I used to be a big wearer of Chuck Taylor's before I got my AB Aldens and have pretty much worn them everywhere since. Today however at the Converse shop down near the Gold Coast I found these, brown leather high tops with a moc toe, and had to buy them. I think I will put some brown laces on them however. Not bad I thought, what do you guys reckon...worth a wear? :D

And next to my AB Aldens

Kind of look like high top boat shoes.

Chuck Jones'? I had to check these out. That is pretty cool. I'm a big fan of the brown and gold laces, though. I have 'em on my Corcoran jump boots. They look great on any brown shoe, really.

Those made me chuckle. :lol:

\Other than 'RedBall Jets', Chuck Taylors were what we wore all summer long...high AND low top. They're both 'old school'.

Never seen a pair like these, though! NEAT find! :M: :tup:

Regards! Michaelson

Does anywhere know where to get these NOW? The only places I can find have them back ordered until October.

I"m glad you guys got a laugh out of them. They had a few pairs where I bought them from so I'm a little surprised they're not more readily available over there. Cheers for the comments guys :)

I would leave the laces the way they are, they give a nice contrast, but to each his own. Nice find by the way. :TOH:
