugly and the Converse is a classic(don't fancy the colour though).

Anyway Converse is alwasy superior to Nike which is a bit of a chavy brand unless you are actually doing sports in them.

converse for everyday
nike for intense running or sport

[Deleted User] · 08/03/10 - 17:10

I bought my first pair of converse in 1987 when I was 14 and I am still loyal to my chucks!

(I have gone through many pairs though - I am not on the same pair!!

)

[Deleted User] · 08/03/10 - 17:18

You've probably bought either pair of them ages ago now but I'd go for the Nikes

I think converse look quite childish but that's just me maybe

Hey there!
