Or, testify to your peasant status by posting pictures of your disgusting canvas shoes you can't replace because you are too broke and/or attached to aforementioned disgusting article.

My 11-year-old blue Converse lows.

ploesj · 08.23.2009, 10:34 AM

i'll take one when i get home. yours don't look too bad..

gmku · 08.23.2009, 10:52 AM

My wife refused to be seen in public with me in them, so they don't have 11 years of actual wear. I can only wear them sans esposa.

ploesj · 08.23.2009, 11:07 AM

my five year old converse have holes so big you can always see what socks i'm wearing.

gmku · 08.23.2009, 11:13 AM

I'd like mine to get there. I think they don't look their best until they're falling apart.

These Chucks are 5 years old with almost constant wear for 3 of those years. That hole has been Shoe Goo'd shut for about a year.

gmku · 08.23.2009, 12:34 PM

Nice!

& what's shoe goo?

Sonic Youth 37 · 08.23.2009, 12:40 PM

Chiefly used nowadays among skateboarders to extend the life of their shoes.

terriblecanyons · 08.23.2009, 12:45 PM

Gaping holes in the sides...

^^There's rust forming on the right one from a guitar string...

I honestly don't know how they're still in one piece.

pinkstation · 08.23.2009, 12:52 PM

notyourfiend · 08.23.2009, 12:54 PM

terriblecanyons - those are really neat shoes!

terriblecanyons · 08.23.2009, 12:54 PM

Thanks

I've had them since I was 14 or 15... I used to get bored and draw all over them.

Yeah. It's about $5 a tube. It will hold great, but you have to let it cure for 24 hours and it's very very gooey (obvious phrase is obvious).

5 year old hemp NRTN's.

they've been through Barcelona, New York, ice, mud, paint, countless filthy shows and countless yard mowings. although I have newer adidas, I still wear these just about every day.
