Hey there lovely people, I missed you from our lasts week's "heel" topic :( so I thought I should involve both my girls
and guys in this week’s entry, to avoid being
sexist about shoes, after all shoes have no gender right? especial this week's. So I thought what
else could we chat about than our beloved Converse?
I don’t know about you
all but when I see converse sneakers I think of the noisy streets, kwaito and
house music and iKOTA, the hood sushi lol.
It is with no doubt that converse is
a beautiful sneaker, actually one of the best selling sneakers amongst the
Black community, not being racist ofcoz but converse screams out I am ghetto
infect I am ghetto-fabulous. You
step in them and you forget about manners, no crossing your legs for girls or
even the basic process of cleaning them up. They offer this gang star thuggish
image, the feeling that you could die today and have no regrets in the heavens.
Honestly, I swear that the converse-head’s
motto in life is live for today and
tomorrow shall see itself (I think that is how the saying goes). They make
you feel free and ready to take off at any moment; I guess it is due to their
unbelievable comfort. We flaunt in them and some even take it to an extent of
incorporating them in their image, you the Pansulas.

Converse is seen worn by celebrities like; yes,
I would not leave his name out Chris Brown J who
has a brand image centred on him being this bad boy kind of guy. We may
remember very well our very own South African artist Zola who too is fond of
these sneakers he even at some point branded them to his zola7 pieces. So I
think we all agree that brand image around converse gives and ever-lasting
impression that you are a street-wise
ghetto champ. We have people who choose to brand their own converse to make a clear statement of the brand.
