There are some things in life that are so classic, so iconic, that no matter how many people wear them, and no matter how much time passes, they will always remain a classic. Converse is one such thing. In fact Converse recently launched a new video with the tagline “Shoes are boring. Wear sneakers”. How right they are. Trainers with a suit looks awful but you can wear Converse with anything and still look smart. Think Lily Allen in her prom dresses and The Strokes in their suits.

I bought my first pair of Converse when I was a teenager and I am still wearing them years later.

Converse started in 1908, Marquis Mills Converse decided to start a rubber sneaker company. In 1913 Converse said, “Our company was organized in 1908 fully believing that there was an earnest demand from the retail sneaker dealer for a rubber sneaker company that would be independent enough not to follow every other company in every thing they do.”

That is the thing about Converse. They have stood the test of time. With great design and good quality they have entered the popular conscious. Even though they are popular they are still a great fashion buy. They bridge the gap between cool and popular. Frost loves.

Do you own a pair of Converse?
