My twelve-year-old brother wears a 13.

Partymember · 01-01-2007, 03:22 PM

yeah dude, 13 all the way. Hard to find 13 in European sizes, though. Hell, some companies don't make 13's at all.

i think thats size 40-something in the Mexican system.

how tall is your brother? I'm 6 foot so its normal to be a 13 i guess.

Well, I guess you can count me in.

I scored a pair of Converse Chuck Taylor's this evening. I've been meaning to get a pair for some time, but I hardly go anywhere that would have them.

I say these are awesome-riffic shoes.

scary_dream · 06-15-2007, 09:11 AM

Oooooh pretty! I've seen all kinds (including ones that are the color and texture of tennis balls), but not those.

I still have ye olde standby black ones for everyday wear. Yeah, I'm a boring kid, but they go with everything!

I have two pairs of OFFICIAL Converse and about a dozen ordinary sneakers.

I have a pair of Wilt like sneakers but they aren't real. They were Twelve Quid from a store at the local shopping centre (I like tyo call it Misery hell rather than Merry Hill...)

My Converse are a pair of green ones with the black flies printed on them, and a pair of Blue ones with red laces, not really that exciting...

Ah, mine are identical, except the blue is black and the yellow is pink... They look like this:

Soooooooooo comfy!

And I have tiny feet... I wear a size 4 in Converse. Go figure. And normally a size 6 1/2 in regular, non-unisex shoes...

I still think that Converse is missing out on a HUGE marketing bonanza by not selling a high-top All-Star with Wilt's face inside the star inside the circle! I would be willing to bet that the reason these shoes are experiencing such a renaissance is due to a lot of folks wanting shoes just like Wilt has; a few years ago, about the only place you could find a pair of those shoes was at the Good Will store, and now shoe stores everywhere have 'em, in all sorts of colors, but the ones I still see being worn the most are the standard black-and-white high tops.

You may be right, pbl. I wouldn't totally be surprised, if a large percentage of folks buying them are fans of Foster's.
